Award-winning Wildlife Park, 15:00-15:45

We first travel to an award-winning wildlife park where we spend some time getting to know the many famous Australian animals - mammals, reptiles and birds! We even have an opportunity to feed our favourite kangaroos.
Phillip Island Chocolate Factory, 16:00-16:30
-
Next, we continue on to the much-loved Phillip Island Chocolate Factory to satisfy our sweet tooths :). There are over a 190 different treats made on-site by Panny and his family and we are even able to sample some of these delicious choccies.
Surf Beach or Nobbies, 16:30-17:30
-
Phillip Island is not only home to the famous little penguins but also some of Victoria's best surf beaches. We take some time to catch a wave or three!
**If time allows, we also visit The Nobbies, a key site for Australia's largest Australian fur-seal colony. There are spectacular boardwalks on the cliffs that you can walk which offer views of Seal Rocks and Round Island.
Dinner, 17:00-18:30
-
We will take you to a restaurant where you can enjoy exquisite dishes such as lamb, salmon, burgers or fish and chips!
* Dinner is at own expense (AS20-A$35).
** Whether we stop for dinner depends on the season and the time the penguins will be returning.
Arrival at Penguin Parade Visitor Center and Penguin Parade, Winter: 18:00-19:00, Summer: 20:00-21:00
-
We arrive at the new Penguin Parade Visitor Center and get ready to watch the little penguins! Our guides will provide tips on how best to see the penguins for the night and hand out your tickets.
-
Depending on the season, we may have some time to explore the cinema, educational building, souvenir shop, cafes and restaurants.
-
Then, the magic begins! From your seats, prepare to watch the little penguins leave the safety of the beaches in their 'rafts' and return to their burrows for the night. The sight of them waddling up the paths, some travelling up to 2kms to get back home, is sure to pull a heart string!
