This Phillip Island day tour combines colourful coastal attractions with Victoria’s very finest wildlife experiences. Departing Melbourne at around midday, journey to the city’s most colourful attraction – the iconic Brighton Beach bathing boxes – for an opportunity to visit the beach and admire these historic landmarks.

At Moonlit Sanctuary Conservation Park, enjoy a guided wildlife walk as well as the spectacular “Conservation in Action” wildlife show. Learn about Victoria's extraordinary native animals, and the exceptional conservation efforts that will help to preserve them for future generations.

At Point Grant and The Nobbies, you'll enjoy breathtaking views over Westernport Bay and Bass Strait. Then it’s onwards to the main event, where just after dark, the world’s smallest penguins waddle ashore after spending the day fishing out at sea. You’ll be enchanted as these plucky birds emerge from the surf and pass right before your eyes!
