Valid for 01APR23-31MAR25:

Discover the magic of Phillip Island with this fantastic private tour to see just the things you want to see. There is plenty of time to get up close and personal with Australian animals and the famous little penguins

We drive south-east from Melbourne to reach Moonlit Sanctuary Conservation Park where you will meet endangered species, kangaroos, wallabies and koalas plus an array of colourful birds and reptiles.

Our journey then leads onto Phillip Island, the home of the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix and our famous Little Penguins.

Upon arrival on the island, depending on the time of year and your particular interests, we will visit Woolamai beach to see surfers riding the waves.

From here, we go to the western corner of the island to enjoy magnificent views of Bass Strait and the Nobbies, which is home to the largest colony of fur seals in Australia.

During the daylight savings months, you will travel to the town of Cowes to enjoy a great two course dinner before. In the winter months, you will have dinner in Cowes after the penguin parade. Finally, a trip to Phillip Island is not complete without its black tie gala event: the Penguin Parade. You will head to the Visitor Centre to shop, have a coffee and meander along the boardwalk to the viewing platform where you will see the little penguins come ashore, decked out in their tuxedos as they hurry off to find their burrows. On this private tour, you will be treated to viewing the penguins at the special Penguins Plus viewing platform close to the little penguins’ favourite spot to exit the water.
