Phillip Island Tours

Phillip Island is approximately 140 kilometres to the south of Melbourne in the state of Victoria, Australia.  It is often most well known for hosting the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix which brings thousands of people to the island every year. The Island itself is also a nature lover’s paradise and being so close to Melbourne means it’s easily accessible by car, bus or on any of the Phillip Island day tours from Melbourne and surrounds. The majority of guided tours and trips to Phillip Island offer pickups from your hotel or a central location which makes visiting the island for the day or an extended stay very easy. The Phillip Island Penguin Parade is perhaps the most popular attraction on the Island and is an amazing wildlife experience. At dusk the Little Penguins come out of the water and make their way up the beach to their burrows through a maze of sand dunes. They can be heard calling out to each other to help the families find their way home and the boardwalk between the dunes allows people to get up close to them. It is a wildlife experience well worth seeing on a trip to Victoria.

Even though the Penguin Parade is often the highlight, the Philip Island tours from Melbourne showcase so much more than just these beautiful creatures and their habitat. Depending how you choose to get to the island or the Phillip Island tour you choose you can also enjoy other attractions that are part of the Nature Parks like the Nobbies Boardwalk and the spectacular Blowhole. Also offshore from the Nobbies is Seal Rocks which is home to Australia's largest Australian Fur Seal colony. There is a Seal watching cruise to see the fur seals up close and a Twilight Seal Watching Cruise that can be done during a trip to Phillip Island. Other experiences on offer that are often included in the tours include visiting a working cattle station and hand feeding Kangaroos, indulging your senses at the chocolate factory or visiting the Koala Conservation Centre. There are also extended 2 and 3 day extended tours that include visits to destinations like the Great Ocean Road, Wilsons Promontory, Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne attractions like the Eureka Skydeck.
