7.Hike and Penguin Parade – 8 pax Small Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 5 reviews

Spend 12 hours exploring Phillip Island with a maximum of eight people. Hike 6.8 km around Cape Woolamai, visit the Koala Reserve and Nobbies, then watch little penguins come ashore at sunset. Transport, park entry and a local meal stop are included, with an English-speaking guide.

“The cost of the trip is too high for the overall experience. It’s better to book a more economic tour and purchase upgraded tickets for Penguin Parade. The hike along Wollomai Beach is good but not great. Apart from the highly priced tour you will easily spend over 50$ on food and souvenirs. It’s best to choose a Penguin Parade tour and upgrade your ticket on the Penguin Parade website.”
