Overview

The perfect Phillip Island tour for those wanting more than just the Penguin Parade, as we also indulge in local food and wine, spot native wildlife, and take in the breath-taking views of the hidden side of the Island.

Your day begins at the Melbourne Arts Centre, where you’ll meet your local guide and settle into our premium midi-coach. We travel in small groups of no more than 15 guests.

Our first stop is the coastal haven of San Remo, the gateway to Phillip Island.

Then, enjoy a cellar door wine tasting and grazing experience at the award-winning Phillip Island Winery, followed by a shared-plate lunch by the bay.

Next, explore charming Cowes at your own pace, with time to wander beaches and boutiques, or choose to spot Koalas at the conversation reserve.

We continue to The Nobbies for golden hour, with sweeping ocean views and wildlife, paired with a glass of sparkling wine.

The day finishes at the world-famous Penguin Parade, with general viewing entry included.
