Spend the day exploring Phillip Island without feeling rushed. This tour is designed to give you a well-paced introduction to the island’s wildlife, coastline and relaxed seaside atmosphere.

You’ll visit Churchill Island’s heritage gardens and coastal trails, walk among koalas in their natural habitat, and enjoy time in Cowes to have lunch and stretch your legs by the water. Along the southern coast, The Nobbies offers wide ocean views and dramatic scenery shaped by Bass Strait.

The day finishes with the Penguin Parade — watching little penguins return from the sea at dusk.

You’ll travel in a comfortable Mercedes vehicle, with complimentary bottled water provided, and an onboard fridge to keep your own drinks or purchases chilled. We make the day easy, scenic, and perfectly paced for a memorable Phillip Island experience.

The itinerary shown is our “day taken care of for you” plan, but it can be customised to suit your interests, including more time at selected stops.
