Reviews of Phillip Island Nature Parks
"Great experience and suitable for older kids who can survive long journey in the mini bus. The travelling time is about 2 hrs one way. I joined Go West tour operator for a full day tour to Philip Island and went to see a few other places before heading to Penguin Parade at the end of the destination. Penguins are coming after sunset is down or around 6pm local time. These penguins are the smallest species among the other penguins in the world. They are super cute walking around the beach and climbs to the hills to find place to rest after hunting for the foods. It was amazing experience exploring the surroundings since the views are breathtaking especially in nice cold sunny weather."
"Amazing experience, although it gets really cold. The time the penguins come up to shore varies from 5-6pm in winter till as late as 8pm in summer. No idea why no photos or videos (even without flash) is not allowed at all. Apparently photons entering a camera's CMOS sensor will hurt a penguin's eyes, but the bright lights all under the broadwalk are okay? If this is the case, Phillip Island should do more to educate all the zoologists in other countries. It is really tragic when I think of all the penguins blinded by having their photos taken in zoos worldwide..."
"A great place to relax and go for holidays! Something kids would love to see nature and those little penguins! Worth the wait staying at the penguin parade until 11:30pm!"
"Do come early to get the best seats to watch the penguins stroll in, unless you've paid to view them from underground. The place is well maintained and managed to sneak a few pictures of the penguins. Great place for kids to learn about the penguins and conservation efforts to protect them. Highly recommended."
