Depart Melbourne mid-afternoon and travel directly to The Nobbies, including a short comfort stop on the way.
At The Nobbies, you can explore the boardwalks and enjoy panoramic coastal views of Bass Strait, stroll along the clifftop boardwalks with views out to the Nobbies and Seal Rocks. You'll be able to take in an array of stunning sights as you explore the boardwalks, and if you're lucky, you might even see the blowhole in action!
Experience the amazing sight of little penguins waddling home from the ocean to their burrows at Phillip Island. Home to the largest little penguin colony in the world, you can watch these amazing seabirds every night of the year from our general viewing platform and boardwalks.
Following the Penguin Parade, relax as we make our way back to Melbourne.
Hey an amazing experience, well worth the money! Our tour guide was Pete and he was nothing but joyful, professional and always kept us well informed! Would definitely book again!
Our guide/driver, Nathan was great fun. He was informative and took us to a few spots that weren’t on the itinerary because we had plenty of time. He was so excited to spot 3 echidnas on our trip, he even turned us around to catch a glimpse of one. We saw wallabies, geese, ducks, black swans and of course penguins. We got to the penguin 🐧 parade venue with plenty of time for dinner before heading out to the viewing area to spot the cute little penguins making their way up the beach to their burrows. It was very windy and cold on the beaches so make sure you are rugged up for it. All in all we had a great day and didn’t feel rushed at any of our stops.
Antony is amzing guide, althought it was raining all the day but his energy and enthusiasium have brought us a great vibe. he is super nice and helpful.
It was an amazing experience to see all those little penguins. Brooke planned and explained everything perfectly. Dress warm!
We were set to go to Philip Island, unfortunately we missed the tour bus because of miss communication. On thier tour description and tour ticket we received they set the meeting point at one location which is incorrect. The tour company did message me once asking to confirm the pick up had changed but I never replied meaning I never saw the message. They reached out on whats app the day off at the time of pick up because they didnt see us. We then took an Uber which was a bad idea. With the traffic even though the tour bus did extend the wait time but we still missed the it by 3 min. Sadly we did not get to see the penguins, which was largely the reason we came to Melbourne. My advice check, check and recheck the pick up location.
Would like to thank Mark for the tour today. Mark was very accommodating and we were extremely grateful to be able to be picked up and dropped off at San Remo. Mark had the knowledge of Phillip Island, the animals and history of the area. I highly recommend this tour to everyone of all ages. The Nobbies was beautiful, Woolamai beach was stunning and Cowes is a great stop for dinner but our highlight was seeing the cute penguins at Penguin Parade! This tour did not disappoint :) Thanks Mark and Explore Australia for this beautiful tour. We’ll be back again in the future.
