[Melbourne] Waiting for the little penguins to line up and go home. Wild penguins return home and it's super healing - Phillip Island

The most popular activity on Phillip Island is to go to Penguin Parade to watch the super cute penguins returning to their nests. The location is relatively suburban and public transportation is relatively inconvenient. It is about a 2-hour drive from downtown Melbourne. Phillip Island is the largest penguin sanctuary in the world. There are currently tens of thousands of penguins living on Phillip Island. The sanctuary will have a sign to let you know how many penguins came ashore yesterday, the time they came ashore, and the expected time to come ashore today. The penguin parade has different prices depending on the viewing location. The daily limit on the number of people is also different. All this information can be confirmed in advance on the official website. Then you can arrange your itinerary according to your budget and the time you come ashore! The staff on site will introduce some background information about the penguin sanctuary. They will also remind you not to take photos to avoid disturbing these wild and cute penguins. In addition to the penguins returning to their nests, there are also many beautiful beaches on the island where you can watch the sea and play in the water. You may want to walk around the island before waiting for the penguins to come ashore. Many places are super beautiful and super good for taking photos. It is highly recommended that you arrange a whole day to leisurely stroll here and watch the wonderful sight of penguins returning to their nests!
