Description

Attend an extraordinary parade during which humans get to observe and admire the animal kingdom in all its splendour!

On your way, you will stop at the Brighton Beach to admire the colorful beach bathing boxes and the historic landmarks. Your will then continue in the direction of the Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, a place where you can get a closer look at Australia's wildlife including koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, emus and Tasmanian devils. A specialist will be on hand to tell you all about the animals and you'll also get the chance to feed them.

You will al so attend a ranger-led Koala Presentation while at Moonlit Sanctuary.

You will then head to "Point Grant" and "The Nobbies" to enjoy a superb view of Westernport, and also observe the largest population of Australian seals!

Then comes the magical part of the day... Sitting by the beach or on a convenient platform, you will watch the parade of the wild penguins returning from a day of feeding at sea. See them pass by in front of you for an unforgettable moment of nature in all its glory! In addition, take advantage of the 'Penguin Plus' comfort option to observe the penguins in a more intimate setting.

Once the parade has finished, you will be driven back to your hotel in Melbourne.
