Little Penguins at Phillip Island - the world's smallest penguin species

About this activity

Begin at Phillip Island Winery with guided tastings of six premium wines paired with a regional grazing platter, followed by a gourmet feast of woodfired pizzas, salads, and fries.

Explore The Nobbies' dramatic coastline on scenic boardwalks during golden hour, spotting wild wallabies, seabirds, and Australian fur seals. Toast the spectacular sunset with sparkling wine before heading to the evening's highlight.

Witness the magical Penguin Parade where thousands of Little Penguins—the world's smallest penguin species—emerge from Bass Strait and waddle to their burrows each evening.
