Penguins & Wildlife Nature Experience - Penguins Plus upgrade

Spend a full day exploring some of Victoria’s best wildlife and coastal scenery, starting with a visit to Moonlit Sanctuary. Here you’ll wander through native bushland and meet some of Australia’s most loved animals, from kangaroos and wallabies to koalas, reptiles and Tasmanian devils. With a bit of luck, you may even be able to get closer to a koala or hand-feed a wallaby for a small extra fee.

From there, head to The Nobbies for a walk along the clifftop boardwalks, where sweeping views stretch across Bass Strait and out towards Seal Rocks. Keep an eye on the coastline — the blowhole can put on a show when conditions are right. Then, as evening settles over Phillip Island, make your way to the Penguins Plus viewing platform and watch the little penguins come ashore after a day at sea. It’s a genuinely special wildlife moment, and one you’ll remember long after you head back to Melbourne.

Know before you go: - Bring a warm jacket and comfortable walking shoes, as coastal conditions can get breezy in the evening. - A small fee applies if you choose to take part in certain close-up animal encounters at Moonlit Sanctuary. - The Penguin Parade takes place after sunset, so expect a late return to Melbourne. - Wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, but the area is home to plenty of native species worth watching for. - Photography rules around the penguins can be strict, so follow staff instructions on the day. - Check your booking details carefully for departure time and meeting point information before you go.
