Phillip Island Penguin Parade

MelbourneWildlife4–7 hours

Overview

Each evening at Phillip Island, the world's smallest penguins ride the surf ashore and waddle up the beach to their burrows, exactly as they have for generations. From tiered boardwalks and viewing stands you watch this wild nightly homecoming unfold in the dusk. It is gentle, genuinely wild and quietly magical.
