Description

Depart Melbourne for a full day discovering Phillip Island, where native wildlife, dramatic coastal scenery and one of Australia’s most famous natural experiences come together.

Travel with an expert local guide who does much more than get you from one stop to the next. Throughout the day, hear stories, wildlife insights and local knowledge that bring the region to life and add meaning to every stop.

Begin with a visit to the iconic Brighton Beach Boxes, where colourful bathing boxes line the shore and create one of Melbourne’s most recognisable coastal scenes.

Continue to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, where you’ll have time to explore and encounter native Australian animals including kangaroos, wallabies and koalas in a natural bushland setting.

As the journey continues toward Phillip Island, take in the rugged coastal beauty of The Nobbies. Walk the boardwalks and enjoy sweeping views across Bass Strait and the dramatic coastline.

As evening approaches, arrive at the world-famous Penguin Parade. At sunset, watch as little penguins emerge from the sea and waddle across the beach toward their burrows, a special opportunity to observe these remarkable animals in their natural habitat.

Return to Melbourne later in the evening after a day filled with wildlife encounters, coastal scenery and one of Victoria’s most memorable natural experiences.
