Step back in time and embark on an unforgettable journey across two of Australia’s most scenic islands.

This isn’t your typical Phillip Island tour—it’s an island-hopping adventure that brings you face-to-face with some of the country’s cutest and most iconic wildlife, all while taking in breathtaking ocean views.

Your adventure begins with a ride aboard the sleek, fast catamaran of Western Port Ferries. As you sail across the crystal-blue waters, keep an eye out for seals and pelicans along the beautiful coastline. Arriving at French Island, a 4WD tour will take you deep into the untouched wilderness where wild koalas can be spotted in their natural habitat. Enjoy lunch from a local farmgate in winter, or a relaxing afternoon tea in summer, while exploring hidden gems on this largely undiscovered island.

Back on board, you’ll sail into the charming village of Cowes on Phillip Island, with views of clifftop houses and the chance to spot dolphins and seals along the way. Stroll the pier and explore Cowes’ main street, lined with cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops.

Next, head to the Nobbies Boardwalk, a dramatic headland home to stunning sea bluffs and a seal colony, before witnessing the famous Penguin Parade as the little penguins waddle ashore at dusk. A day full of wildlife, ocean views, and unforgettable memories awaits you!
