- Itinerary -
Depart from Melbourne/Boxhill by private bus. First, head to the Brighton Beach Bathing Boxes. The row of colorful huts on the beach is a popular photo spot. None of the rainbow huts have repeated patterns and the colors are very bright. You don’t have to worry about not being able to take good photos, the only thing you have to worry about is that your memory is not enough! Then head to Maru Zoo (own expense). Don’t be fooled by this small zoo, you can find all the famous native animals of Australia in it! Next, we will head to Phillip Island (commonly known as Penguin Island) and have dinner in Cowes, which has a population of only 6,000 people. After dinner, we will stroll along the wooden boardwalk beside the bay at Nobbys Point to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the bay and various flocks of seabirds. Finally, watch the famous blue penguins returning to their nests. Penguin Island has an annual limit of 500,000 visitors. You can witness with your own eyes the cute penguins swimming back to the shore from the sea and then walking back home waddlingly!
- Attractions -
- There are more than 80 colorful rainbow huts on Brighton Beach. The main purpose of the rainbow huts is to rent them out to local people as storage rooms or changing rooms. Each hut has a unique design style. In addition to being beautiful, it also makes it easy for each owner to recognize his own cabin. Also because of its beautiful appearance, it has become a popular check-in spot for tourists to appreciate and take photos.
- Maru Koala and Animal Park (at your own expense): There are many Australian species in the park. You can see the small animals up close, buy kangaroo feed to feed them, and it is okay to gently touch and take pictures. There are several wonderful animal performances every day depending on the schedule on the signboard.
- Penguin Island (Penguin Parade) Watch the penguins return to their nests. There is a large little penguin habitat here, with the world's smallest fairy penguins, which are about 30 to 40 cm tall and weigh only about 1 kg. After the sun goes down, they swim back to the shore from the sea and walk back to their nests in a swaying line. This magnificent migration is called the Penguin Parade.
