Here’s the very best of Victoria’s wildlife experiences. The Penguin Parade is an absolute ‘must’ on every visitor’s itinerary, but this tour gives you so much more.
First stop is Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, where you can get up close to wallabies on the wallaby walk (you may see little joeys peeking out of their mothers’ pouches). Enjoy a ranger providing unique insights and information during the daily koala presentation.
Then we travel on to the spectacular Cape Woolamai Surf Beach. Located on the southern coast of Phillip Island, this beach is exposed to the ocean swells and the surf here is truly impressive. It's also not uncommon to see dolphins or seals swimming in the waters just off the beach.
We also visit the Nobbies and Australia’s largest Fur Seal colony at Seal Rocks. Finally, the ultimate attraction: hundreds of Little Penguins emerging from the ocean and waddling across the beach to their sand dune burrows.

This was one of the highlights of my trip. In a span of about 10h I have experienced something I call uniquely Australian. At Moonlit Animal Sanctuary we 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 we saw beautiful sceneries of the countryside with cows (first time to see pure white ones), sheep, and horses, and the coast (we stopped to see very colorful bath houses). At Phillip Island we did a little hike 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. The little penguins were so cute and funny as they waddled from the water through a stretch of sandy beach and onto the hillside to their burrows.
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.

The Phillip island tour culminating with experiencing nature at its best with the little penguins braving their lives coming ashore among the crowds - many who do not respect the rules of no photos for the sanctity of the penguins - was wonderful. I also got to see many of Australia’s animals at a sanctuary prior to the penguins and on Philip island there was also wildlife to see like the wallabies & some distinct geese.

Had a nice day. The Penguin Parade was my favourite part. Jon (Tour-Guide) was awesome and easy to chat with/asking questions.

It is one of my biggest disappointments that we did not get to participate because of an unexpected illness.

We had a great time in the tour. The bus was comfortable enough. Our guide Mike was very friendly and helpful. The day was well organized. All of the explanation and history of areas was interesting.
Overall we enjoyed our experience and would suggest to friends.

Israel was amazing, he kept a good spirit throughout the trip, he's very informative and knows what he's talking about.
We had a great little road trip through the bushes towards the end of our adventure; definitely recommend the tour!
Minus point was phillip island in itself, while it was great to see the penguins come out of the ocean, photographing them is strictly prohibited.

Michael was a fantastic tour guide, understanding to our needs and accommodating in every way. Knowledgeable and adaptable; went the extra mile to show us a Penguin burrow nestled in a small bush.
