Phillip Island Day Tour

If you have ever wanted to observe and interact with Australia’s wild life, then this is definitely the tour for you.

Our Phillip Island day tour covers everything from kangaroos to koalas, parrots to penguins and wombats to worms, all explained to you by an expert on our native animals, giving you a full appreciation of our many amazing species.

You will have an opportunity to hand feed our native kangaroos and emus as well as to get up close to everyone’s favourite sleepy-head, the koala. We are able to view both types of koala (northern and southern) whereas most local parks have only southern koalas.

A real highlight for most of our visitors is the opportunity to cuddle a baby wombat. These orphaned joeys are hand-reared until old enough to fend for themselves, before being released back into the wild.

We make a stop at one of the region’s many wineries to taste some of the locally produced wines, and here have an opportunity to learn a little about the wine making process.

We take some time to explore the sights of Westernport Bay and Phillip island itself before making our way to Summerland Beach where, as dusk falls, it’s time for the stars of the show – the Little Penguins - to make their appearance and bedazzle you at close range as they make their way across the beach to their homes.

Time is allowed to explore the visitor centre and to shop for souvenirs before commencing the journey back to Melbourne.

We depart Melbourne earlier than most to ensure that you have plenty of time to enjoy all that Phillip Island and the area have to offer. You will travel in air-conditioned comfort with a maximum group size of 21 passengers, allowing a personal touch with the benefits of a small group environment.

So come along and let our experienced guides give you a value-packed day of outstanding sights and entertainment, with plenty of fun and a few little surprises along the way.
