Meet Australia’s most iconic marsupials at the Koala Conservation Reserve

Enjoy a peaceful and educational day immersed in native bushland at the Koala Conservation Reserve on Phillip Island. With your entry ticket, you’ll stroll along treetop boardwalks and come face-to-face with koalas in their natural habitat. Surrounded by towering eucalyptus trees, the reserve offers a unique opportunity to observe these sleepy creatures eating, resting, and interacting with their environment.

Explore the natural bushland trails

In addition to close-up koala encounters, the reserve is home to other native wildlife, including wallabies, echidnas, and bird species. The accessible trails, informative visitor centre, and ranger-led talks deepen your understanding of koala biology and ongoing conservation efforts.
