Tour Description

Begin your day by stepping back in time on the memorable journey of the historic Puffing Billy Steam Train. Marvel at the lush tree ferns and towering mountain ash trees as you travel along the mountain track that winds through the heart of the delightful Sherbrooke Forest.

Next, travel on to the multi-award winning Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park to enjoy a guided wildlife walk. Learn about iconic Australian animals such as koalas, emus, wombats & Tasmanian devils, as well has taking the opportunity to meet and hand-feed many species of kangaroos and wallabies.

Arriving on Phillip Island & we’ll visit Point Grant from where you can take in spectacular panoramic views of The Nobbies & Seal Rocks while strolling the coastal boardwalks.

Then it’s on to the days final destination of the famous Penguin Parade, where just after sunset every night the world’s smallest penguins waddle ashore before your very eyes. Watch is awe as the cute little blue penguins make their way across the beach back to their homes further up the sand dunes.
