OVERVIEW OF THE TOUR
The Phillip Island Tour is home to an astonishing array of wildlife, including Australia’s largest fur seal colony, the Little Penguins and cuddly koalas.
Only 90 minutes from Melbourne, The Phillip Island Tour features spectacular coastal scenery, charming heritage and an abundance of wildlife. Enjoy getting close to koalas before joining the Little Penguins at dusk as they emerge from the surf and waddle to their burrows.
The Phillip Island Tour involves a luxurious bus journey from the Melbourne CBD to Phillip Island. Our first stop of the tour is the Koala Conservation Centre, where you can observe koalas in the trees from the treetop boardwalk. Learn more about koalas and the important conservation work done at the centre with a guided tour.
The Nobbies Rock Formations are our second stop en route to the Penguin Parade. The Nobbies Rocks are of a unique shape and formation and accommodate many of the native penguins and seabird life within the Phillip Island region. Take in the amazing views all the way out to Seal Rock, home of a large colony of Australian fur seals.
We save our main attraction of The Phillip Island Tour till the very end. The Penguin Parade begins with a visit to the Penguin Parade Information Centre, where you will have the opportunity to gain a greater insight into the cute seabirds and the area they call home, prior to trekking down to Summerland Beach to partake in the spectacle. Don’t miss the action, as the penguins become visible after a long day’s “work” and waddle to their sand burrows. The Penguin Parade is a show not to be missed.
With the penguins safely tucked up back in the burrows, we'll make the journey back to Melbourne.
