Penguins & Wildlife Nature Experience

Set out from Melbourne for a day of classic Aussie wildlife, wild coastlines and a seriously special evening with the penguins. Your first stop is Moonlit Sanctuary, where you can wander among kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, reptiles and Tasmanian devils, with the chance to get a little closer to some of the locals for a small extra fee.

From there, the scenery shifts to the rugged beauty of Phillip Island’s southern coast. At The Nobbies, you’ll stroll the clifftop boardwalks, take in sweeping Bass Strait views and keep an eye out for the blowhole if the conditions are right. Then, as dusk settles, you’ll head to the penguin viewing areas and watch little penguins shuffle ashore after a day at sea. It’s one of those genuinely magic wildlife moments, with plenty to spot along the way — from wallabies and bandicoots to geese and shearwaters. If you love nature with a side of fresh sea air, this is the one to book.

Know before you go: - Please arrive at the designated meeting point on time, as the tour departs according to schedule. - Bring a warm jacket, as coastal conditions on Phillip Island can get chilly after sunset. - Comfortable walking shoes are a good idea for boardwalks, sanctuary paths and viewing areas. - If you’d like a close-up koala or wallaby encounter, allow for the small additional fee mentioned by the operator. - Wildlife sightings can vary with the weather and season, so the exact animals you see along the way may change from day to day.
