The Experience

What your day looks like

Experience Phillip Island like a local as you enjoy a scenic wildlife cruise, explore the charming coastal village of San Remo, and spot koalas in their natural habitat—before strolling the iconic Nobbies Boardwalk and ending the day with the unforgettable Phillip Island Penguin Parade. Begin your journey in San Remo, where you’ll take in picturesque views of the Phillip Island bridge and nearby beaches. If you're lucky, you might spot the town’s famous Australian Pelicans before boarding your two-hour Seal Watching Cruise with Wildlife Coast Cruises. You’re guaranteed to see hundreds of playful seals in their natural marine environment. After the cruise, choose between an optional visit to the Koala Conservation Reserve—where you’ll walk among the treetops and spot koalas nestled in the eucalyptus—or take free time to explore the seaside village of Cowes, with its relaxed vibe and inviting selection of local eateries for a casual early dinner. In the late afternoon, journey to the Nobbies Boardwalk, where the southern coastline comes alive with dramatic views, seabirds, and a sense of remote natural beauty. Finally, experience the magic of the Penguin Parade at dusk, as hundreds of Little Penguins return ashore after a day at sea—one of Australia’s most iconic wildlife spectacles. Travel in comfort and style aboard our premium midi-coach, complete with guaranteed window seating, Wi-Fi, and USB charging ports. With a small-group guarantee and a passionate local guide, this is Phillip Island done right.
