Itinerário
Nosso autocarro partirá de Melbourne City e dirigirá para o sudeste por aproximadamente 1 hora e 45 minutos, com nossa primeira parada sendo a Reserva de Conservação do Koala na Ilha Phillip.
No Centro de Conservação do Koala, na Ilha Phillip, os hóspedes terão 45 minutos para explorar os arredores exuberantes e passear ao longo das caminhadas elevadas que passam pelas pontas das árvores. Aqui, você terá a chance de se aproximar dos koalas em seu habitat natural, observando essas criaturas icônicas enquanto descansam nas árvores de eucalipto. O pessoal experiente fornecerá insights fascinantes sobre os esforços de conservação que protegem esses animais queridos. É uma experiência pacífica e educativa, oferecendo oportunidades fantásticas de fotografia e uma chance de mergulhar na beleza da vida selvagem da Austrália.
Phillip Island possui uma população de aproximadamente 15.000 habitantes, que aumenta durante as temporadas turísticas movimentadas. Existem três assentamentos principais: Cape Woolamai, New Haven e Cowes. Nossa parada na praia de Cape Woolamai é sazonal, dependendo do clima, e é visitada principalmente durante o verão.
Durante o verão, muitas vezes reservamos tempo para passear pela cidade costeira de Cowes. Abrigado ao lado da calma Westernport Bay, este município recebeu o nome de Cowes, na Ilha de White. Belas paisagens à beira-mar, lojas exclusivas para visitar e muitos restaurantes agradáveis para comprar comida. Esta parada deve-se apenas a restrições de horário no inverno, pois há menos horas de luz do dia.
Em seguida, chegamos ao Nobbies Rocks onde você pode fazer um passeio caminhe pelos calçadões para ver a costa rochosa e aviste pinguins fazendo ninhos em suas tocas. Em seguida, viajaremos pelas estradas secundárias de Phillip Island através do Phillip Island Penguin Habitat. Desfrute de vistas incríveis das falésias costeiras a caminho do Phillip Island Penguin Parade.
A principal atração do passeio pela Ilha Phillip sempre foram os Pequenos Pinguins fazendo seu ritual diário de desfile de pinguins. Esses amiguinhos são os menores do gênero no mundo. Aproveite o pôr do sol no Centro de Informações ao Visitante e escolha o assento certo para ter uma bela vista dos principais espetáculos do dia — o Desfile dos Pinguins!
Após o desfile dos pinguins, começaremos nossa viagem de volta a Melbourne, com o tempo de retorno variando dependendo da hora de chegada dos pinguins. À medida que os pinguins voltam para suas cavernas, vamos dar tempo para desfrutar da experiência antes de voltar para casa. Observe que os horários para a viagem de um dia podem variar para maximizar a experiência do pôr do sol, particularmente de acordo com a época do ano e as economias de luz do dia.

Jo was a great guide and driver for nth trip. Absolutely loved The little penguins coming ashore in darkness amazing!! I saw lots of excited couples meeting up and mating (penguins!). Def book penguin plus in advance. Cant video / take photos so as to not upset penguins so have amazing memories of rh sight and sounds of them !!
Joe was a phenomenal guide - clear and concise, funny and educational and above all extremely kind! I would highly rate his tour - it was incredible value for money and such an enjoyable day out with lots of wildlife and sights to see!
This tour was absolutely fantastic and a true highlight of our trip to Australia! The excursion is incredibly well-organized, with all the stops perfectly structured, providing more than enough time at each location, and the guide was always available and helpful.We spent a wonderful afternoon getting close to the native wildlife, seeing koalas resting in the trees, and interacting with dozens of friendly wallabies. I highly appreciated that there were different options along the way to buy lunch. Also, the restaurant at the penguin visitor center was excellent for a hot dinner.The big finale was the Penguin Parade at sunset. It gets extremely cold and windy on the coast, but we were perfectly prepared by layering a plastic raincoat over a warm jacket, which completely blocked the freezing wind. Watching the world's smallest penguins emerge from the ocean was pure magic. We even witnessed a deeply moving moment when the park rangers rescued a little penguin with an injured leg—it was incredible to see how they care for the wildlife. A perfect 10/10 experience!
Chris “Kiwi” is an amazing guide! This is a must-do when in Melbourne. Safe driving, so knowledgeable, and saw so many animals. Definitely book this!!
The tour guide Kiwi is very passionate and helpful.
Our guide, Anthony, aka Ant-Man, was fantastic. Very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Fun day, all around.
The penguin experience was amazing. The guide was really nice and the koalas part was really surprising. All the tour was amazing. I will repeat it for sure
Great trip to Phillips Island to see koalas (@ Koala Conservation site) & Penguin Park. Pick-up spot was easy to locate and tour bus arrived on time. Hosted by Joel, the trip was informative and fun. We stopped for lunch - trying sausage rolls and several types of pies, plus fancy donuts. The Koala Conservation Center had elevated boardwalks that meandered through the canopy where we spotted 8 koalas, getting very close to several (nice photo op). tour stopped at the Nobbies at the tip of Phillip Island - windy with dramatic views of the coast line and we also spotted several penguin burrows. Last stop was the Penguin Park - dinner and boardwalk through the hills leading to the water. Penguins leave the water after sundown. Seating gave us a reasonable view, although some folks around us had trouble remembering to sit down. Walking back along the boardwalk we spotted multiple groups of penguins walking through the vegetation on the way to their burrows.
Thank you for sharing such a detailed and vivid account of your trip to Phillip Island! It sounds like a wonderful day filled with wildlife encounters, scenic views, and delicious food. I'm glad Joel made the experience informative and enjoyable, and that you had great opportunities to see koalas and penguins up close. Your description captures the essence of the adventure perfectly-thank you for recommending this tour!
Really enjoyable tour to go and see the penguins on Philip Island. Joel was our tour guide and was really informative and personable with a great mix of facts about the local area but also some time for quiet reflection/viewing the scenery. Plenty of upfront information on when and where we'd stop, the food options and facilities available, and clear notice on when to come back to the bus to head onwards. We loved the koala conservation sanctuary and seeing the Nobbies (and a few bonus penguins there!) before heading onto the penguin parade. Again, clear communication on when to come back to a lovely warm bus and back to Melbourne. Would absolutely recommend, it's been one of the highlights of our holiday.

Penguins are very cute. The natural scenery was beautiful, and seeing koalas and penguins up close was an unforgettable experience. I’d never seen them that close before.
