Itinerary
Join AAT Kings on this experience-packed Phillip Island day tour, where you’ll visit pristine beaches, see native wildlife in their natural habitat, and enjoy inspiring coastal views from the island’s best vantage points.
You’ll get to visit the Koala Conservation Reserve, where you can see koalas, wallabies, echidnas, and native birds on a guided walk with an experienced ranger. Head to The Nobbies with its picturesque rocky shores before going to the Penguin Parade Visitor Centre, where you can learn about the little penguins Phillip Island is famous for.
As the sun sets, find a viewing spot on Summerland Beach and witness the exciting Penguin Parade as hundreds of penguins emerge from the sea and waddle across the beach to their dune burrows. You have the option to upgrade to a premium viewing platform or personal ranger experience.
After an unforgettable day, return to Melbourne.
