Be Part Of The Penguin Parade
Penguins? In Australia? Yes, we were just as confused! Who else thought penguins would only live in Antartica?

Let the fantastic tour guides pick you up and take you over to Philip Island, where you will watch the tiny penguins scurry into their burrows as the sun begins to set. No need to go to the zoo, learn all about these cute creatures as you watch them in their natural habitat.
Cuddle a Koala in Kuranda
Australia’s iconic fluffy teddy bear love to cuddle, and if you book onto a Kuranda Nature tour in your Pelikin App, then soon, they could be cuddling you. Everyone loves Koalas, which is why it makes us so sad that they are becoming extinct. At the Kuranda Nature Reserve in Cairns they help protect the Koalas and get the funding by allowing people like yourself to take a trip and have a cuddle.
At the Kuranda Nature Reserve you’ll also be able to hand feed kangaroo’s and walk through the butterfly sanctuary, a true wholesome nature experience.
