Phillip Island Golden Hour Penguin Tour with Island Pickup

62 Reviews

5 hours

Overview

This small-group evening tour is a straightforward way to see Phillip Island’s Little Penguins without sorting out transport yourself. You’ll be picked up from accommodation on Phillip Island or in San Remo, then head out with a local guide for a golden-hour loop that includes coastal scenery, wildlife spotting opportunities and General Viewing entry to the Penguin Parade. It’s aimed at travellers already staying on the island, not day-trippers coming from Melbourne.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

If you’re already based on Phillip Island, this keeps the evening easy. Pickup and return are included, Penguin Parade entry is sorted, and the small-group setup means less faffing around than trying to piece together taxis, parking or multiple stops yourself. It’s not a budget-basement option, but for a short stay it covers the headline wildlife experience and a few extra island sights in one go.

What to expect

After pickup from your Phillip Island or San Remo accommodation, you’ll travel by midi coach in a group of up to 15. The tour includes time at the Nobbies for a scenic boardwalk during golden hour, with chances to spot local wildlife such as wallabies, echidnas, seabirds, Cape Barren geese and fur seals. There’s also a stop around Cowes to look around the beachside village, shops and coastal streets. After the Nobbies, complimentary sparkling wine is served on board before heading to the Penguin Parade for General Viewing, where you’ll watch the Little Penguins come ashore at sunset. At the end of the evening, you’ll be dropped back at your accommodation.
