Penguin Parade, Cowes

Penguin Parade, Cowes

Experience one of Australia's most popular attractions. Each night at sunset you'll be amazed by Little Penguins returning ashore after a day's fishing. 


See the world's smallest penguin in its natural habitat from viewing stands and boardwalks. Enjoy interactive and educational displays in the visitor centre and the spectacular coastal scenery from the Penguin Parade. This experience is sure to be the highlight of your visit.


As the sun fades in the sky, Little Penguins waddle up the beach to the safety of their homes in the sand dunes. Witness this magical procession - it is a treat never forgotten.


 


 

The main penguin viewing area at Summerland Beach has tiered seating and provides a 180 degree elevated viewing of the Little Penguins on parade.


 


Watching them arrive and waddle across the beach to their sand dune burrows at sunset is a magical experience for all. Visitors can also enjoy Little Penguins around their burrows from elevated timber boardwalks.

Penguins Plus Viewing Platform provides visitors with a more personalised penguin viewing experience. Limited to 150 people, the viewing platform provides a closer look of the penguins on parade. 


 


The stand is located in a ‘high penguin traffic area' with rangers on hand to provide full interpretation of the world's smallest penguins and their fascinating lives. Entry also includes a drink  voucher.

Enjoy the Penguin Parade from the comfort of an exclusive, elevated viewing tower. Located at the main viewing stand at the Penguin Parade, this option allows five people each evening to have pole position for penguin viewing. 


 


Visitors are able to interact with a ranger and assist in the penguin count, an important part in the ongoing research of the Phillip Island penguins.

If you are seeking a more personalised and intimate wildlife tour, the Ultimate Penguin Tour is for you. Designed for groups of up to 15, this fully accredited eco-tour takes visitors to a stunning, secluded beach to view Little Penguins.
