What to expect
Your first day curves along one of Australia's most photogenic stretches of coast, stopping at key viewpoints and rock formations. The second day is dedicated to Phillip Island, where little penguins return from the ocean at dusk—a natural spectacle you'll watch from designated viewing areas. You'll also visit Moonlit Sanctuary for daytime wildlife spotting. The city tour is flexible; you'll meet centrally in Melbourne and explore at your own rhythm. Guides provide context and local insights throughout, though the coach moves steadily between stops.
Good to know
Photography isn't permitted at the penguin parade to protect the birds. Large bags and prams stay off the coach. Infant seats are available if needed. Dates are flexible—choose your start day, and the penguin tour locks in for the following day. Breakfast is covered, but other meals are on you.
