Discover Phillip Island and all that it has to offer as you explore its natural beauties, famous town, and meet the local wildlife.
Capture an iconic selfie with the wildlife at our first stop at an award winning animal park - Maru Koala Park. Enjoy meeting the kangaroos, koalas, parrots, and more! We’ll get to hear and watch some fascinating presentations and wildlife shows.
Next, we’ll have some fun in the crystal clear water, taking in the beautiful sights and soaking up the sun at Cape Woolamai - one of Victoria’s most popular surf beaches and Phillip Island’s highest point. After a fun day at the beach, we’ll explore Cowes - a famous tourist town known for its cultural artistic lifestyle and its delicious array of foods.

Soak up all the wildlife encounters, stunning views and walks as we visit The Nobbies. The Nobbies is an ecotourism destination located at Point Grant that’s home to Australia's largest Australian Fur Seal colony. Visiting the seals will get us excited for our last wildlife adventure on this tour - a visit to Summerlands beach.
As the sun sets at Summerlands beach, be in awe as the world’s smallest penguin waddles back up the beach to the safety of their homes, after a day of fishing. An amazing sight to see and a beautiful memory to end the tour with.

The bus was comfortable and the driver gave us a good explanation about each stops. Overall it was a good trip.
The tour was complete and excellent! We could visit all the spots in Phillip Island and finally me saw the cutest little penguins! I strongly recommend it!
The highlight of course were the penguins. It was a very cold windy night. We sat on the stand in front of the beach - but we saw only a couple of penguins coming out of the water onto the beach. However as we walked back along the boardwalk we were pleasantly surprised to see many groups of penguins walking along side us behind the fence. They were very close and we were able to see them clearly. Very cute and tiny. On the way to Phillip Island we stopped at many places - including an animal sanctuary, a beach, a chocolate factory and a dinner break at a country town. Overall a good trip at a great price.
Nadia thanks it was great to serve you colin may
Experience was good. There was problem with car at Nobbies broad walk but our driver Dhruv immediately made our arrangements in other van. Over all good experience. We can see more penguins beside broad walk while returning rather than coming out of ocean.

Wonderful driver
Neil was our driver and he was spectacular. He was very knowledgeable about the route but more than that, he always slowed down and even stopped when we happened across wildlife so we could take photos. He drove us nice and slow across Phillip Island so we could peak in all the penguins burrows unlike other tour buses we saw that sped across the landscape. On the way back, it was raining quite heavily and past midnight so he took the time to drop every passenger off at their hotel door. Bottled water was provided on the bus. We would have liked more time at each of the stops but we understand that the bus needs to keep to a schedule. Overall, it was great value for money and much cheaper than paying for a rental car, petrol and entry fees on our own.
