No Phillip Island holiday is complete without a visit to the Phillip Island Penguin Parade, Australia’s most popular natural wildlife attraction and winner of the Victorian Tourism Awards for Ecotourism. 

 Visit the world famous Penguin Parade on dusk and experience the penguins returning home for the evening as they emerge from the sea and waddle ashore to their sand dune burrows. This is a truly memorable natural wildlife experience.

There are multiple options here from the General Viewing stand, to the Penguins Plus option with a smaller viewing stand and aranger explaining everything you might need to know, to a Private Evening tour hike to a beach to experience the penguins up close with night vision glasses.

The Nobbies Centre is named after its location- The Nobbies is the black, basalt headland formation at the end of the Summerland Peninsula, just three kilometres down the road from the Phillip Island Penguin Parade.

Arguably Victroia's best kep secret, the veiws from the Centre and boardwalks are breathtaking. Stroll along the boardwalks to the spectacular blowhole and watch for seals and dolphins frolicking in the water below. From the end of the walkways, you gain spectacular views along the entire south coast of Phillip Island and beyond.

Explore and discover the secrets of the incredible southern marine environment including seals, sharks and dolphins via interactive displays and cameras that allow you to zoom in and out on these marine creatures.

Entry is free to The Nobbies Centre, Australia’s newest marine attraction.

Please note: The Nobbies Centre and Nobbies area is closed prior to sunset each day to protect the native wildlife.
