A tour for those with limited time

Penguins Direct will take you directly to Phillip Island Nature Park and the Penguin Parade. It's ideal for people who wish to keep their day free for other tours or activities. Pass by the National Tennis Centre, Entertainment Centre and Olympic venues and follow the Yarra River to the eastern suburbs. Skirt Western Port and at the fishing village of San Remo, we'll cross onto Phillip Island, home for one of the largest colonies of Little Penguins.

Penguin Parade

Witness the world phenomenon of the Penguin Parade. Each evening at Summerland Beach the Little Penguins return from the sea and make their way to their burrows. Watch as they cross the beach and walk under the elevated boardwalk. Inspect the multi-million dollar Visitor Centre and learn of the life of the Little Penguins.

(Please bring warm waterproof clothing as nights can be cold on the island in any season).

This tour departs from Melbourne Day Tour Centre, Federation Square East, corner Flinders & Russell Streets, Melbourne or your CBD hotel. In some instances, we may need to pick up from a nearby hotel if we cannot pick up directly from your accommodation due to restrictions beyond our control.
