We had James who was extremely knowledgeable, full of information and gave us a good laugh. It was such a nice day & really enjoyed every moment. Didn't once feel rushed on the tour, felt like there was plenty of time at each spot and really got to know all about Melbourne, Penguins and the good that the sanctuary does. Highly recommend

We had a great time on this excursion. Our guide, Tom, was fantastic at pointing out and stopping so we could see wildlife during our drive. We were able to see many swamp wallabies and even an echidna in the wild. HUGE moment for me! Tom was also fantastic in giving us tips on where to sit and how to best see the penguins to have the best experience! Tip: even though it was HOT the entire day, once we got to the sites for seeing the penguins it was windy and chilly so be sure to bring a jacket to stay warm enough while waiting and viewing the penguins!

Depart from Melbourne for a day tour of Philip Island and head to Brighton Beach, where the vibrant beach huts are a must-see

Fun fact: Penguins at Philip Island are called “fairy penguins”. They just weigh 1kg making them the smallest penguin species in the world.

This epic adventure to Phillip Island will acquaint you with some of Australia's most iconic wildlife as you spend your day in the company of penguins, koalas, and more. Once you board the coach, head to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park on the Mornington Peninsula, before heading to Phillip Island for the Penguin Parade.
