Immerse yourself in the best Australian wildlife with a visit to the Koala Conservation Reserve on Phillip Island. A close encounter with Australian native species is on the cards during your visit to this must-see Phillip Island attraction. Wander along two elevated boardwalks which bring you face-to-face with adorable koalas going about their daily business having a snooze or a bite to eat.
Keep your eyes peeled for wallabies, echidnas and colourful native birds treating their guests to a special birdsong. The Phillip Island Koala Conservation Reserve is the perfect place for visitors of all ages to experience Australian wildlife in a natural environment and interactive displays at the visitor centre enhance the experience. Nature lovers and keen bushwalkers can also take advantage of the six hectares of accessible trails nestled among lush Australian bushland and a nature play area to inspire the kids to create their own adventures with nature and wildlife installations.

Its a good experience for the people who never seen penguins before
Philip Island is one of the best places that i love. So I love everything here. I like the vibe here. This is the second time that I’m taking this experience and it's something I can’t forget. The guidance and the information they give to people is marvellous.

Awesome experience with the purchase and the visit to all the places.
Had a smooth transaction with Experience Oz and the vouchers were delivered electronically within free seconds after the purchase. Already bought a few vouchers earlier too from Experience Oz. Good experience overall. The rate the Experience Oz voucher sells is very competitive. They cover pretty much all the attractions in Australia which is awesome as then you can have discounted tickets in one place. Nice experience..!!!
Review for Phillip Island 3 Parks Pass
Penguin Parade and Churchill Island activities were great.
Penguin Parade and Churchill Island activities were great. The Antarctic Journey was not really impressing. Bought 2 tickets but only received 1 by email. I had to ask the counter to check my ticket by providing the agent reference number. It was a little bit inconvenient though.
