Get to know Victoria's local wildlife on our Phillip Island Penguin Tour.
Get to know Victoria's local wildlife on our Phillip Island Penguin Tour.
Join us for a day on Phillip Island getting to know Victoria’s local wildlife. Phillip Island Penguin Parade Tour highlights a range of local wildlife such as penguins, dingoes, koalas, echidnas, cassowaries and many kangaroos.
Our first stop is the San Remo fishing village just before we enter into Phillip Island. Grab a refreshment or take a bathroom break. Then we’ll make our way onto Phillip Island and visit the Maru Koala and Animal Park where you’ll see your first sightings of Australian wildlife. Then we’ll explore the local village named Cowes. Visit shops, enjoy refreshments (own cost) and feel the sand between your toes on the local beach. Then onto a more rugged scene at the Nobbies. Walk the boardwalk and take in the gorgeous ocean views.
Finally, you’ll get the chance to see the world’s smallest penguins returning to their nests after a day of fishing at sea. Enjoy these fascinating creatures as they waddle up the shore after a hard day of work as the sun sets. The penguins will complete our adventure-filled day and lead us back to Melbourne at about 11:30 PM (summer) and 9 PM (winter).
Pick up:
Please be ready 5 minutes prior to your pickup time. Pickup starts 45 minutes prior to departure time. You will see our bus with our logo Around and About' on the side. Your pick-up details will be on your confirmation email.
Drop-offs:
We ONLY drop off in Melbourne City.
We try to get you as close as possible to your original pickup but sometimes traffic does not allow for this. Melbourne does have a very good tram service that is free within the city area which could be the fastest way to get to your accommodation.

Do I need to print my booking confirmation?
Usually no. A digital copy on your phone is
accepted, but check your operator’s requirements in the booking confirmation.
Can I make a group booking?
Yes, you can make a group booking. Deal tickets are limited, so
larger groups may need to combine discounted tickets with standard-price seats.

How do I know if my booking is refundable?

sets their own refund and cancellation policy, which is listed in your confirmation details.

What makes BookMe different from other booking sites?
BookMe is different because deals are
uploaded directly by local operators, not resellers. This means genuine discounts straight from the source.
Do I need an account to book?

Walter was great
The tour and the guide (Walter) were just great. A long day, but more than worth it.
