Get up close to Australia’s most iconic animals in a natural bushland setting. At Moonlit Sanctuary, you can hand-feed kangaroos, meet friendly koalas, and spot wombats, dingoes, and colourful birds. Perfect for families and wildlife lovers, this award-winning park offers an unforgettable chance to connect with native creatures just outside Melbourne.
Discover breathtaking coastal views at The Nobbies, where rugged cliffs meet the Southern Ocean. Stroll the scenic boardwalks to spot seals, seabirds, and sometimes even whales. Don’t miss the dramatic blowhole and the Nobbies rock formations—it's nature at its wildest and most beautiful on Phillip Island’s western tip.
Experience one of Australia’s most magical wildlife encounters at the Penguin Parade Visitor Centre. As the sun sets, watch hundreds of little penguins waddle ashore to their burrows after a day at sea. The award-winning centre features interactive exhibits, a café, and eco-friendly viewing options, making it perfect for visitors of all ages.

This tour exceeded all my expectations. I was looking forward to the Penguin Parade, but was thrilled to also experience kangaroos, wallabies, emus, wombats, koalas and more at the Moonlit Sanctuary. Ben was an awesome guide- very experienced and very knowledgeable about the area, including the plants and animals. He is excellent at spotting wallabies in the wild! I learned a lot about the wide variety of birds on the island as well and was thrilled to see pelicans up close. He spotted penguins resting in their burrows at the Nobbies, which made that experience even more special. Of course the Penguin Parade was the highlight of the tour and Ben had great recommendations of where to position ourselves for a great experience. This was a once in a lifetime experience for me and I recommend it highly to anyone wanting a very special memory of Phillip Island.
What a amazing trip . Ben collected us on time and we managed to get some extra experiences in the trip . We learnt so much about the areas we were taken too , Bens knowledge was so extensive. A must to go with this company and great suggestion on the better place to view the penguins . So pleased i used this company as i feel i would have missed so much . Thankyou Ben for a memorable trip
Ben was an amazing host for this amazing tour. We got to see so much and since it became a private tour we were able to do so much tailored to us! We love birds so we went on a Philip island birding search - and we all loved it. The sanctuary was terrific, the penguins adorable and plentiful, and the company was lovely. Thanks Ben - for making it so special. Just a magical day!
We had a brilliant time exploring Phillip Island with Ben. He is a super friendly guide who made the entire day enjoyable with a smooth drive and excellent communication leading up to the trip. Ben shared a lot of really useful information about the island and its wildlife. Our stops at Woolamai Beach and the Nobbies were beautiful, perfectly leading up to the incredible Penguin Parade. He also knows the area very well and gave us some fantastic restaurant recommendations along the way. Highly recommend booking with him!
We have booked a city tour with Culture Quest Tours and we enjoyed it so much that we booked a second tour of Phillip Island with these guys. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the vehicle was amazing and the tourguide knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend ths tour.
Camille worked very hard to make sure we experienced all that was available and everything we desired to see and do
Kenny (our tour guide) was personable, knowledgeable and very professional. The only hiccup was a lot of folks were at the kangaroo zoo so they weren’t as quick to eat
Really great full day tour! Ben was a great guide. I’d highly recommend this to see Phillip’s Island.
Ben was an amazing guide. It ended up being just two of us, which was perfect. He was very flexible and worked with us to make sure we got our needs met and that we saw all the highlights. The penguin parade was amazing- probably one of the best animal experiences I've had, but i loved the beach and sanctuary. I also appreciated the stories of the island and prominent people and places- Ben made sure we got the whole package! Highly recommend the tour and Culture Quest Tours!
The excursion with Ben was wonderful. We were out with him alone, since the tour was not fully booked or booked by other guests. Nevertheless, he conducted the tour. 👍 The communication and coordination went smoothly and took place very quickly. Since we were the only guests, he even picked us up from the hotel and brought us back, even though our hotel was not in the "pickup zone." The tour was in English, but we got along wonderfully with Ben and were able to communicate. Anyone looking for a relaxed tour in a small group will definitely find what they are looking for and be happy here. Ben has a lot of knowledge and was able to answer our numerous questions. It almost doesn't get more personal and individual than this. We were even asked about our musical taste in the car. An all-around successful day. Thanks Ben! Please note that photos and video recordings are not permitted at the Penguin Parade. The penguins will thank you for it. Seeing them when they come ashore is unique.
