We had an amazing experience on our half day tour of Phillip Island which included the Penguin Parade. Our guide, Jackie, was incredibly enthusiastic, professional, and so knowledgeable. She shared the history of the island, the significance of the aboriginal experience in the past as well as their contributions in contemporary times. Jackie looked after all of the details and made sure that everyone's needs were taken care of. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering a visit to Phillip Island . Many, many thanks to Jackie and her team. Johnson and Clara

After exploring Phillip Island during a beautiful sunny day, we made our way to the Penguin Parade area, waiting patiently for the sun to set and the night sky to darken and then:: walaahhhh!! The first couple gorgeous little fellows started coming out of the waves unsure at first, but then with a few other friends (as the say safety in numbers) they made their way to the usual little path to bring food n comfort to the babies in their nest!! It has been an amazing experience, also to book tickets for the event trough Headout was so easy without any hassles!!

I Praise The LORD JESUS CHRIST because first I must give honour to whom honour is due!Thank you. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised when I rang on the same morning to be able to get 4 tickets at $34:00 Each. My wife was saying tickets are very expensive. Anyway it was a great Blessing to be able to take my brother and his wife (mine included) to Philip island And experience this wonderful scenario. It was worth every penny. Thank you for providing this platform to book my tickets. God bless you!

Families, be aware, if you book through Headout app, you cannot access the family ticket discount. Book directly through Phillip Island Penguin Parade website and save some $. Penguins were super cute! So many visitors ignored all the instructions given by the guides to protect them - not sure why these people come if not interested in conservation - more interested for the perfect photo for social media. This detracted from the experience a little.

The penguin parade was amazing to watch them come out of the ocean but to then watch them march up the hill beside the boardwalk was the absolute highlight. I was disappointed in the food in the venue and given there were so many overseas tourists it was a bad reflection on Australia. Given we were next to the ocean the fish I ordered looked and tasted like it came out of the Cole's freezer section.

Sitting on the sand by the wild Bass Strait, wind in our faces, we waited patiently as the sun set. And then magically, in small groups of 6-10 the fairy penguins emerged from the surf and began there long slow waddle up the beach, into the dunes, to the safety of their burrows. A wonderful nature experience at Philip Island, very well managed and highly recommended.

Catch sight of little penguins returning home at dusk in the world-famous Penguin Parade. The parade is particularly great for educating children on wildlife and nature awareness.

Admire the penguins on the new Penguins Premium viewing platform that's directly inspired by the magnificent coves of the island's southern coast.

You have the option to upgrade to the 3 Parks Pass for Penguin Parade, Koalas, and Churchill Island Heritage Farm, or take the Penguins Express Afternoon Day Tour from Melbourne.

Fun fact: Phillip Island is home to one of the largest penguin colonies in Australia.

We had a wonderful experience at the Phillip Island Nature Parks Penguin Parade! 🐧 It was amazing to see the little penguins returning to shore, and it was such a memorable experience for the whole family, especially the kids. Booking through Headout was easy and convenient. Highly recommended for families visiting Phillip Island! ❤️

A great experience for the whole family. With a great value for money we could visit 3 different attractions. They were all nature related. Being a homeschool family we value the natural interactions. It was a wonderful experience, easy to access all the attractions and an opportunity for bonding and learning together.

The penguin parade was wonderful. The drive to get there is a bit of a slog, but overall it was a decent experience. I'd definitely do it again.

Experience the magic of the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island

Witness one of Australia’s most beloved wildlife experiences with entry to the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island Nature Parks. Every evening at sunset, watch as hundreds of little penguins emerge from the ocean and make their charming waddle home along the beach. With access to both the boardwalks and visitor centre, you’ll enjoy informative exhibits, spectacular coastal views, and up-close encounters with nature.

What to expect

Your visit includes entry to the Penguin Parade, access to the general viewing platform, and the elevated boardwalks that wind along the penguins’ path. This popular vantage point offers sweeping views of Summerlands Beach and the penguins’ nightly journey as they return from a day at sea.

Upgrade your experience

Choose from two premium viewing options for an even more memorable encounter:

Penguins Express Afternoon Day Tour: Enjoy a seamless full-day trip from Melbourne, including return transfers and priority entry to the Penguin Parade. Relax on a guided journey with time to explore the coast and soak up the natural scenery along the way.

3 Parks Pass: Enhance your visit by selecting the 3 Parks Pass, which includes entry to two additional nature attractions:

Koala Conservation Reserve: Wander tree-top boardwalks through eucalypt woodlands and spot koalas in their natural habitat.

Churchill Island: Discover heritage gardens, historical farming displays, and scenic walking trails on one of Victoria’s oldest European settlements.

Whether you stick to the classic Penguin Parade or opt for immersive upgrades, this is an unforgettable wildlife experience suitable for all ages and interests.

What to bring

You can pack a raincoat or umbrella if rain is predicted.

What's not allowed

Photographs and video recordings are not allowed when penguins are coming home, because the artificial light sources will stimulate the eyes of the penguins. The island implements light control at this time.

Big bags are not permitted. Only small carry-on bags are allowed inside.

Accessibility

All parks are accessible by wheelchair.
