Phillip Island Penguin Parade & Churchill Island Farm Bus Tour

The journey, in full

Churchill Island Heritage Farm: The island, off an island! Churchill Island is a small island, almost connected by mangroves to Phillip Island. On it sits a property that has been continuously farmed since 1872! Here you will discover pioneer farming techniques, and watch traditional activities like cow milking, sheep shearing, blacksmithing, and working dog demonstrations, some of which you even have an opportunity to participate in. All this is amongst a scenic patchwork of farmland, gardens, wetlands, and walking tracks covering 57 hectares surrounded by the sea. You will have the opportunity to purchase your lunch from the café on site. The Nobbies: Time for the great views at The Nobbies. Wander the boardwalk as it meanders around the lookout, taking in the stunning views of this rugged coastline. Watch the largest colony of Fur seals in Australia frolic around Seal Rocks, take in the thunder of the blow hole, and keep your eyes peeled for an array of birdlife. Phillip Island Penguin Parade: As dusk approaches so do the star attractions, the cute little penguins! Like clockwork every day, they emerge at dusk from the ocean and waddle adorably across the beach making their way home for the night in their burrows. It's hard not to smile at these endearing little creatures, it's truly a memorable experience. When the penguins are tucked safely in for the night we head back to Melbourne to the same pick-up location. You will have the opportunity to purchase your dinner at the café on site. In Summer (when the Penguins come in later) you will also be able to visit the beautiful seaside town of Cowes to purchase your dinner before the Penguin Parade. Throughout the rest of the year, dinner can be purchased at the Penguin Parade. Return to central Melbourne pick-up location.
