Phillip Island Penguin Small Group Eco Tour from Melbourne

Description:

• Observe and interact with Australian wildlife on this Phillip Island Penguin tour from Melbourne. Visit a boutique winery or chocolate factory, enjoy a picnic lunch and watch the fairy pengiuns at dusk waddling up the beach into their burrows in the sand dunes.
  
  First stop is the Gurdies boutique winery for wine tasting or followed by a guided tour of a fauna park, home to a range of native species including kangaroos, koalas, wallabies and even tasmanian devils.
  
  The final stop is on Phillip Island itself with a chance to visit Cape Woolamai Surf Beach and appreciate the spectacular coastline. Panoramic views include the Nobbies, a group of rugged rocks rising from the sea abundant in marine life and Seal Rocks, the home of Australia's largest fur seals population.
  
  At dusk every evening the world's smallest penguins waddle ashore after spending the day fishing out at sea. Be truly enchanted as the stars of the show emerge from the surf and pass right before your eyes. To make this experience even more unforgettable, upgrade to either the Penguin Plus or the Ultimate Penguin Experience with optional scenic helicopter flights. See below for more details.
