Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! Booking through Headout was quick, easy and hassle free, with our tickets delivered instantly and able to just scan at the doors at all attractions. The Penguin Parade was truly unforgettable seeing so many of little penguins waddling ashore at sunset, such a magical and heartwarming experience for our whole family. The facilities were well organised, staff were friendly and everything ran smoothly. This is a must do when visiting Phillip Island we’ll definitely be recommending both the Penguin Parade and Headout to friends and family.

We loved our visit to all 3 places,Churchill Island was greats for kids to watch farm animals, Koala reserve had very few koalas 🐨 but it was lovely to see them in their own safe zone , and last but not the lease penguin 🐧 parade , winters was not the best seasson to watch it as we could hardly witness 4-5 baby penguins. I am not sure about summers thought but it was a well spent day with family. I would love to this again n again n again. 😍

The entry process was incredibly smooth thanks to the friendly and well-organized tour guides. The start of the experience felt completely stress-free. The boardwalks and coastal views were stunning. Watching the penguins return to shore was a truly memorable experience and adorable to watch. Unfortunately, it started lightly raining just as they began emerging from the water, which made it a little less comfortable. Another downside was that some visitors moved around to get a better view, occasionally blocking the view of others despite the viewing guidelines. Overall, it was still a wonderful and unique wildlife experience, and I would definitely recommend visiting.

It's my second time of visiting Philip Island and I will always love to bring back my friends and family for the wild life parks and Penguins. Penguin Parade is the highlight of the tour.

Purchasing a ticket for all 3 parks reduced so much hassle and it was an easy experience for the staff as well. All the parks were well maintained, beautiful and the staffs are a joy to speak with at all checkpoints. The staffs at the Penguin Parade seating area were kind, patient and handled the crowd fantastically. To all guests, please be mindful to follow the rules set out in place at each of the parks as it's there for a reason. It's also a hindrance to the experience of other guests if you're not going to cooperate. Thank you and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. (No pictures included for the Penguin Parade as we're rule abiding citizens.)

Experience wildlife and heritage at Phillip Island’s most iconic attractions

Spend a memorable day at Phillip Island, where nature, wildlife, and history come together for an unforgettable experience. With access to three of the island’s top attractions—Penguin Parade, Koala Conservation Reserve, and Churchill Island—this adventure is perfect for families, nature lovers, and curious explorers alike.

Stroll among sleepy koalas in the treetops

Begin your journey at the Koala Conservation Reserve, where treetop boardwalks wind through native bushland. As you walk through the eucalyptus trees, you'll come face-to-face with koalas dozing in the branches, completely undisturbed in their tranquil environment. The reserve also offers a chance to spot wallabies and vibrant native birds while learning about the ongoing conservation efforts to protect these iconic marsupials.

Step back in time on Churchill Island

Next, explore the historic charm of Churchill Island. With its 19th-century cottages, heritage gardens, and working farm, the island invites you to experience a slower pace of life. Observe daily farming demonstrations like cow milking and sheep shearing, or simply take in the peaceful scenery along the walking trails overlooking the coast.

Watch nature’s nightly show at the Penguin Parade

As evening sets in, make your way to Phillip Island Nature Park for the world-famous Penguin Parade. From the general viewing platform, you’ll witness hundreds of little penguins emerging from the ocean and waddling across the beach to their burrows.
