Tour Itinerary
Arriving at this beautiful estate, you'll quickly realize... 1 hour 30 minutes
Arriving at this beautiful estate, you'll quickly realize why the Phillip Island Winery is a favored spot for both locals and visitors alike. Take part in a Wine Tasting Experience, right at the cellar door - tasting a range of different wines harvested throughout the Gippsland Region. Following your tasting, you will sit down and enjoy a delicious share-plate Winery Lunch feast. Complete with Wood Fired Pizzas, Antipasto Platters, Salads, and the ever favorite hot chips (fries). Take some time out here to buy more wine, beers, or ciders should you wish - it's a chilled experience here.
Cowes is Phillip Island's main commercial hub and... 30 minutes
Cowes is Phillip Island's main commercial hub and is a bustling location of restaurants, cafes, breweries, and boutique shops. This is where our tour starts! Here you will have time to explore in your own time. Our guide will point out the notable spots, and then allow you some freedom to wander. Visit the ever popular brewery, take a seat at the pub overlooking the waterfront, take part in some retail therapy, take a stroll along the jetty, or even go for a dip in the sparkling blue waters. The time is yours!
One of the most beautiful beaches on Phillip... 10 minutes
One of the most beautiful beaches on Phillip Island, and iconic of golden sands and glistening waters found in these areas. You will have a chance to walk in the soft sand, admire the beautiful horizon, and soak in the sea-air of this local beach - one that Chris Hemsworth himself has enjoyed since a young boy.
This is already one of Phillip Island's main... 1 hour
This is already one of Phillip Island's main attractions, simply for the sheer beauty it possess - however, we visit this stunning spot right on Golden Hour, allowing us a perfect sight over the glistening waters and rocky cliffs. Enjoy this moment with a Glass of Sparking Wine, as you enjoy the views and take a walk along the boardwalk, taking in spectacular sights, and glimpses of native wildlife. We depart from here along the back roads, providing us unparalleled views over Westernport Bay and Bass Strait, with even more wildlife to spot.
A "must do" whilst in Melbourne/Victoria, the Penguin... 2 hours
A "must do" whilst in Melbourne/Victoria, the Penguin Parade has long been the star attraction of Phillip Island. We arrive here early enough so that you can take some time in this world-class visitor centre, and grab a bite to eat from the cafe should you wish. You will then make your way out to the Penguin Viewing Platform, awaiting the arrival of the stars of the shows - the Little Penguins. As the sun begins to set, your ranger-guide will provide you information on these cute little creatures, and then you will see literally thousands of them make their way onto the beach and up the hill side. Walk along the boardwalk as you get within inches of these native Australian Penguins, admiring their uniqueness and cuteness alike. Once we have had our cuteness overload, we board back on the bus - making our way back to Melbourne...with plenty of good memories to accompany us for the journey back
