From Melbourne: Phillip Island and Penguin Parade Day Tour

See the Penguin Parade on a full-day tour of Phillip Island from Melbourne. Watch a colony of tiny penguins emerge from the sea, making their way to the sand dunes for a peaceful night’s sleep.

Embark on a wildlife adventure from Melbourne, exploring Moonlit Sanctuary's kangaroos and koalas. Relax at Cape Woolamai Beach and spot seals at the Nobbies. End the day at Summerland Beach, witnessing adorable penguins emerging from the ocean at sunset.

Departing from Melbourne, head to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park. Explore the wildlife park, home to kangaroos, wombats, and other Aussie animals. Learn all about koalas from a ranger. Then, see more native Australian wildlife and get to take a photo with a cute koala (own cost).

Continue to Cape Woolamai Beach where you can watch surfers, stroll along the beach, and dip your toes in the water. Afterward, visit the Nobbies. As you follow the boardwalk, try to spot the seals lounging on Seal Rocks.

During the winter months, you may be lucky enough to spot a whale off the coast. In the summer months, keep an eye out for baby penguin chicks hiding in little burrows.

When the sun begins to set, head to Summerland Beach for the main event of the tour. As the last glimpse of daylight fades away, see tiny penguins emerging from the ocean. Watch as the little penguins make their way across the beach and settle into their nests after a long day of fishing in the sea.

After a full day of exploration, head back to Melbourne.
