See all the world class attractions of Phillip Island in one day on this small group eco tour from Melbourne.
Departing Melbourne at around midday, you'll travel to Victoria's most colourful attraction, the iconic Brighton Beach bathing boxes for an opportunity to visit the beach and take some time to admire these historic landmarks.
Get up close to koalas and other Australian animals at the Moonlit Sanctuary Conservation Park under supervision from the incredible staff at the Sanctuary. Watch a wildlife show and even have the chance to hand feed cute Wallabies and Kangaroos!
The highlight of your Phillip Island experience will begin at dusk as you watch the fairy penguins waddling up the beach into their burrows in the sand dunes.

This was one of the highlights of my first trip to Australia. In a span of about 10h I have experienced something I call uniquely Australian. We stopped by Brighton Beach to see colorful beach boxes. It looked like a happy and relaxing place. Next, at Moonlit Animal Sanctuary I saw kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, wombat, and many birds I’ve seen for the first time. Then we headed off to Phillip Island to see the penguins on parade. Along the way I saw beautiful sceneries of the countryside with cows (first time to see pure white ones), sheep, and horses, and the coast. At Phillip Island we hiked on a boardwalk down a hill; the view was magnificent. Then to the much anticipated penguin parade, we passed by many wallabies, geese and other birds. Up to this point I have taken lots of beautiful pictures. After sunset the little penguins started coming out of the water; they were so cute and funny as they waddled from the water through a stretch of sandy beach and onto the hillside to their burrows. No picture- taking here but it was okay.
Our guide, Rachael, was very nice, friendly, entertaining and informative. She is a gem. I would do this eco tour activity again if I come back here. It was so worth the time and money I spent.

See the first penguins come out of the ocean. And then watching a whole group form and waddle across the beach. It seemed like they waited until their group was all ready to go before they moved. It was like magic the way they appeared too. We got to see them going up the path too. What cute little penguins.

Don’t take this tour without Michael, a native of “Mel-burn” and easily the best driver and tour guide in my 50+ year traveling soul. Knowledgeable, informed, and engaged, if not a bit festive. Not too much or too little, the “Goldilocks” right in the sweet-soy middle of know-it-all tour guides and those who don’t care. #AskForMichael

What a brilliant experience! Chris M was a great guide.
The kids got to feed kangaroos and wallabies and the penguin parade was maybe the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Penguin Island is awesome. Most definitely something we do not see at home. Was able to experience in their own environment. Terry is an awesome driver keeping everyone on time, good sense of humor and making sure in his kind way we could hear what to expect at each stop.
