What to expect

Panoramic ocean views, wildlife encounters, ocean cruises, nature walks and journeys to regional Victorian towns are just a few of the highlights from this jam-packed day tour to French Island and Penguin Island. Travelling from Melbourne, the first leg of the adventure will take you across Western Port Bay to French Island for a 4WD tour, visit a local farmgate to see how the locals live and the chance to observe koalas in their natural habitat.

Phillip Island is the second destination - home to the world famous Penguin Parade and stunning coastlines as far as the eye can see. You’ll take an afternoon stroll along Nobbies Boardwalk to soak in the breathtaking ocean views and explore the town of Cowes before settling in for an unforgettable evening with the Penguins. Expert commentary really brings this wildlife encounter to life with fascinating tales about these gorgeous animals and why they call Phillip Island home. Melbourne's island hopping adventure is available on weekdays and is an adventure you'll always remember with once in a lifetime wildlife encounters and beautiful sights all day long.
