2 Overview
Melbourne Phillip Island Penguin Parade Ultimate Eco Tour
A trip to Phillip Island will be a day to remember and the Ultimate Eco Tour is nothing short of unforgettable.
Along the way you will meet some of Australia's favourite animals. At the first stop, Moonlit Sanctuary, enjoy a close up koala experience (optional extra at own expense), hand feed kangaroos and wallabies(optional extra at own expense), see wombats and Tassie devils. Enjoy lunch overlooking a billabong teeming with waterbirds before make tracks to the historic Churchill Island.
Down at Churchill Island take time to wander about the gardens surrounding the historic Amess House. Learn about the significance of this small island and the history of Victoria. Head over to the farm yards where you'll get to see stockwhip cracking, sheep shearing and working dogs in action (time permitting).
Next we head over to the home of the Little Penguins, Summerland Peninsula, but before we meet the stars of the show we'll take a break at the Nobbies Centre. Here you might get a sneak preview of the penguins, whilst enjoying the spectacular views over Bass Strait.
Last but certainly not least is the world famous Penguin Parade. Here you'll see hundreds of Little Penguins come ashore just after sunset, make their way across the beach and up into the sand dunes to their burrows. A natural wonder, this is something you will never forget.
