    Highlights
      What to Expect
      During your tour, come face to face with Australia’s most iconic marsupial at the Koala Conservation Centre. Explore the tree-top boardwalks to glimpse koalas in the natural habitat and wander the extensive trails through Australian bushland, home to many animals including wallabies, echidnas and bats.

      Next make your way to the Nobbies Centre to see the wonders of the southern waters and walk the coastal boardwalks to catch a glimpse of the world’s second largest Australian Fur Seal Colony at Seal Rocks.

      Then comes the real highlight. Every evening at sunset the Little Penguins come out of the surf and return to Summerland Beach. They waddle up to their burrows, just as their ancestors have done for thousands of generations, meandering straight past eager visitors who wait in anticipation for the night’s performance. Watch this miracle unfold in front of you from an exclusive raised platform away from the crowds with the Penguins Plus Experience and see these unique creatures return to their nests in the sand dunes.

      Highlights:
      • The spectacle of the nightly Penguin migration
      • View koalas up close
      • The Nobbies Centre
      • A memorable dinner featuring local island produce

      Last Hoorah - Perfect day!
      I am so glad we did this! My only regret is I wish we would've used them more!!!! The driver & our other guide were not only insightful & made the day run smoothly, they were so friendly, fun, & catered to us. We had such a fun time (adults /teens/small kids in this group)…

      Best Day on Phillip Island
      The day excursion we took from Melbourne to Phillip Island was outstanding in many ways. There were four of us all from the U.K. and one from the U.S. As soon as I met our guide, Katie, in front of the hotel I knew it would be a great time. She is professional and personable…
