Itinerary
Daily departure times are not fixed and will be adjusted based on the time the penguins come ashore that day.

Morning: Puffing Billy Steam Train
Take a century-old retro steam train, weaving through dense forests, and experience an immersive slow journey through the woods. The scenery along the way is fresh and natural, and passing vehicles and pedestrians will wave friendly. You can also take photos with staff.

Optional Activity: Maru Koala and Animal Park (self-funded)
Park admission is AUD 30 per person and is optional. In the park, you can feed kangaroos up close, take photos with koalas, and observe various unique Australian native animals up close. It's fun and loved by both adults and children.

Evening: Nobbies Centre
Head to the Nobbies Center coast to await the beautiful coastal sunset, stroll along the seaside boardwalk, and admire the magnificent coastal scenery. The natural ecology is excellent, and wild seals often rest and play in the rocky areas. Encounter wild coastal creatures and enjoy a leisurely time by the sea.

Night: Phillip Island Penguin Parade
The highlight of the trip is waiting at the viewing platform for the little penguins to return to their nests in groups. As the seasons change, the penguins' landing times vary. We will flexibly adjust the overall departure time and the duration of stay at each attraction in advance, based on the official penguin parade time for the day, to ensure you can witness the adorable scene of little penguins waddling back to their nests in groups and experience this iconic Australian natural wonder.
