Description
Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from your Melbourne hotel or a central meeting point. Meet your driver-guide and enjoy a relaxing journey as you leave the city behind and head southeast toward the scenic coast of Phillip Island.
Arrive at the Koala Conservation Reserve and enjoy a peaceful walk among the treetops on elevated boardwalks. Spot koalas dozing in eucalyptus trees and keep an eye out for wallabies and native birds in the bushland.
Next, explore the rugged coastline at The Nobbies, home to spectacular ocean views, blowholes, and a distant fur seal colony. Walk the boardwalks along the cliff's edge and breathe in the fresh Antarctic air rolling in from Bass Strait.
Enjoy a leisurely 1-hour lunch break in the seaside town of Cowes. Choose from a variety of eateries offering local, Indian, vegetarian, and halal-friendly options.
Take a step back in time on the peaceful Churchill Island. Explore a working heritage farm, view traditional sheep shearing demonstrations, and enjoy panoramic views of Western Port Bay.
Before returning, visit the Penguin Parade Visitor Centre for a sneak peek into the life of little penguins. Enjoy interactive displays, short films, and learn about penguin conservation efforts.
Finally, sit back and enjoy the scenic drive back to Melbourne, arriving at your hotel by approximately 6:00 PM.
