You don't want to miss a chance to witness Australia's beautiful wildlife in their natural habitat on your next trip to Melbourne. When you take the Grand Penguins and Seals Tour, you will have the rare opportunity to view seals, penguins, and cuddly koalas in their natural surroundings. Your tour begins with a Wildlife Coast Cruise's Seal Watching Cruise, where you will see thousands of fur seals enjoying a swim off the coastline, drifting in Bass Strait, or lounging in the sun on the shore. This is a great chance to see wild seals up close. Afterwards, the tour will stop at the Koala Conservation Centre, where you can see Australia's beloved koalas perched high in their natural habitat of eucalyptus trees as you walk along the conservatory's boardwalk.
As the sun begins to sink below the horizon, you will then visit the Penguin Parade on Summerland Beach. Each evening hundreds of penguins return to the beach for the night after a day at sea. You can walk along the beach and get almost close enough to the penguins to touch them, or enjoy the grandeur of this daily migration from the boardwalk. This is one tour you don't want to miss on your next trip to Melbourne.
