Description
Departing from Melbourne at around midday, we journey to the city’s most colourful attraction – the iconic Brighton Beach bathing boxes – for an opportunity to visit the beach and take some time to admire these historic landmarks.
We continue our journey through Melbourne’s bayside suburbs on the way to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park. Here, we will enjoy a guided wildlife walk where we have the opportunity to meet and hand-feed many species of native Australian animals. Included in our visit here is the spectacular “Conservation in Action” wildlife show, which showcases many lesser-known Australian species in a series of interactive and engaging ranger presentations.
Continuing to Phillip Island, a visit to Point Grant and The Nobbies gives us an opportunity to enjoy views over Westernport Bay and the Bass Strait, includingSeal Rocks, home to Australia’s largest population of fur seals. We will proceed for 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 that you can get the very best vantage point to enjoy the Penguin Parade.
After the parade, we allow plenty of time to explore the Visitor Centre before beginning our own journey back to Melbourne. With drop off right back to your inner city accommodation, you will remember this day as a true highlight of your Australian holiday.
