Here’s the very best of Victoria’s wildlife experiences. The Penguin Parade is an absolute ‘must’ on every visitor’s itinerary, but this tour gives you so much more.

First stop is Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, where you can get up close to wallabies on the wallaby walk (you may see little joeys peeking out of their mothers’ pouches). Enjoy a ranger providing unique insights and information during the daily koala presentation.

Then we travel on to the spectacular Cape Woolamai Surf Beach. Located on the southern coast of Phillip Island, this beach is exposed to the ocean swells and the surf here is truly impressive. It's also not uncommon to see dolphins or seals swimming in the waters just off the beach.

We also visit the Nobbies and Australia’s largest Fur Seal colony at Seal Rocks. Finally, the ultimate attraction: hundreds of Little Penguins emerging from the ocean and waddling across the beach to their sand dune burrows.

What an amazing day! My favorite part of the trip was to Philip Island, which had an abundance of unique wildlife! We saw kangaroos, wallabies, a variety of birds and even a porcupine roaming around! The rugged coastline views at the Nobbies walkway was just spectacular to experience! We saw a few Little Penguins here near the boardwalk in their burrows. We saw many of the Little Penguins during the parade come out of the water and up along the boardwalk! It was amazing and delightful to watch! Sherif, our tour guide, was friendly and wonderful as a guide. He had an abundance of knowledge about the area and the wildlife! He made this trip fantastic! Highly recommend the tour! Phillip Island, with the captivating coastline and unique wildlife, is a place I will always cherish and remember!

You want to hit the road with Chris H and Lisa! Wanted to journey out of town from Melbourne to see wildlife while solo traveling, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Visiting the Moonlit Santuary and the Penguin Parade were a highlight of my time in Australia. I would definitely recommend this tour for the opportunity to learn more about Victoria and its wildlife.

I had the most amazing time on this tour! It met all my expectations from getting to see koalas, but also feeding kangaroos, and wallabies. The grand finale of seeing the adorable penguin parade on Phillip Island. Our driver Terry was fun and very knowledgeable about each of the stops along the way.
