Before you book

A packed Phillip Island day trip with plenty to see

The main advantage of this Phillip Island day trip is the chance to combine several popular stops in one day without renting a car or arranging separate tickets, transfers and timings.

The trade-off is a busy itinerary, and some stops can feel relatively short. It suits travellers who want to see a range of highlights rather than spend several hours in each place.

Koalas, coastal views and the Penguin Parade in one tour

At Moonlit Sanctuary you can see some of Australia's most recognisable wildlife, including koalas and kangaroos. Later, Nobbies Boardwalk opens up views across Phillip Island's coastline and the Nobbies Blowhole and Seal Rock area.

The most anticipated moment arrives at the end of the day with the Phillip Island Penguin Parade, when little penguins emerge from the ocean, cross the beach and head back towards their burrows.

Who is this Phillip Island tour best for?

It works particularly well for first-time Melbourne visitors, wildlife lovers, couples, families and travellers who want to experience Phillip Island without organising the day's transport and tickets themselves.

It may be less suitable if you want a short outing, prefer spending several hours at each stop, require wheelchair accessibility or want complete freedom to change the itinerary.
