What to expect
Start your afternoon the best way possible with a visit to the Phillip Island Koala Conservation Reserve, where elevated boardwalks wind through native bushland giving you the chance to spot koalas resting in the treetops. From here, discover the natural beauty of Phillip Island as you take in rugged coastlines, pristine beaches, and sweeping ocean views. Visit The Nobbies, where dramatic clifftop scenery meets crashing waves, and keep an eye out for penguin burrows, and Australian fur seals offshore. As sunset approaches, prepare for cuteness overload at the world-famous Penguin Parade. Home to over 32,000 Little Penguins, this unforgettable wildlife experience sees hundreds—sometimes thousands—of the world’s smallest penguins emerge from the surf and waddle up the beach to their burrows. Watch this spectacle unfold at Summerland Beach and explore the interactive Visitor Centre to learn about penguin conservation before returning to Melbourne with memories to last a lifetime.
