Overview

In just one extraordinary day, experience two of Victoria’s top wildlife attractions: the Nobbies and Seal Rocks, with one of Australia's largest colony of fur seals; and the nightly Penguin Parade, where little penguins pop out of the water and waddle across the beach to their burrows.

At the Nobbies and Seal Rocks, the clifftop boardwalk opens up breathtaking views of Phillip Island’s wild south coast, and there are further lookout points among natural sea bird gardens which have spectacular flowering displays in spring.

Then witness Victoria’s largest colony of little penguins in the nightly Penguin Parade. As dusk falls, hundreds of little penguins splash out of the water onto the beach, making their way to their burrows. They feed at sea and return to their burrows to mate, care for their young and to moult.

Fantastic day and evening. Driver and guide "Bluey" Tom was so informative. Was great seeing the wallabies and penguins up close. Would recommend

Tour guide Bluey was excellent. Penguin experience was good fun. Wear warm clothes, something to sit on beach and depending on penguins you may see many or just a few. Binnoculars would be a good idea too.
