Private Phillip Island & Mornington Day Tour

The journey, in full

Depart Melbourne at 10 am (winter)/12 midday (summer) for the hour-long drive to Mornington and some of Victoria's best vineyard dining. Indulge in a tutored tasting of some of the region's best wines before sitting down to a delicious two-course lunch (not included). After lunch, visit hidden beaches among Victoria’s wild southern coastline for a gentle stroll or take the scenic drive up to Arthur’s Seat. If you’re in the mood to discover local culture, we can arrange a private viewing at a local Indigenous gallery or sample local artisan cheese and pastries in a charming country setting. En-route to Phillip Island, stop at our favorite local wildlife sanctuary. Moonlit is regarded as one of Victoria’s best and the opportunity to pat and feed koalas and kangaroos is not to be missed. Enquire about upgrading to include some ranger-led encounters with native wildlife (not included). Continue the drive around Westernport Bay to Phillip Island with enough time to visit a few local sites and attractions before dinner, with various charming, seaside options to choose from. After watching the sunset over the Southern Ocean it is time to make our way to see the penguins. The experience is extremely popular and often very busy. Enjoy a premium viewing experience in the exclusive, ‘Penguins Plus’, area or upgrade to the fantastic ‘Guided Ranger Experience’ (ages 12+). The drive home after the penguins is under two hours. Expect to be home by 10 pm in winter/or midnight in summer.
