This afternoon eco tour departs from Melbourne and lasts about eight to ten hours. The tour travels to Phillip Island, including a visit to Cape Woolamai Beach for thirty minutes during the summer season. There is a one-hour stop in Cowes for dinner, with various dining options available, also only in summer. A fifteen-minute visit to The Nobbies follows, where visitors can walk along the clifftop boardwalk and observe the local seal colony and ocean views. The main part of the tour is the two-hour Penguin Parade at Phillip Island, where visitors watch Victoria’s largest colony of little penguins return from the ocean to their nesting burrows. During this time, penguin behaviors such as feeding, mating, caring for young, and moulting can be observed. Entry fees for the Penguin Parade are included, as is onboard WiFi and air conditioning in the vehicle. A professional English-speaking guide provides information throughout the trip. Photography is not allowed at the Penguin Parade, and large bags, strollers, prams, baby capsules, luggage, and walkers cannot be brought on board. An optional combination tour includes the Puffing Billy half-day tour in the morning, a lunch break in Melbourne, and the Phillip Island Penguin Parade in the afternoon.
