Melbourne to Phillip Island 2 Day Tour with Penguins

Bus Icon 10.00am Melbourne 2 Days

Trip Overview

Experience Phillip Island the way it was meant to be enjoyed, with more time to slow down, explore and take in the island’s beautiful scenery, wildlife, food and wine. This relaxed two-day Phillip Island tour from Melbourne gives you time to enjoy the journey without rushing, with your bags on board as we depart from Arts Centre Melbourne and travel southeast to San Remo, the gateway to Phillip Island.

After taking in this beautiful coastal township, continue onto the island for an included wine tasting at Phillip Island Winery, followed by a grazing-style lunch showcasing local produce in a relaxed vineyard setting. From here, head into Cowes, Phillip Island’s main seaside town, where the afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure. Wander the foreshore, browse the local shops, grab a coffee, relax by the beach or simply settle into island time before spending the night on Phillip Island, with accommodation included based on twin share.

The next morning is yours to relax and enjoy the island before the tour continues in the afternoon. Visit the Koala Conservation Reserve, take in the dramatic coastal views at The Nobbies with a golden hour sparkling experience, then finish the day with entry to the world-famous Phillip Island Penguin Parade. After watching the little penguins return ashore, travel back to Melbourne in the evening with hotel drop-off included.
