Phillip Island is home to diverse wildlife and coastal landscapes. This full-day bus tour from Melbourne lasts about 12 to 14 hours and visits several key sites. The first stop is Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, where visitors can see kangaroos, wallabies, birds, reptiles, Tasmanian Devils, and koalas. A ranger-led koala presentation is included, and there is a chance to see wallabies up close on the wallaby walk. Next, the tour stops at Cape Woolamai Beach on Phillip Island’s southern coast during the summer season. Guests have about 30 minutes to walk on the beach and may spot dolphins or seals offshore. Then, the tour continues to The Nobbies boardwalks, offering panoramic views of the coast and access to Australia’s largest fur seal colony. Visitors have 15 minutes here to observe seals resting on rocks or swimming. The final and main event is the Penguin Parade at dusk. Guests receive general admission and can spend around two hours at the new visitor center, which features displays about Little Penguins. The guide allows plenty of time to walk the paths and boardwalks near the penguin burrows before watching hundreds of Little Penguins come ashore and return to their nests. The tour includes pickup from selected Melbourne hotels, on-board WiFi, air conditioning, and a friendly guide. Photography and video are not permitted at the Penguin Parade, and some personal items are restricted on the bus.
