Experience something so completely Australian - something incredibly unique in the world.
Every evening at dusk, the Little Penguins come home from the sea around Phillip Island. Across the beach, from the waves to the sand dunes, the Little Penguins can almost be touched as they waddle to their burrows.
Sunset at Summerland Beach has drawn millions of visitors to Phillip Island. It is the nightly ritual of these little flightless birds which will enthrall you as you observe from the beach and the exclusive, elevated, boardwalk of the Penguins Plus premium viewing area.
Koalas, also totally Australian, peer down from the gum trees where they live. Fat and furry, with wet noses and a gentle smile, these creatures are completely content living on Phillip Island.
