What you can expect

If you love nature and wildlife then this small group tour from Melbourne is the right pick for you! Departing from the city, you'll head out to some of the most popular nature spots including Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park before arriving at Phillip Island to visit The Nobbies and watch the world famous Penguin Parade. At the Moonlit Sanctuary, take a stroll through the Wallaby Walk to see some Australian favourites including Koalas, Tasmanian Devils and Wallabies and Kangaroos.

Next, views of the dramatic headlands will welcome you to Nobbies Board and Wildlife. The region is home to a colony of seals and boasts spectacular sea bluffs, ocean views and amazing birdlife. Finally, the day will wrap up with an unforgettable finale, the Phillip Island Penguin Parade taking place at dusk at the Penguin Visitor Centre. Watch as these little penguins waddle ashore and up to the beach to their burrows bringing home an evening feed for their families. Learn about these fascinating creatures as the natural phenomena takes place right before your eyes. A return transfer to Melbourne will deliver you back to the city after a day of relaxation, discovery and wildlife encounters.
