Absolutely loved our visit to the Phillip Island Penguin Parade. The whole experience was incredibly well organised from easy ticket entry to the smooth seating process. Watching hundreds of little penguins waddle back to shore at sunset was unforgettable and honestly one of the most magical wildlife experiences we’ve had in Australia. The staff were friendly and helpful and the viewing areas gave everyone a great experience without disturbing the penguins. Booking through Headout was simple and stress free with instant confirmation and clear instructions. Highly recommend arriving before sunset to enjoy the coastal views and visitor centre before the parade begins. A must do experience for families couples and international visitors alike.

Was so nice to see the little penguins, the set up is really nice. What disappointed me was the amount of people who had no regard for the rules around phones and cameras, it honestly made me mad, the rules are there to protect the penguins, it must be very frustrating for the workers there having to constantly tell people to stop filming or taking photos... and even then they'll still ignor the rules.

In my 34 years here in Melbourne, that was my first visit to the Phillip Island to see the penguins. It was an awesome experience and I actually posted my photos on my facebook account to share with my relatives and friends how amazing I felt when I finally ticked this off my bucket list. Thanks to the friendly staff. Cheers!

Such a great experience, seeing the penguins was magical. They were so small and cute. Wanting them to get over that sand to the dunes and find friends getting it the water was mesmerizing. This was a core memory made

Cityscapes from the Melbourne Skydeck

Experience the sheer exhilaration of zipping all the way up to the 88th floor of Melbourne’s magnificent Eureka Tower. Considered to be the world’s tallest residential skyscraper, the tower has been an imposing structure in the Southbank precinct of Melbourne since its completion on 1 June 2006. From your unique vantage point at a height of 300 meters, you will be able to see Albert Park Lake, the Dandenong Ranges, Port Phillip Bay, the MCG, Federation Square, and much more. There are about 30 viewfinders installed on the Skydeck to assist you in spotting these great landmarks in Melbourne.

Peek into the Penguin Haven

Every morning, little penguins (they're only a bit taller than bowling pins!) depart from their burrow and spend the day fishing at sea. During the course of the day, they will travel up to 20 km in search of fish. After dusk, they return home and waddle across the beach in a penguin parade. It's one of the cutest displays of wildlife you will get to see and the sheer quantity of the penguins will surprise you. The best part is that the park is accessible within 90 minutes from Melbourne, and is an attraction that both adults and kids alike will enjoy!
