Tour Highlights

Your day begins with a visit to the Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, where you'll meet the who's who of Australian animals during an exclusive keeper-led experience. Hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies, pet a koala, walk with dingos, feed furry little sugar gliders, and encounter many more Australian animals.

Stroll the boardwalks around The Nobbies, taking in coastal views from lookout points set among natural seabird gardens. Be captivated by the thundering blowhole, and keep an eye out for a daytime sighting of the Little Penguins. As the sun begins to set, continue along the Summerland Peninsula toward the Penguin Parade visitor center. Travel off-road along the rugged island coastline to spot wild wallabies and Cape Barren geese grazing at dusk.

Before the Little Penguins arrive, enjoy an informative journey through the penguin colony. Then, take your seat, away from the crowds, in a beachfront viewing stand that offers superb views of the penguins as they emerge from the water and cross the beach.

Dinner will be served in the popular seaside village of Cowes at a favorite local restaurant, featuring a palette-pleasing menu that showcases the freshest seasonal produce from the island and its surroundings.
