Overview

Phillip Island hosts more than just its world-famous Penguin Parade, it is home to an impressive array of wildlife (koalas, wallabies & various birdlife), rugged coastline, stunning vistas and sandy beaches.
Your time on Phillip Island will see you visit one of its beaches, walk amongst the treetops of the Koala Conversation Centre with a bird’s eye view of Australia’s most loved marsupial, wander the clifftop boardwalk taking in the wild, rugged coastline, before travelling to the Penguin Parade spotting various wildlife.
Taking your seats at the parade, you will thrilled to see so many penguins waddle up the beach to their burrows right alongside the boardwalk and viewing points, merely a hands length away from you.
Dinner can be included in Cowes, Phillip Island’s main township.
Throughout the day, your guide will share the history, adventures & stories of Phillip Island, adding those unique touches that Your Exclusive Tours pride themselves on including with every experience.
