1 Day Phillip Island Deluxe Tour Itinerary
Experience a day like no other on our 1-Day Phillip Island Tour! Visit picturesque coastal towns and get up close with adorable Aussie wildlife. Then in the evening, witness the famous Penguin Parade—all on the same day.
Your adventure begins with a visit to Moonlit Sanctuary Conservation Park. Home to over 70 native species, including mammals, birds, & reptiles. As you wander through the sanctuary, get up close to Aussie icons like emus, dingos, and wombats. Attend wildlife talks, feed kangaroos and wallabies, and learn about their conservation program. Or, experience a close-up koala encounter and snap a photo with a fuzzy koala (available at your own cost).
After meeting all the cute animals, we will head to Cape Woolamai Beach. Stroll along the long surf beach and dip your toes in the ocean. We will then head straight for the Nobbies Reserve.
Take a walk around the many boardwalks to see the blowhole, coastline, and rocky cliffs. Spot little penguins in their homes or observe seals on the rocks sunbathing. Check out the Nobbies Centre or grab a bite to eat at the cafe.
In the evening we will make our way to the main show, the Penguin Parade! Here we will watch little fairy penguins waddle up Summerland Beach from the ocean. Observe the little creatures making their way to their homes after a long day of hunting. A true sight to behold!
After a day of exploration, we will board the bus one final time on our way back to Melbourne.
