This unforgettable tour invites you to get up close to unique Australian wildlife while enjoying the breathtaking coastal scenery, culminating in this remarkable natural spectacle. The adventure begins at the Philip Island Koala Convention Reserve, the perfect first stop for animal lovers. Here, you'll have the chance to stroll along picturesque boardwalk trails that weave through lush natural woodlands. As you explore, keep your eyes peeled for koalas nestled in the trees - these iconic marsupials are a must see! This immersive experience not only allows you to connect with these adorable animals but also support local economies. You can purchase food and refreshments in Cowes or at the Penguin Parade, as meals are not provided during the tour. Philip Island is known for its stunning natural beauty, featuring rugged cliffs, pristine beaches, and diverse ecosystems. This journey will take us to the Nobbies, located at the western end of the island. Here, you can admire the majestic rocky coastline and dramatic sea views, all while learning about the unique flora and fauna that inhabit this area. Keep an eye out for the Australian fur seal colony basking on the rocks, and you might even spot wild wallabies and variety of native birds during your back road journey to the main event at the Penguin Parade. The Penguin Parade Visitor Center at Summerland Beach is one of the world's most fascinating ecotourism attractions. Upon arrival, you'll have the opportunity to delve into the world of penguins and wildlife conservation through engaging and informative displays. As the sun begins to set, the excitement builds as you prepare for the main event. Witness the magical moment when the world's tiniest penguins, known as Little Penguins, emerge from the waves to waddles ashore. This enchanting scene, filled with the soft sound of nature and the sight of these adorable creatures, is sure to leave a lasting impression. Watching these little penguins make their way home after a day at sea is a heartwarming experience you won't soon forget!~~~~
