What you can expect

Experience Phillip Island your way on this flexible Melbourne day tour offering two distinct paths to Australia's most famous penguin destination before reuniting for an unforgettable finale.

Beginning at Arts Centre Melbourne with barista coffee, journey to scenic San Remo for dramatic coastlines and seasonal pelican encounters. Choose your adventure: take the Explorer Route with an exclusive hop-on hop-off bus pass, enjoying 3+ hours visiting the legendary Grand Prix Circuit (MotoGP racing), Woolamai Beach (Victoria's premier surf destination), Churchill Island Heritage Farm, Cape Woolamai cliff walks, Phillip Island Chocolate Factory, A Maze'N Things adventure park, Swan Lake wetlands, and Rhyll Inlet mangrove boardwalks.

Alternatively, embark on the Wildlife Route Seal Safari with a thrilling 2-hour coast cruise to Seal Rocks, marvelling at hundreds of Australian fur seals with guaranteed sightings. Post-cruise, explore charming Cowes township with sheltered Main Beach, boutique shopping, and waterfront dining, plus optional Koala Conservation Reserve visits.

Both paths converge at spectacular Nobbies Centre for our exclusive Golden Hour ritual with premium sparkling wine and elevated boardwalks showcasing dramatic coastal formations. As dusk falls, witness the internationally acclaimed Penguin Parade where thousands of Little Penguins emerge from Bass Strait waves and parade to their clifftop burrows in a spectacle captivating visitors for over 90 years.

Travel in air-conditioned luxury with WiFi, guaranteed window seating for each booking, and passionate local guides maintaining intimate 15-person groups.
