Phillip Island Penguins Tour
Phillip Island
Penguins Tour
Join Oceania Tours and Safaris on a small group tour of the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island. A vehicle will pick you up from your hotel to begin a full day Phillip Island Tour. Arrive at Nobbies to view spectacular coastal scenery and two rocky outcrops abundant in marine life. From the walkways it may be possible to catch a glimpse of Australia’s largest population of fur seals living amongst the coastline. During the summer months (November to March) you will have the opportunity to visit Cowes for a stroll along the main road, the pier or have dinner (at own expense). Arrive at the Penguin Parade Visitors Centre and learn about the little penguins and life on this island. Just before dusk, watch as the Little Penguins battle the surf and make their way to their dune burrows from a separate viewing platform. Boardwalk Rangers are on hand to provide interpretation of the world’s smallest penguins and their fascinating lives. During winter months (April to October) dinner can be purchased at the cafeteria (at own expense). Tour concludes at approximately 9.30pm (April to October) and 11.30pm (November to March) at which time hotel drop offs will begin.

* Penguin Plus, includes entrance to a separate viewing platform to one side of the beach, limited to 300 people.
* Ranger-Guided Tour via headset. Binoculars included.
