Tour Overview
Our Phillip Island private tour from Melbourne takes you through some of the region’s most remarkable wildlife and coastal locations.
The journey combines the famous Penguin Parade, the spectacular Nobbies and Seal Rocks, and the Koala Conservation Reserve, together with a scenic drive through Victoria’s countryside and coastline.
Rather than travelling with a large group or following a rigid tour schedule, you enjoy a fully private experience with your own vehicle and professional driver.
Whether your priority is seeing Australian wildlife, photographing dramatic coastal landscapes or simply enjoying a relaxing day away from Melbourne, we provide a comfortable way to experience Phillip Island at your own pace.
Tour Key Highlights
Koala Conservation Reserve
Get closer to Australia’s iconic koalas at the Koala Conservation Reserve on Phillip Island. Explore the reserve’s natural woodland environment and look for koalas resting among the trees.
The reserve provides an excellent opportunity to learn more about native Australian wildlife while enjoying a peaceful nature experience.
For international visitors and families, seeing koalas in a protected natural environment can be one of the memorable highlights of a Phillip Island tour from Melbourne.
Penguin Parade – Phillip Island Nature Parks
Experience one of Phillip Island’s most famous attractions at the Penguin Parade.
As evening approaches, little penguins return from the ocean to their burrows along the coastline. Watching these remarkable animals emerge from the water and make their way across the beach is a unique Australian wildlife experience.
Penguin Parade tickets are subject to the selected ticket option and availability. We recommend checking the available viewing options when planning your tour.
Because the Penguin Parade takes place in the evening, our private tour provides the flexibility needed to enjoy the attraction before beginning your return journey to Melbourne.
The Nobbies & Seal Rocks
Explore the dramatic coastal scenery of The Nobbies, located at the western tip of Phillip Island.
The area is known for its rugged cliffs, ocean views, boardwalks and spectacular coastal landscapes. Depending on conditions and seasonal wildlife activity, visitors may also have opportunities to observe seals and other marine life in the surrounding environment.
The Nobbies is particularly appealing to photography enthusiasts, nature lovers and travellers looking for some of Phillip Island’s most impressive coastal scenery.
Scenic Coastal & Countryside Drive
The experience is not only about the attractions.
The journey to and from Phillip Island takes you through Victoria’s changing landscapes, including countryside, coastal areas and regional communities.
With a private vehicle, you can enjoy the scenery comfortably without having to concentrate on navigation or driving. Where practical, the itinerary can include opportunities for sightseeing and photography.
Ticket Options
The Penguin Parade and other Phillip Island attractions may offer different ticket and viewing options, depending on availability, operating dates and visitor preferences.
We can help you plan your private tour around the attractions and ticket option that best suits your group.
Depending on your selected experience, ticket options may include different levels of Penguin Parade viewing or attraction access.
Important: Attraction admission should always be confirmed at the time of booking, as ticket availability, pricing and operating arrangements can change.
If you have a particular Penguin Parade viewing experience in mind, let us know when making your enquiry so we can help coordinate your itinerary.
