This full-day tour from Melbourne to Phillip Island lasts about 10 hours and includes visits to several key wildlife and coastal sites. The day starts with a one-hour visit to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, where kangaroos, koalas, wombats, Tasmanian devils, and other native Australian animals such as the spot-tailed quoll and yellow-bellied glider can be seen. Next, the tour stops for about 20 minutes at Woolamai Beach, a rugged stretch of golden sand at the base of Cape Woolamai known for its strong surf. Afterward, the group spends approximately 45 minutes in Cowes, the island’s largest town, where visitors can walk along the beach and jetty and enjoy views over Western Port Bay. The tour then continues to the Nobbies Centre for a 45-minute walk on boardwalks around volcanic rock formations and Seal Rock, home to the largest Australian fur seal colony. Wildlife such as swamp wallabies and penguins may be spotted in this area. As evening approaches, the tour arrives at Summerland Beach for the main event, the Penguin Parade. For about two hours after sunset, guests watch little penguins emerge from the sea in groups and waddle across the beach to their nests. The tour includes all entrance fees, in-vehicle air conditioning, a free audio guide app, and pickup and drop-off within Melbourne CBD. Food and bottled water are not provided. Visitors should dress warmly for the evening, as it can be cold and windy during the Penguin Parade.
