From here it is a short drive to Phillip Island where you’ll stop at Panny's Chocolate Factory to sample some of their chocolate goodness, take in the spectacular views of Cape Woolamai and Woolamai Beach. You’ll also see the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit and the ancient remains of volcanos known as The Nobbies. It's then time to travel along the coastline spotting wallabies in the wild on the way to the Phillip Island Penguin Parade. Here settle yourself into the little penguin’s environment as you watch them come ashore for the night, waddling next to and underneath the boardwalks.
