Phillip Island Penguin Parade Tour

Phillip Island is internationally known as the home of the Philip Island penguin parade, but there’s so much more to this island refuge than penguins. This wildlife haven is located just 90 minutes drive from Melbourne and is home to some of Australia’s most fascinating creatures and sights. To visit Victoria and miss out on this gem of an attraction would be a real travesty!
Philip Island is home to dozens of attractions and destinations including:

  • The Phillip Island penguin parade- This award-winning nocturnal parade is Australia’s largest natural wildlife attraction. People from all over the world come to see the show every night as the Little Penguins return from the sea at sunset to their home in the sand dunes at Summerland Beach. Visitors are able to view this amazing site on elevated boardwalks or through private tours that allow for even closer access, all without disturbing the penguins or their natural habitats.
  • The Koala Conservation Centre- Experience and enjoy  koalas in their natural habitat at the Koala Conservation Centre. You can see them up close and personal and get a not often seen glimpse of how they live in their natural surroundings. The Koala Conservation Centre is also home to other Phillip Island wildlife and birds too.
  • Churchill Island Heritage Farm- This working island farm allows guests to travel back into a time when man and nature were more closely linked. You can interact with farm animals like horses, peacocks, chickens, ducks, sheep, and cattle. After petting the animals you can visit Grant’s monument or enjoy some shopping at the local shop.
  • Nobbies Centre-This marine centre is part of the Phillip Island Nature Park and provides visitors with an insight into the world of sharks, seals, and dolphins through their state of the art displays and cameras. You can also walk along the boardwalk and take in the scenic coastline.


Other attractions on Phillip Island, Victoria include A Maze’N Things, the Phillip Island Chocolate Factory, the National Vietnam Veterans Museum and the Philip Island Grand Prix Circuit.
