The penguins were cute and we got great views of them, particularly on the boardwalk. Koala conservation had some close up koalas to photograph which was great. Churchill island was very enjoyable and informative. The three park pass is great value

All three experiences were amazing! We loved Phillip Island. *also, just to let you know, you sent us the wrong address for the Koala Centre. It took us to a wildlife sanctuary that wasn't included in the package. We had to ask someone else for the address.

Churchill island Farm sits on a breathtaking piece of land with gorgeous views! Loved the animals and reading about the history. The Koala Conservation Reserve gave us a chance to see koalas, wallabies and an echidna up close. Just fantastic! At the Penguin Parade, we held our breath waiting for the penguins to return to their babies. We were situated in front of the device that weighs and scans the penguins upon their return to land. It was fascinating! And we also visited the Nobbies along the way. Phillip Island is a definite must see! ❤️

I felt Churchhill Island was brilliant. So much to see of our history. Little disappointed with the penguins only saw 20 penguins and told no photos. A long way to travel from Brisbane. I felt the lights that were up were bright and more frightening for them. Koala ? Thank you Christina

Just 90 minutes from Melbourne, discover Victoria's wildlife haven with this all-in-one pass! Witness penguins, koalas, seals, and wallabies in their natural habitats across 3 parks.

March of the Penguins

Philip Island is home to the world's largest penguin colony. Watch the amazing seabirds waddle home to their burrows from the ocean from viewing platforms and boardwalks. Maybe you'll even get a wave from a friendly penguin!

Koala kingdom

Stroll about tree-top boardwalks to watch koalas in their natural habitat. Walk through the woodlands and notice a multitude of birds, wallabies, and echidnas. With a variety of family-friendly activities in store for you, this is a great way to explore the lush native bushland and admire Australian wildlife in its natural element.

Island exploration

Wide-open spaces and ample fresh air let you wander Churchill Island in utter peace. Historical grounds and farming activities make up most of the island. Hike or bike along the beautiful bay trails, stopping to admire the wildlife from the bird-watching huts or unwind on one of the many relaxing decks. Feeling peckish? Grab a cup of coffee at one of the cafés. Want to go all in? Try your hand at blacksmithing, cow milking, sheep shearing, whip cracking, and more.
