- The tour will begin as we pick you up from your central Melbourne accommodation and make our way to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park. Your expert guide will show you around the wildlife park, introducing you to a range of well-known Australian critters such as koalas, kangaroos, and wombats. You will also get to discover some new species including the long-nosed potoroo or the spot-tail quoll. A knowledgeable ranger will tell you all about koalas, and you will even have the chance to take a photo with a fluffy koala (own cost) if you choose!
- After a morning spent exploring the wildlife sanctuary, we will continue the drive to Phillip Island. First, we will stop at Cape Woolamai Beach to take a stroll and watch the surfers riding the waves. We will then travel to the Nobbies, where you can stroll along the scenic boardwalks and admire the ocean views.

The adorable phenomenon is a once in a lifetime experience that you won't want to miss out on!
- After an exciting day on Phillip Island, we will make our way back to Melbourne where the journey will come to an end.

Watch the surfers in action and get some sand between your toes with a walk on the beach.Next up we travel to the Nobbies, where you can wander the coastal boardwalks and admire the craggy scenery. Look out to Seal Rocks to see if you can spot any fur seals and be amazed as the blowhole shoots seawater into the air. In winter, you might get lucky and spot whales off the coast. In summer, peek inside the small burrows to see if there are any penguin chicks waiting for their parents to return home and feed them.As the sun begins to lower, we’ll make our way to Summerland Beach ready for the main event. Once the sun has set, the little penguins will feel safe enough to emerge from the water in small groups and make their way across the beach. Take a stroll along the boardwalks to walk alongside these adorable birds as they waddle their way back to their nests with their bellies full from a day out at sea fishing.Finally, we’ll all meet back at the bus and make our return journey to Melbourne.
