    The popular Maru Koala and Animal Park serves as our initial destination on the tour. This location allows visitors to interact closely with Australia's native wildlife species. The chance to feed kangaroos by hand and photograph koalas while gaining knowledge about wombats, dingos, emus, and Tasmanian devils provides an entertaining educational experience for everyone, which should be included in any Phillip Island day tour.

    The Nobbies Centre

    Our exploration continues on the scenic unpaved Boulevard Drive, which runs alongside the Southern Ocean, offering stunning views. The western tip of Phillip Island presents a dramatic scene of rugged cliffs beside crashing waves and open grasslands swept by the wind. Take a leisurely walk along the boardwalk at Nobbies Lookout while enjoying the stunning sea views. This windswept headland presents an ideal opportunity to breathe in the salty air while capturing photos of the wild coastline and experiencing its raw beauty.
