What to expect

This afternoon tour to Phillip Island is perfect for those short on time but eager to witness one of Australia’s most iconic wildlife experiences. Travel in comfort with a friendly local guide as you journey through scenic coastal landscapes toward the island.

Your first stop is The Nobbies, where you’ll walk along dramatic cliffside boardwalks and enjoy breathtaking ocean views. Look out to Seal Rocks—you might spot playful fur seals lounging in the sun or swimming just offshore.

As the sun begins to set, the highlight of your day awaits: the Penguin Parade. Watch in awe as hundreds of little penguins waddle ashore after a day at sea, making their way back to their burrows in one of nature’s most charming displays.

After the parade, you’ll be returned to your original meeting point—refreshed, inspired, and delighted.

It was amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Bree, was so lovely and very informative about the history of Australia, all of the wildlife and plants, and of course the penguins. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the breathtaking beaches of Philip Island and the cute little penguins – you will see so many of them!
