What you can expect

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 March, also have the chance to explore the township of Cowes, maybe grab an early meal or enjoy a cool drink in a local hotel or Cafe.

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 at either Cowes or the Penguin Parade.

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 (Flinders St Station and Queen & Lonsdale st).

*If less than 10 guest's a mini van may be used without a restroom.
