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

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.

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.

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.

Tol was most helpful in upgrading my ticket. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating.The Fairy Penguin parade was extra special. The gift shop items are fairly priced and great to hear of the percentages to further fund the upkeep etc of the facility and beyond. Well done Phillip Island

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.

Watching the little penguins come back from the ocean and make their way across the beach was definitely the highlight of our visit. It was such a special and memorable experience for our family, especially for our two girls. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional throughout the visit. I especially appreciated how clearly they reinforced the no-camera policy to help protect the penguins and reduce disturbance. The beautiful weather was also a lovely bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable.

Although a cold windy night , the little penguins did not disappoint, they were incredibly cute and astonishing that they come in every night to settle on their homes. What was disappointing were the amount of people in complete disregard for what they were told and not use phones after sunset , many many times they told and still I saw so many being used on the beach and boardwalk. I hope the tradition continues and isn't spoilt by those that continue to disregard rules .

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.
