Discover the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island

Visit Phillip Island Nature Parks for the unforgettable experience of observing the world's smallest penguins as they waddle ashore at dusk. With your Penguin Parade entry ticket, you will join visitors from across Australia and beyond to witness these remarkable seabirds up close, set against the natural beauty and wildlife of this protected environment.

Penguin Viewing Experiences

Your ticket lets you select between two popular vantage points. The General Viewing area gives you a classic, panoramic perspective where you can watch dozens of penguins cross the sand together as they head back to their nests. For a more intimate encounter, choose Penguins Plus, which has limited capacity and a viewing area right beside the penguin pathway for unparalleled close-up sightings.

Wildlife Encounters Beyond Penguins

The parade is not just about the penguins. As you stroll the boardwalks and paths, look for native animals such as swamp wallabies, cape barren geese and the rare eastern barred bandicoot. The coastal landscape and wetlands are alive at dusk, offering a richer understanding of local conservation efforts.

Support Conservation

Every ticket purchase directly aids the work of Nature Parks rangers, supporting habitat restoration, species monitoring and protection projects. The funds help ensure that both the penguins and their habitats are safeguarded for future generations of visitors and wildlife alike.
