A Phillip Island private tour journey is one packed full of stunning coastal walks, Australian wildlife encounters and the world famous Phillip Island Penguin Parade. Your journey follows the rolling farmlands which open up to the stunning Gippsland region. Once we cross the bridge to Phillip Island we make a visit to the protected Koala Conservation Centre and walk the treetop boardwalks alongside koalas living in their natural habitat. There will be chances to see baby koalas being carried by their mothers (seasonal) and Rangers on hand to give their insight into the Centre’s role in the protection of Australia’s most adorable creature.

We continue our journey to rugged coastline and breathtaking scenery of The Nobbies. The photography here is outstanding and you’ll be taken to the most scenic points on the boardwalks for some thrilling views. The area is also a breeding ground for Ocean Gulls, countless wild Wallabies and of course penguins. (you may even get a sighting of one before we reach the Penguin Parade)

We take an incredible coastal road to arrive at the evening highlight- The Penguin Parade. There are few wildlife attractions in Australia that are as moving as the Penguin Parade. Every night, 30 minutes after the sun drops below the horizon, the world’s smallest penguins return from a full day of fishing and return to their burrows via the natural dunes.

Private tour of Phillip Island

Spent the day with Simon exploring beautiful Brighton Beach and Phillip Island. We were able to visit the Koala Conservation Centre on Phillip Island for viewing koalas and wallabies, then onto the Penguin Parade which was amazing. Such a wonderful experience. Simon was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, and we enjoyed great conversation. Highly recommend!!

Magical Fairy Penguins

What an experience - something to remember forever! We booked with Simon for a private trip to Phillips Island to see the fairy penguin parade. Shane was a safe, informative driver, the vehicle was clean and comfortable. He was extremely attentive to our comfort and needs. He took the time to stop and spot animals to show us as much widlife as possible. We walked through a koala refuge and he helped us spot them in the trees. We got great at spotting active fairy penguin burrows by the poop leading up to them! Sean spent the time to share his knowledge of these amazing birds and by the time we had our ranger led tour - we were nearly experts. The ritual of the nightly trek is fascinating and something not to be missed! We could not have been more pleased with The Private Tour Guide and Shane. Thanks for a truly memorable day.
