Wildlife viewing
Witness the wonder of Phillip Island's little penguins on parade, watch seals fishing from the rocks and spy koalas dozing in the treetops.
Penguins plus
Make the pilgrimage to the Penguin Parade, a Phillip Island institution, and witness little penguins as they emerge from the sea and waddle across the beach to their sand dune burrows. The Penguin Parade Visitor Centre at Phillip Island Nature Park has a range of great activities and displays to help understand these icons of the island.
Join a wildlife cruise to see the colony of 16,000 Australian fur seals at Seal Rocks, and spot koalas as you wander among the treetops at the Koala Conservation Centre. Watch the annual shearwater migration from rugged bluffs at Cape Woolamai, or count the wading birds in the wetlands at Rhyll Inlet.
Little rangers
Watch the kids squeal with delight as they hand-feed wallabies and kangaroos at the local wildlife park or catch the excitement of the midday pelican feeding at San Remo jetty.
Greet mutton birds on their journey from Alaska, see rare wading birds and lunch alongside pelicans during your Phillip Island stay.
