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.
