Experience the charm of Australian wildlife firsthand at the Koala Conservation Reserve and enjoy treetop koala viewing.

Highlights

  • Getting up close with koalas in their natural habitat – that's an experience you'll only get at the Koala Conservation Reserve at Philip Island.

  • Stroll along the two treetop boardwalks and amidst the woodland as you keep a lookout for wallabies, echidnas, and colorful native birds.

  • The star attraction: the Phillip Island Penguin Parade! Just after dark, hundreds of the world's smallest penguins waddle ashore after a day of fishing at sea.

  • Upgrade your ticket to include a Penguins Plus or Underground Viewing Experience and enjoy the Penguin Parade from an exclusive observing area.

  • Fun fact: Koalas nap for up to 20 hours daily, conserving energy due to their low-nutrition eucalyptus diet. Watch them snooze when you visit!

Inclusions

  • Access to the Koala Conservation Centre

  • Penguin Parade viewing

  • Penguin plus viewing (optional)

  • Underground viewing (optional)

Cancellation policy

You can cancel these tickets up to 7 days before the experience begins and get a full refund.

Stunning views ar Churchill Island and House. Activities for young and old! Lovely to see the Old Amess House. Koala Sanctury just amazing for us tourists ( UK) who dont get to see Koala'a. We were very close and able to see them clearly as well as bird life and Wallabies! Penguin Parade- just so much excitement and anticipation and it paid off- 770 Penguins around our night. So wonderful to see them come in from the shore and waddle to their 'beds' for the night.

It was easy to book the tickets. Got to the Penguins in plenty of time. Was a great experience. Food in both cafes were lovely and there was plenty of choice in the souvenir shops

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It was a moment out of time, as the koalas and their habitat invite us in; a feeling certainly shared by the visitors present at the same time as us, as we passed them in silence and this respect was so unusual....

Immersive australian wildlife experience

Experience the magic of the Australian bush at the Koala Conservation Reserve on Phillip Island as you immerse yourself in the natural habitat of Australia's beloved koalas. Start your adventure by strolling along the treetop boardwalks, where you’ll come face-to-face with these adorable creatures going about their daily routine of eating and sleeping. As you meander through the bushland, keep an eye and ear out for other native wildlife. You might catch a glimpse of wallabies hopping about or echidnas shuffling through the undergrowth. And don't miss the melodious chorus of colorful native birds, their cheerful birdsong echoing through the trees.

Learn and contribute to wildlife conservation

Post your stroll, head over to the visitor center to indulge in interactive displays and learn interesting facts about the lives of koalas. The reserve isn't just about viewing wildlife, but also protecting it. By visiting the Koala Conservation Reserve, you're contributing to the protection of these animals and their habitat, truly making this visit a fulfilling one. Before you leave, participate in a small but significant environmental activity: Plant a seed at the Seed Station to take home, a wonderful souvenir, and a personal contribution to nature and wildlife.
