Itinerary
Departing Melbourne around midday, your journey begins with a visit to the city's most colourful attraction – the iconic Brighton Beach bathing boxes. Enjoy time to visit the beach and capture memorable photos of these historic landmarks.
Continue through Melbourne's bayside suburbs to the Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park. Here, you'll enjoy a guided wildlife walk and have the chance to meet and hand-feed a variety of native Australian animals. Learn about iconic species such as kangaroos, koalas, emus, and wallabies, as well as some lesser-known favourites like quolls, owls, bandicoots, and Tasmanian devils.
Enjoy the spectacular "Conservation in Action" wildlife show, featuring engaging ranger presentations showcasing lesser-known Australian species.
Next, visit Point Grant and The Nobbies on Phillip Island to take in stunning views over Westernport Bay and Bass Strait, including Seal Rocks, home to Australia's largest population of fur seals. Stroll along the coastal boardwalks and soak in the incredible scenery.
Finally, experience the main event: the world-famous Phillip Island Penguin Parade. Just after dark, watch as the smallest penguins in the world waddle ashore after a day of fishing. Your guide will ensure you have the best vantage point to witness this enchanting event.
After the parade, spend time exploring the visitor centre before beginning the return journey to Melbourne. With drop-off at your inner-city accommodation, this day will be a memorable highlight of your Australian holiday.
