Overview

With a relaxed 2pm departure from Melbourne's Southern Cross Station (Coach Terminal) we head straight to Phillip Island via the Bass Coast Hyw with panoramic views of Western Port & French Island.
Crossing onto Phillip Island at San Remo our first stop is Seal Rocks and the Nobbies Centre to take a walk along the boardwalk and soak in the stunning views back towards the Mornington Peninsula from Phillip Island’s most western point.

And then it’s onwards to the main event, the Phillip Island penguin tour. Just after dark every night, the world’s smallest penguins waddle ashore after spending the day fishing out at sea. You’ll be truly 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 (own expense) can be enjoyed prior of after the Penguin Parade depending on season. Our return to Melbourne is direct via the Monash Freeway for a mid evening arrival back to Southern Cross Station.
