Visit Philip Island and French Island on a popular day trip from Melbourne! Spend the day island hopping from between the islands and getting up close and personal with some of Australia’s cutest native wildlife. You'll enjoy breathtaking ocean views and local knowledge of the area during this tour!

Where we visit:

After being picked up at a designated location in Melbourne CBD, the tour arrives on the other end of the peninsula and starts its journey with a short trip across Western Port Bay to French Island. You'll travel by power catamaran across the Crystal Blue Sea to the first destination with the opportunity to take in the picturesque scenery of the day.
 

French Island is a hidden treasure of wildlife. After your first ferry ride, the tour will participate in a guided 4WD tour around the island where the guide will share their knowledge of the natural environment. Keep your eyes peeled for koalas and an array of wildlife that inhabits the island! The tour stops for lunch at a local farmgate to experience how the locals live (during summer tours).
 

Afterwards, the tour will continue with a ferry ride across Western Port Bay to Phillip Island. This is one of Australia’s most amazing locations. At 23km long and 10km wide, the island is a small and peaceful spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Phillip Island is home to some of the greatest surf conditions, amazing beaches, native Australian wildlife and the world-famous motorbike circuit. 

Once you arrive on Phillip Island, the tour takes a short adventure to Point Grant, also known by the locals as ‘Nobbies,’ where you'll experience the remarkable natural sights. Just offshore from Nobbies is Australia’s largest fur seal colony, which you may be able to spot by looking through the viewing binoculars.


At sunset, you'll get the chance to watch Phillip Island’s famous penguin parade, where tiny penguins waddle their way onto Summerland Beach. They are the smallest species of penguin and the only penguin that lives permanently in Australia. Get up close and personal with these cute penguins in the general viewing area to watch these delightful creatures waddle ashore. After the parade, the tour will drive you back to your designated drop-off location in Melbourne CBD.
