Description

Depart from Melbourne's Southern Cross Station and go straight to Phillip Island via the Bass Coast Highway with panoramic views of Western Port and French Island. Crossing onto Phillip Island at San Remo, your first stop is Seal Rocks and the Nobbies Centre to take a walk along the boardwalk and soak in the views back towards the Mornington Peninsula from Phillip Island’s most western point (during winter solstice this may be omitted). From September to late April, also have the chance to explore the township of Cowes & or the local Chocolate Factory. Head to Phillip Island for the penguin tour. Just after dark every night, the world’s smallest penguins waddle ashore after spending the day fishing out at sea. Be captivated as the stars of the show emerge from the surf and pass right before your eyes on their journey back to their burrows. An evening meal (at your own expense) can be enjoyed before or after the Penguin Parade depending on the season. Your return to Melbourne is direct via the Monash Freeway for an evening arrival back to Southern Cross Station and limited CBD drop-off points (Southbank near Crown Casino and Russell Street near Chinatown).

Important Information

  • The Penguin Parade is a natural occurrence with the Penguins arriving around sunset, thus the arrival time back to Melbourne is roughly 3 hours after they arrive. In summer this may be close to 11:00 PM moving earlier as autumn and winter approach. This activity takes place outdoors and can have fluctuating weather conditions thus even in summer it is recommended to bring warm waterproof clothing If under 6 guests are booked, rather than cancel the tour may operate a modern minivan
