Heldags Phillip Island-tur med kænguru-, koala- og pingvinparade
Beskrivelse
Hver nat ved solnedgang finder det virkelig utrolige skuespil af Penguin Parade sted på strandene på Phillip Island. Den lokale koloni af små pingviner dukker op af vandet for at finde vej til hulerne i klitterne - og denne tur er din chance for at se dette uforglemmelige fænomen i det virkelige liv! Vi vil bruge dagen på at udforske topattraktioner, herunder Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park og Nobbies, før vi sætter os til rette i sandet, klar til hovedshowet ved Penguin Parade. Inklusiv alle indgangsgebyrer er denne stor værdi tur den bedste måde at opdage det vilde kystlandskab og dejlige dyr på Phillip Island.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Moonlit Sanctuary er hjemsted for stakke af velkendte australske dyr, herunder kænguruer, wombats og tasmanske djævle, plus mange mindre kendte arter som f.eks. spot-tailed quoll, gulbuget svævefly og langnæset potoroo.
Beliggende ved bunden af Cape Woolamai, er Woolamia Beach en af Victorias smukkeste og mest barske strande. Med enorm surf og et blødt gyldent sand skal enhver tur til Phillip Island inkludere et stop her.
Cowes ligger på den nordlige spids af Phillip Island er og er øens mest befolkede by. Det tilbyder en landsbystemning fuld af restauranter og barer. Cowes Beach og Jetty tilbyder en storslået udsigt over det blide vand i Western Port Bay tilbage til Mornington-halvøen.
Gå en tur på Nobbies board walk for at få udsigt over de fantastiske vulkanske klippeformationer. Tjek sælklippen, som er hjemsted for den største koloni af australske pelssæler. Hold øjnene åbne for mere australsk dyreliv, herunder Swamp Wallabies og endda pingviner.
Når solen begynder at sænke sig, går vi til Summerland Beach klar til hovedbegivenheden. Når solen er gået ned, vil de små pingviner føle sig trygge nok til at komme op af vandet i små grupper og bane sig vej over stranden. Gå en tur langs strandpromenadene for at gå sammen med disse yndige fugle, mens de vralter tilbage til deres reder med maverne fulde fra en dag ude på havets fiskeri.

An interesting and varied day. I loved the wildlife park, which is beautifully laid out in full of fascinating animals. Little penguin experience was great, particularly seeing them making their way to their burrows on the hill. John, our driver and Guide, was knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful.
Craig was a wonderful host, very informative. A lovely day excursion, would recommend. Good food options too
They did it again! My other two trips with Sightseeing tours were so I can back for another one down to see there penguins and we had another bus full of very happy people from all over the world sharing their experiences. I got to pat a kangaroo, talk to a cockatoo, rub body fur with a koala, feed an emu, and that's just at the wildlife sanctuary for morning tea. Once we explored the island and learnt all its secrets the locals probably don't know, we made our way over to the penguins put on a performance that you can understand why people come from all over the world to see it, including locals like me lol. Our driver Craig was a hoot and kept us laughing thru the day and told us stories of how the drivers have people waving to them driving by as they all look so happy in their snazzy upbeat Aussie buses. I'm from tropical Queensland so to see this sort of energy during the winter just brightened everyone up and you can why they get noticed so much. I've been here for 40 years and I truly feel like my new friends I met today will remember the fun we had shattering today's adventure together long down the track when most people forget. And that's something very special I haven't seen before. So 10 out of 10 guys and if this every gets back to the owners, hang onto these drivers as they are seriously talented and I am much inspired, cheers!!!!
Lovely full 12 houur day tour. Cape Woolanai was beautiful. Penguins are so cute
The best part was the guide who gave 100x100. If I had to make any criticism, the vehicle was old and not entirely comfortable for such a long tour.
Such a great experience. Loved the penguin parade.
The tour was really nice. We got picked up at 10:30 and got back around 9:10pm because it was winter season here. We first drove to Moonlit Sanctuary and saw some animals. We were lucky to see many animals out and about moving. Then we went to Woolamai Beach and took some photos before making our way to Cowes for a meal break. Next, we went to Nobbies (note there are no restrooms there) and then finally to the Penguin Parade. Note that the number of penguins seen cannot be controlled by the tour so it was already nice enough to see some penguins walk uphill on our tour. When you get your tickets scanned, bear right and keep walking to the general viewing area. You can upgrade your seats at your own costs but we didn’t. When you get to the seating area, sit at the furthest right side as the penguins will bear left upon making ashore on the beach. Also note that you cannot take photos nor videos nor stand up while in the viewing area and staff will be monitoring around. This is because of the blue light in the flash that will frighten and disorient them. Some people will try to sneak a few photos but wil be kindly reminded to put them away. After 10-15 minutes viewing, you will need to make your way back to the boardwalk to walk then walk uphill. There you can have better chances to take photos and videos but remember, NO FLASH! It was nice as we got around 2 hours at that place but one hour was used to sit and wait for them to come ashore. Nonetheless, we saw some penguins walk uphill and then we got on the bus and it was about 2 hours (due to traffic) before we got dropped off at our different pick up locations. The tour said it was max about 30 people but we ended up having only 16 people which was nice. Everyone was punctual and we did everything on the package. The tour guide didn’t really engage much with us nor introduce himself but everything was self-explanatory and he got us to where we needed to go so that was good enough. Overall, good tour, smooth ride. Definitely need to dress warm if you come during winter season meaning nice thick jacket, scarf, hat and waterproof shoes due to sudden showers and maybe umbrella if it’s not too windy.

This was a really good day trip and well worth the money. As a solo traveller with mobility issues I often struggle making my own way to tourist attractions, so I find guided tours the best way to experience as much as possible whilst travelling. The first stop was Moonlit Sanctuary - this is a lovely place, where you can see koala and hand-feed kangaroos and wallaby’s (if they are hungry). There are a few stops before the highlight of penguin parade to allow you to take in the stunning scenery. Our tour guide Jono, was both knowledgeable and humorous and made the coach journey enjoyable and entertaining. Obviously the penguin parade was the best bit…but this does involve a fair bit of walking (probably not by most people’s standards - but as someone who uses a walking aid, I feel this is worth mentioning) All photos and video recording of penguin parade is now prohibited, due to people not listening to the guidelines about no flash/lights as it disorientates the penguins migration path. However, so many selfish people refuse to abide by this rule. The is a lot of pushing and shoving to get good views of the penguins on their waddle up the hill. This was a little intimidating - but there were plenty of workers trying to manage the crowds. Overall it’s a great day…but it’s so over-sold! There are 1000s of people at penguin parade in the evening, and I hadn’t expected it to be quite so busy.
Too much rush. Stop at uninteresting places where you rush around for refreshments and toilets. Ok we had terrible weather, col rain and wind, but it was dark before we saw a single penguine. We saw 10 in total for an 11hour trip. Operator....can do better. Think about it.
