How much 2 day tour to Brighton Beach and Philip Island to see Maru koala animals park & penguin parade at night

Our Phillip Island Day Tour does not include the Brighton Bathing Boxes, as we head straight to Phillip Island to go to the Koala Conservation Reserve, Penguin Parade, and a few lookout points. We do not have a tour that goes to the bathing boxes unfortunately.

Are you able to accommodate 87 y on this tour? are there going to be a long walking tour?

A low level of fitness is required for our tour. Each stop is at recreational pace. Please note if they are on any walking aids, this is not permitted on our bus as we do not have storage space.

Does the price of the tour include admission to the koala reserve and penguin parade?

I can confirm this tour itinerary does indeed include admission to the Phillip Island Penguin Parade and Koala Conservations Reserve.
