Sunset at Summerland Beach has drawn millions of visitors to Phillip Island. It is the nightly ritual of these little flightless birds which will enthrall you as you observe from the beach and the elevated boardwalk. Koalas - totally Australian - peering down from the gum trees where they live. Fat and furry, wet noses and a gentle smile of contented living on Phillip Island. Seals near the sea, basking in the late sunlight on halftide rocks compliment this island, rich in wildlife which makes Phillip Island a very special place.

 

Includes: Entrance to Penguin Parade, meeting wallabies and kangaroos, on-coach videos and Koala Conservation Centre

[Our meals] were very pleasant and good service at the Ibis Hotel.
