The Experience
What your day looks like
Make the absolute most of your time ashore with an elevated shore excursion designed exclusively for Phillip Island cruise ship passengers. Departing seamlessly from the Cowes Transit Centre via a short shuttle, your day begins with intimate wildlife encounters along the treetop boardwalks of the Koala Conservation Reserve. From there, indulge in a boutique wine tasting paired with a gourmet grazing platter, followed by a relaxed shared lunch of woodfired pizzas, crisp salads, and fries at a beautiful local venue. As afternoon turns to golden hour, explore the vibrant coastal atmosphere of San Remo during pelican feeding time before taking in sweeping ocean views and a refreshing drink along the rugged cliffside of The Nobbies. Your unforgettable journey culminates at dusk at the world-famous Penguin Parade as hundreds of Little Penguins waddle ashore, all capped off with a stress-free, guaranteed return transfer straight to your cruise ship well before departure.
