Phillip Island Penguin Parade Dagstur med Koalas från Melbourne
Beskrivning
Börja din eftermiddag på bästa möjliga sätt med ett besök i Phillip Island Koala Conservation Reserve, där upphöjda strandpromenader slingrar sig genom inhemska buskmarker vilket ger dig chansen att se koalor som vilar i trädtopparna. Härifrån kan du upptäcka Phillip Islands naturliga skönhet när du tar in oländiga kustlinjer, orörda stränder och vidsträckt havsutsikt. Besök The Nobbies, där dramatiskt klipplandskap möter böljande vågor, och håll utkik efter pingvinhålor och australiska pälssälar till havs. När solnedgången närmar sig, förbered dig på sötma överbelastning på den världsberömda Penguin Parade. Hem till över 32 000 små pingviner, denna oförglömliga naturupplevelse ser hundra-ibland tusentals-av världens minsta pingviner dyka upp från surfingen och vada upp på stranden till sina hålor. Se detta spektakel utvecklas på Summerland Beach och utforska det interaktiva besökscentret för att lära dig om pingvinbevarande innan du återvänder till Melbourne med minnen som varar livet ut.

Vårt vilda äventyr börjar vid Phillip Island Koala Conservation Reserve, det perfekta första stoppet för djurälskare.

När du utforskar, håll ögonen öppna efter koalor inbäddade i träden – dessa ikoniska pungdjur är ett måste!
Säsongsbetonat sommarstopp vid Cape Woolamai Surf Beach, där extra dagsljus ger tid att utforska denna dramatiska vulkaniska kustlinje. Njut av en uppfriskande strandpromenad, andas in havsluften och ta in vidsträckta vyer mot Pyramidklippan i fjärran.
Denna uppslukande upplevelse låter dig inte bara få kontakt med dessa bedårande djur utan stöder också lokala ekonomier. Du kan köpa mat och förfriskningar i Cowes eller på Penguin Parade, eftersom måltider inte tillhandahålls under turen.
Phillip Island är känd för sin fantastiska naturskönhet, med oländiga klippor, orörda stränder och olika ekosystem. Vår resa tar oss till Nobbies, som ligger i den västra änden av ön. Här kan du beundra den majestätiska klippiga kusten och den dramatiska havsutsikten, samtidigt som du lär dig om den unika floran och faunan som bebor detta område.
Bevittna det magiska ögonblicket när världens minsta pingviner, kända som Little Penguins, dyker upp ur vågorna för att vada i land. Denna förtrollande scen, fylld med naturens mjuka ljud och synen av dessa bedårande varelser, kommer garanterat att lämna ett bestående Exponering.

This was such a fun experience. The penguins were so cute and our tour guide Craig was the best, and so knowledgable. He was able to answer all of my questions. I enjoyed the bus ride, we spotted kangaroos, wallaby’s, Phalangeridae, camels, and so many birds, not to mention the koala, and penguins. We saw great views, surfers and got tons of memorable photos. Highly recommend this tour! The bus had wifi and usb charger ports under the seat, and we were able to eat and snack during the ride which was a bonus!

Was a perfect sunny, warm weather day to enjoy the trip which was made all that much better by all of the great cultural insights and trip tips given by our fantastic guide Fiona. She’s probably presented all the information a million times before but still was able to do it all again with the enthusiasm and spirit of sharing it as if it was the first time which it was for everyone onboard…much better than someone sounding robotic and just going through the motions. Fiona also did a great job of organizing everyone to stay on time so all of the itinerary stops were fitted in with a comfortable relaxed manner. At the end of the trip we were left with many memories of the koalas, penguins, wallabies, puggle, and fantastic landscape and water views experienced. And most importantly, Fiona got us all home safe and sound and left us all with a very relaxed, trouble free experience.

Fiona’s organization and ability to keep everyone on schedule in a relaxed manner seem to have contributed greatly to the smooth flow of the trip. It’s wonderful that you left with lasting memories of koalas, penguins, wallabies, puggles, and stunning landscapes and water views. Most importantly, we’re glad Fiona ensured everyone’s safety and provided a trouble-free, relaxed experience. Thank you for your kind words, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures!
We enjoyed the bus trip, but unfortunately was very disappointed with the Penguin viewing. Lucky to see 20
Thank you for joining our Phillip Island tour! We’re glad you enjoyed the journey, though we understand it can be disappointing when fewer penguins appear. Nature can be unpredictable, but we’re happy you still had the chance to see them. We hope your next visit brings even more penguin magic!
Our guide Fiona was very organised, professional, friendly and full of knowledge. Thank you Fiona for making this trip exceptional, you are a great guide. We started boarded the bus by the Immigration Museum which is so easy to find. It is quite a drive to Phillip Island but well worth it. The coach was comfortable and had free wfi. Fiona explained things on the way (unless we were on the motorway then she couldn't speak). We spent 1 hr at the Koala Conservation area. Plenty of Koalas Wallabies to see. We made a stop at Cape Woolamai Beach, gorgeous, spectactular views. Stopped off at Cowes for 1 hr for lunch, plenty of cafe's, restaurants. The Nobbies Centre is really good. Walking on the boardwalks to see the little penguins under them. Different viewing decks. After that we set off to get in position for the penguin parade. The best viewing areas are sitting on the beach. You can only use cameras until it gets dark then no cameras are allowed but you always have those who don't listen! Taking advice from Fiona, after seeing a few penguins coming up the beach head off back towards the exit, stay left on the boardwalk and you will get a great, close up view of the penguins waddling up to their burrows. It gets really busy in that area. Fantastic day out, thank you Fiona for being so organised and sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear Fiona made your trip exceptional with her organization, professionalism, friendliness, and knowledge.

We’ll be sure to pass along your appreciation to Fiona. Thank you for choosing us for your adventure-we look forward to hosting you again soon!

Please make note that Wildlife Tours Australia and Autopia are the same company when meeting to get on the bus. I was waiting there for about 20 minutes while everyone was getting on their tour buses and I asked 2 other operators if the Wildlife Tours bus was coming and they said it should be and to just wait there. Another family also booked the same tour/company and was waiting. It wasn’t until the tour guide for Autopia started naming off our names and told us to get on those buses. Unfortunately that meant I was the last one on the bus in the back row and I get motion sickness. Sadly no one would trade with me though. Thankfully I brought snacks and water, motion sickness patches and Dramamine. I would advise the company to be more clearer for the meet up! Since I was one of the first people waiting, I could have not been in the back of the bus. This tour was great and Phillips Island was beautiful. There weren’t too many penguins sadly. I think I would have preferred a small group of 10 rather than 39 people on one big bus. We couldn’t even hear the tour guide in the back of the bus either.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed beautiful Phillip Island despite the challenges. We appreciate your feedback on clearer meet-up details and group size, and will use it to improve. We hope to welcome you again for more memorable adventures!
I wasted my 12 hours for this tour! Such a long drive and saw only less than 10 Penguins. We waited too long on the Grand stand and it wasn’t even a parade of Penguins….so frustrating. One good thing, we had a very knowledgeable Tour Guide. The Italian restaurant was really good plus the Aldi nearby for some snacks.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations and that the long drive and penguin sightings were disappointing. We understand how frustrating it can be to wait for something that doesn’t quite happen as hoped, especially after such a lengthy journey. We're glad to hear that you appreciated our knowledgeable tour guide and enjoyed the Italian restaurant and nearby shopping for snacks. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll use it to improve our tours and ensure a more fulfilling experience for all our guests. Thank you again for your honest review, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.
Weather can be unpredictable! Be prepared with layers. The parade of penguins was less than spectacular. Since this was an end of summer event we had to wait until it was dark to watch the penguins appear. Many hundreds of people, maybe a few hundred penguins scattered along the beach. Koala sightings was were earlier in the trip. Weather rainy & cold, tour company can’t control that, we saw several Koalas. Dinner stop was in town of Cowes. Not too many choices since the town appears to close by 6:pm. Our tour guide was nice however her microphone wasn’t working properly & often what she was saying was hard to understand what she was saying. Still giving it four stars because it was an interesting adventure!
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're glad you found the adventure interesting and appreciate your understanding of the weather conditions and their impact on the penguin parade. It's great to hear you managed to see some koalas earlier in the trip, despite the rainy and cold weather. We apologize for the microphone issue with your guide and will pass this along to improve future tours. Your insights help us enhance the experience for all guests. We appreciate your four-star review and hope to provide even better experiences on your next adventure!
A great day out from Melbourne. Late return, to work with the timing to see the penguins after sun set.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you had a great day trip from Melbourne. It sounds like the late return worked perfectly for you to enjoy the penguins after sunset. We hope the timing added to the magic of the experience. If you have any more feedback or need assistance planning your next adventure, feel free to reach out. Safe travels and enjoy your future trips!
We had a great trip with a lovely and very informative guide. She definitely seemed local. The little hick-ups we had on the trip, which means we can't give 5 stars, definitely due to the pickup. We were there 1⁄2 hour before departure, and there arrived 2 buses with large green letters Atopia. We asked if we were going with them, but we were referred to wait. There were no other suppliers so we asked 3 times, but was rejected. When departure time had passed, we were contacted by Wildlife Tours, who wanted to know if we were about to arrive. We said the bus had not arrived yet, but it turned out to be one of those buses from Atopia that had rejected us several times. It also meant that we got the worst seats in the entire bus, despite the fact that we had been there for a long time. It would be a good idea if Wildlife tours were on the bus. The other thing was that there was too short time set off for the spec.pingvines and dinner. Good idea to start earlier and switch on some of the different stops.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We're delighted to hear you had a fantastic trip and appreciated your guide's knowledge and local insight. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the pick-up situation. Your comments about the bus arrival, seating, and communication are very valuable, and we'll work on improving coordination with our partners to ensure a smoother experience for future guests. Regarding the timing for the penguins and dinner, we appreciate your suggestions to start earlier and adjust stops. Your input helps us enhance our itineraries to provide a more enjoyable and balanced experience. Thank you again for your constructive feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better on your next adventure!
