The 15 Best Phillip Island Penguin Parade Tours

15 reviewed

Little penguins come ashore at Summerland Beach every evening at dusk, all year round, and the island fills up to watch it. These are the trips that get you there: which add koalas and kangaroos on the way down, which upgrade the viewing platform, what each costs, and how late the coach gets back into Melbourne.
