What you can expect
Embark on a small group full-day tour from Melbourne and discover the best of Phillip Island. Start your morning at the Melbourne Arts Centre with a complimentary barista-made coffee, then travel to the seaside village of San Remo, where sweeping bridge views set the tone for the day. Next, join a two-hour seal-watching cruise, gliding along the island’s northern coastline to Seal Rocks, where thousands of fur seals live. After the cruise, you can choose between exploring Cowes township or upgrading your experience with a visit to the Koala Conservation Reserve to spot these iconic Aussie locals.
As the sun sets, enjoy a complimentary sparkling wine at The Nobbies boardwalk, surrounded by ocean views and scenic coastline. Finally, watch the famous Penguin Parade, where hundreds of little penguins waddle ashore under the stars. This adventure blends wildlife, scenery, and relaxation for the ultimate Phillip Island experience.
