Watch one of the world's most unique natural wildlife migrations in absolute style. Every evening at sunset, hundreds of wild Little Penguins arrive from the ocean, shaking off the surf and waddling across Summerland Beach to their dune burrows.

Your private tour begins with a relaxing afternoon drive out of Melbourne, stopping at historic Churchill Island Heritage Farm and the sweeping panoramic clifftops of the Nobbies.
