Jump on board a tour to Phillip Island and get up close and personal with an array of Aussie wildlife! Check out the awesome coastline of Phillip Island and then witness one of Australia’s most spectacular wildlife experiences as hundreds of the world’s smallest penguins waddle ashore. You’ll also get to hand-feed kangaroos, get up close to koalas and spot Fur Seals on the rugged rocky coastline of the Victorian Island
We escape the concrete jungle of Melbourne and begin our day at a wildlife park where you will have the pleasure of meeting some furry Australian favourites. We will also stop here and have lunch (own expense).
We move on to tour the length of Phillip Island, known for its sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and unique wildlife experiences. Be awed by the giant surf at Woolamai beach and the rugged coastline of Cape Woolamai as we stop to enjoy some afternoon tea in Cowes. During the summer months, we take this opportunity to cool off with a visit to the beach.
At the Western tip of the island there is a majestic rocky coast, home to a colony of fur seals. We wander along the boardwalk checking penguin burrows for life and then we're on to the penguin parade. Check out the award-winning Visitors Centre and as the sun drops, witness the world`s littlest penguins emerge from the sea and waddle ashore. This is a truly magical experience.

Penguins were also seen around the boardwalks near the Antarctic exhibit and you could take a picture of them nesting. This is not at the Penguin Parade where photos are prohibited to keep the penguins from getting scared.

Fantastic day!!!!
It was one the best tours we have had on our trip to Australia. Troy our guide/driver was so good and friendly, he was so knowledgeable and gave us good tips where to sit in penguin parade. All in all a must go trip specially for families.

Up close
Up close and personal with the penguins, great for families but even on a weekday in summer the venue is crowded
From Phillip Island Penguin Tour - from Melbourne
Hi Tkarunphan, Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear you had a fantastic up-close experience with the penguins. It truly is a special opportunity, perfect for families to learn and appreciate these amazing birds. We understand your comment about the venue being crowded, even on a weekday in summer. Penguin exhibits can be popular attractions, and we strive to manage visitor numbers whenever possible to ensure a positive experience for everyone. If you're interested in future visits, you might consider inquiring about any off-peak times or special tours offered by the venue. These can sometimes provide a less crowded experience! Thank you again for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed getting up close with the penguins! Kindest regards, GLT Group

Penguin parade, koala and wildlife experience
Ash our guide was very knowledgeable and had a variety of story’s to tell us about the area, despite the rain he managed to entertain us for the entire journey, the penguin parade is amazing to watch and left me mesmerised I would definitely go back to see this again, the koala and wildlife park was a little bit of a let down due to small paddocks but it was lovely to walk amongst the kangaroos and wallaby’s. Ash took us to a number of beach locations which were lovely to see but would have been more enjoyable if not in the rain.

非常轻松有意思的旅程
小企鹅很有趣。行程看了野生动物园，看了考拉，袋鼠和很多鸟。还在岛上看了一处自然风景，海边景色壮丽。纪念品店都很贵，而且东西不多，连冰箱贴都几乎没有。
