    Native to Australia and the smallest of their species, these Little Penguins have called the shores of Phillip Island their home for thousands of years. As the sun sinks below the island, you can glimpse tiny bobbing heads waddling their way back home for the night. Surrounded by national parks full of native species and verdant scenery, one can enjoy this spectacle amidst a stunning environment. Probably the cutest invasion ever witnessed, this is a parade that will send a shiver of excitement down your spine!

    The main penguin viewing area provides a 180-degree elevated platform to the coast. Nestled right along the sandy shore, this promises a front-row experience. Get even closer to the action at the Penguins Plus viewing platform which includes insightful commentary from a ranger. For the ultimate penguin watching experience, upgrade to the Underground Viewing option. With seats limited to 70 people, this is an up-close and personal experience that will bring you eye-level with the penguins. With a professional guide narrating the history, daily life, and exciting facts about the cute creatures, this will be a more fulfilling affair!
