What is the best time to visit Phillip Island?
Phillip Island is a fantastic destination year-round where each season you can find something truly unique. The warmer months of the year is perfect for coastal walks and scenic views, though the penguins tend to arrive in the evening. In winter it is much colder and the penguins come in earlier, making it a great time for close-up viewing. No matter the season, our Philip Island Private Tour include warm blankets and thoughtful touches to ensure your comfort throughout the day.
Can we see penguins on Phillip Island without paying?
While there are some areas on Phillip Island where you may catch a glimpse of penguins in their natural habitat, such as along the coastline, the best way to reliably see them is by attending the Penguin Parade, which typically requires payment for entry. When you book a Philip Island Day Tour with us, entry to the Penguin Parade is included, giving you the best chance to witness this magical wildlife event up close.
What sights will we see on Phillip Island?
Our Phillip Island Private Tour offer a curated itinerary that covers all the must-see highlights. You’ll enjoy breathtaking views at Seal Rocks, where Australian fur seals bask on the rugged coastline, and visit scenic spots. The tour concludes with the unforgettable Penguin Parade, where you’ll watch hundreds of little penguins return from the ocean at sunset, an experience that’s both magical and uniquely Australian.
What dining options are included in the tour?
A delicious dinner at a local eatery is included in the Premium tour package, allowing you to savour regional cuisine that complements the day’s adventure. We select dining spots known for quality, local produce, and a welcoming atmosphere, making your Philip island experience not just scenic but flavourful too.
