Venture 90 minutes out of Melbourne to the Pristine white beaches that are Philip Island. On your journey you will encounter iconic wildlife and stunning scenic views. Start the day off with a visit to the Koala Conservation Reserve, learning the importance of the conservation work done by Phillip Island Nature Parks in protecting this island haven and the biodiversity of Victoria. Explore the tree top boardwalks to see the koalas up close in their natural habitat. Explore the iconic Nobbies, the home of one of the largest fur seal colonies in Australia.

Then there is the main attraction – The little penguins waddling up the sand to their dune burrow homes returning from their daily fishing excursion. Arrive at Phillip Island Parade Visitors Centre and learn about the life cycle of the little penguins and learn of the environmental and conservation initiatives in place to ensure the wildlife and vulnerable geology of Phillip Island remains protected.  As the sun goes down, head to the beach and watch as the Little Penguins battle the surf and make their way to their dune burrows. See the Little Penguins up close as they return to their nests to greet their families. Depending on the season there will be time for dinner (own expense) before or after the Penguin Parade at the Phillip Island Nature Park Visitor Centre before returning to Melbourne.
