Phillip Island Penguins Plus Tour from Melbourne - Full Day
Highlights & inclusions
What you can expect
Journey from Melbourne to Phillip Island for a full day of native wildlife, coastal scenery and the world-famous Penguin Parade. An expert local guide leads your small group of up to 24, sharing stories and local insight along the way. Start with a stop at the colourful Brighton Beach Boxes before heading to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park. Here you can say g'day to kangaroos, wallabies and koalas.
From the sanctuary, continue to The Nobbies for sweeping coastal views across Bass Strait. As dusk falls, settle into the dedicated Penguins Plus grandstand along one of the penguins' busiest pathways. Watch as the little penguins waddle out of the ocean and make their way home to their burrows. It's a magical end to a day of wildlife and coastal discovery before your return to Melbourne.
