Went here with a day tour from Melbourne and I reaaally loved it. It’s such a beautiful walk and I would have loved to spend more time here. It was very windy so dress warm. A definite must see.Full review by jerneja98
I’m going to spend a weekend in Melbourne and would like to visit the Nobbies Centre, which day will be better to visit to avoid traffic and crowd, Saturday or Sunday?

The weekends would be the most busy of the week. You are best to go as early as possible to the centre to avoid the daily tourist buses. Grand Prix motor racing on this weekend so don't even go - traffic to get on and off the island will be horrendous
I only have one day and would like to visit your Centre, the Koala Conservation and the Penguin Parade. Any recommendations as to what time of day for each and how long a visit to each would be appreciated. ,e

The penguin parade is an evening activity as they don’t come ashore until dusk, around 830pm. The koala place is ok but if you want real interaction with some of Australia’s animals visit the Phillip Island wildlife park. It’s only 19 AUD per adult which includes a bag of food for the residents. You can see koalas, snakes, wombats, owls, dingos, cassowary and many more. The wallabies hop freely around the park and will feed from your hand. There’s also a huge paddock containing emus and kangaroos which you can wander around at your leisurely whilst feeding the animals. Fantastic, definitely worth a visit.
We tend to go late morning or early afternoon to avoid the traffic headed for the Penguin Parade towards dusk. The scenery is spectacular so every time of Day has its own reward. …
We tend to go late morning or early afternoon to avoid the traffic headed for the Penguin Parade towards dusk. The scenery is spectacular so every time of Day has its own reward. There really is no bad time to visit the Nobbies.
Where is the best place to go to see Penguins w/o a tour? Thank you!!!

Hello guys, I am a bit confused about the answers I see here. I'm flying to Australia next week and not exactly sure about the time I will visit the Philip Island, but on their website it seems like the tickets are limited and should be booked in advance. Do I really need to do this? Or can I just drive to the island and walk around and if needed buy ticket on the spot? Thanks!
