Private Phillip Island Wildlife Experience

This private Phillip Island trip is a full-day option for travellers who want wildlife and coastal scenery without joining a larger group. Across the day, you’ll visit a beach, head through the treetops at the Koala Conservation Centre, check out the island’s rugged clifftop coastline, and finish at the Penguin Parade. It’s a higher-priced, more personalised experience, with a guide sharing local history and stories along the way. All fees and taxes are included, and dinner in Cowes can be included.

The day typically starts with time at one of Phillip Island’s beaches before moving on to the Koala Conservation Centre, where elevated boardwalks give you a better view of koalas in the trees. From there, you’ll visit a clifftop boardwalk to take in the island’s wild coastal scenery and look out for more wildlife. Later, you’ll head to the Penguin Parade and take your seats for the evening arrival, watching little penguins come ashore and make their way to their burrows near the viewing areas. Throughout the trip, your guide adds background on the island and its wildlife. The experience is wheelchair accessible, and it’s also suitable for travellers with prams or strollers.
