Meet your driver/guide at the agreed-upon location and depart from Melbourne at around midday. Start your journey to the city’s most colourful attraction – the iconic Brighton Beach bathing boxes. Visit the beach and take some time to admire these historic landmarks.

Continue your journey through Melbourne’s bayside suburbs on the way to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park. Here, enjoy a guided wildlife walk where you will have the opportunity to meet and hand-feed many species of native Australian animals. Learn about iconic species such as kangaroos, koalas, emus & wallabies, as well as some of the lesser-known favourites including quolls, owls, bandicoots & Tasmanian devils.

Continue to Phillip Island and a visit Point Grant and the Nobbies which gives an opportunity to enjoy views over Westernport Bay and the Bass Strait, including Seal Rocks, home to Australia’s largest population of fur seals.

Move towards the main event, where just after dark every night the world’s smallest penguins waddle ashore after spending the day fishing out at sea. You will be truly enchanted as the stars of the show emerge from the surf and pass right before your eyes on their journey back to their homes. Your guide will ensure you are able to get the very best vantage point to enjoy the Penguin Parade. For an exclusive viewing experience, upgrade to the more personalised “Penguins Plus” viewing platform. With numbers limited to 300, you will enjoy special ranger interpretation in a more natural setting.

You have plenty of time after the parade to explore the Visitor Centre before beginning your journey back to Melbourne.

Drop off at your inner-city accommodation.
