Jump on board a tour to Phillip Island and get up close and personal with an array of Aussie wildlife! Check out the awesome coastline of Phillip Island and then witness one of Australia’s most spectacular wildlife experiences as hundreds of the world’s smallest penguins waddle ashore. You’ll also get to hand-feed kangaroos, get up close to koalas and spot Fur Seals on the rugged rocky coastline of the Victorian Island
We escape the concrete jungle of Melbourne and begin our day at a wildlife park where you will have the pleasure of meeting some furry Australian favourites. We will also stop here and have lunch (own expense).
We move on to tour the length of Phillip Island, known for its sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and unique wildlife experiences. Be awed by the giant surf at Woolamai beach and the rugged coastline of Cape Woolamai as we stop to enjoy some afternoon tea in Cowes. During the summer months, we take this opportunity to cool off with a visit to the beach.
At the Western tip of the island there is a majestic rocky coast, home to a colony of fur seals. We wander along the boardwalk checking penguin burrows for life and then we're on to the penguin parade. Check out the award-winning Visitors Centre and as the sun drops, witness the world`s littlest penguins emerge from the sea and waddle ashore. This is a truly magical experience.

Penguins were also seen around the boardwalks near the Antarctic exhibit and you could take a picture of them nesting. This is not at the Penguin Parade where photos are prohibited to keep the penguins from getting scared.

Wenn das Wetter schön ist bestimmt eine tolle Tour
Leider hatten wir Pech und es regnete fast die ganze Tour, so dass wir nur im Ansatz einen Eindruck von der wunderschönen Landschaft der Philip Island gewinnen konnten- weshalb wir die Tour hauptsächlich buchten.Im Wildlifepark kam man den Kängurus ganz nah.Was die Pinguinparade betrifft bin ich etwas zwiegespalten.Wenn man bedenkt das jeden Abend hunderte von Touristen- die Pinguine stören- finde ich es im nach hinein nicht so toll diese Tour gebucht zu haben.Ich hatte eine andere Vorstellung von der Beobachtung um die Tiere besser zu schützen.Mein Fazit - lieber Pinguine im Zoo anschauen und die Pinguine in Ruhe lassen. Der Bus war etwas unbequem und nicht besonders sauber. Der Guide war ok und versuchte das beste aus der Wetterlage zu machen.

Toller Ausflug mit viel Wildlife
Wir haben die Tour ursprünglich gemacht, da wir Koalas sehen wollten. Die zahlreichen Wallabys und die Pinguine waren aber wirklich toll. Die Tour war sehr gut organisiert.
