Experience wildlife and heritage at Phillip Island’s most iconic attractions

Spend a memorable day at Phillip Island, where nature, wildlife, and history come together for an unforgettable experience. With access to three of the island’s top attractions—Penguin Parade, Koala Conservation Reserve, and Churchill Island—this adventure is perfect for families, nature lovers, and curious explorers alike.

Stroll among sleepy koalas in the treetops

Begin your journey at the Koala Conservation Reserve, where treetop boardwalks wind through native bushland. As you walk through the eucalyptus trees, you'll come face-to-face with koalas dozing in the branches, completely undisturbed in their tranquil environment. The reserve also offers a chance to spot wallabies and vibrant native birds while learning about the ongoing conservation efforts to protect these iconic marsupials.

Step back in time on Churchill Island

Next, explore the historic charm of Churchill Island. With its 19th-century cottages, heritage gardens, and working farm, the island invites you to experience a slower pace of life. Observe daily farming demonstrations like cow milking and sheep shearing, or simply take in the peaceful scenery along the walking trails overlooking the coast.

Watch nature’s nightly show at the Penguin Parade

As evening sets in, make your way to Phillip Island Nature Park for the world-famous Penguin Parade. From the general viewing platform, you’ll witness hundreds of little penguins emerging from the ocean and waddling across the beach to their burrows. Follow their journey along the boardwalks and spend time at the visitor centre, where interactive exhibits offer deeper insight into the life of these fascinating creatures.

Upgrade to Penguins Plus for a closer view

For a more intimate and exclusive encounter, upgrade to the Penguins Plus viewing platform. Positioned along the highest-traffic penguin pathway and designed to blend into the natural landscape, this limited-capacity deck offers unbeatable views just steps from the action.

Stay warm with the underground viewing experience

Prefer a close-up view with shelter from the elements? Choose the underground viewing upgrade, where large glass panels offer eye-level views of the penguins as they pass within inches of you. This weatherproof, climate-controlled platform delivers one of the most immersive wildlife experiences on the island.

Whether you're watching koalas nap in the trees, standing among historic farmhouses, or witnessing penguins return home at sunset, this journey through Phillip Island brings together the best of Australia's wildlife and cultural heritage.
