Phillip Island - Get Closer to Nature
Phillip Island - nature island - situated in Western Port, is a place of natural beauty, sandy beaches, tranquil wetlands and unique wildlife experiences.
 
The Penguin Parade experience is sure to be the highlight of your visit. As the sun fades in the sky, the little Penguins waddle up the beach to the safety of their homes in the sand dunes. Witness this magical procession – it is a treat never forgotten.
Stroll along the Nobbies boardwalk to view the majestic rugged south coast and blowhole. See the Southern Hemisphere's second largest fur seal colony. Seal tours with Wildlife Coast Cruises are available on the luxurious 19mtr catamaran "The Kasey Lee", or the Ocean Rafting Adventure. The Nobbies Centre is Australia’s newest marine attraction.

Towering gums at the Koala Conservation Centre and woodlands of the Oswin Roberts Reserve provide a safe home for the island’s koala population.
