Itinerary reference

• Flexible departure time: Depart in the afternoon to avoid the hassle of waking up early

Depart from the fixed meeting point in Melbourne between 13:45 and 14:45 (time varies depending on seasonal penguin parade schedules), direct to Phillip Island, eliminating the hassle of transfers

• Afternoon exploration: Seal rocks and Nobbies center

Stroll along the wooden boardwalk and admire the magnificent sea views of the Mornington Peninsula from Phillip Island's westernmost point. Quietly observe the little penguins hiding beneath the walkway—they peek out from their burrows, waiting for their partners to return at dusk.

• Evening highlight: Penguin parade

Arrive at the viewing beach before sunset to witness the adorable scene of hundreds of little penguins waddling across the sand to return to their dune burrows. You'll see: penguin partners "kissing" upon reunion, their unique waddling dance, and their endearing queue to enter the burrows

• Return arrangement: Night return to Melbourne

Seasonal itinerary return time to the meeting point in Melbourne city: 9:00 PM to 12:00 AM

Stand comparison
