Visit Philip Island and French Island on a popular day trip from Melbourne!&nbsp;Spend the day island hopping from between the islands and getting up close and personal with some of Australia&rsquo;s cutest native wildlife. You&#39;ll enjoy breathtaking ocean views and&nbsp;local knowledge of the area during this tour!

&nbsp;

Where we visit:

After being picked up at a designated&nbsp;location in Melbourne CBD, the tour arrives on the other end of the peninsula and&nbsp;starts its&nbsp;journey with a short trip across Western Port Bay to French Island. You&#39;ll travel by power catamaran across the Crystal Blue Sea to the&nbsp;first destination with the opportunity to&nbsp;take&nbsp;in the picturesque scenery of the day. 
&nbsp;

French Island is a hidden treasure of wildlife. After your first ferry ride,&nbsp;the tour&nbsp;will participate in a guided 4WD tour around the island where the guide will share their knowledge of the natural environment. Keep your eyes peeled for&nbsp;koalas and an array of wildlife that inhabits the island! The tour stops for lunch at a&nbsp;local farmgate to experience how the locals live (during summer tours). 
&nbsp;

Afterwards, the tour will continue with a ferry ride across Western Port Bay to Phillip Island.&nbsp;This is one of Australia&rsquo;s most amazing locations.&nbsp;At 23km long and 10km wide, the island is a small and peaceful spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.&nbsp;Phillip Island is home to some of the greatest surf conditions, amazing beaches, native Australian wildlife&nbsp;and the world-famous motorbike circuit.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Once you arrive on Phillip Island, the tour takes a short adventure to Point Grant, also known by the locals as &lsquo;Nobbies,&rsquo; where you&#39;ll experience&nbsp;the remarkable natural sights. Just offshore from Nobbies is Australia&rsquo;s largest fur seal colony,&nbsp;which you may be able to spot by looking through the viewing binoculars. 
 
 
At sunset, you&#39;ll get the&nbsp;chance to watch Phillip Island&rsquo;s famous penguin parade, where tiny penguins waddle their way onto Summerland Beach. They are the smallest species of penguin and the only penguin that lives permanently in Australia. Get up close and personal with these cute penguins in the general viewing area to watch these delightful creatures waddle ashore. After the parade, the tour will drive you back to your designated drop-off location in Melbourne CBD.

Penguins!!!

Your was brilliant, our guide Brooke was amazing!

Great tour

This was one of the best tours I did during my time in Australia. I would definitely recommend doing this (more expensive tour) in comparison to the other tours that skip French Island. We saw a lot of wildlife. It was a long day with lots of stops but didn't feel too fast-paced. The small group size was also a big plus and they had comfortable vehicles. Guide was very laid-back and a good driver.

I had a great time!

I went to Philip island last week with this tour. I'm sure I made the right choice.
To be honest, I was considering other cheaper tours from another travel agency at first.
I can tell you why you need to join this tour. 
Apart from this tour, All of them are visiting Brighton beach and the zoo.
You can easily go to Brighton beach and the Zoo from Melbourne CBD with public transportation.
I'mm living in Australia for 3 years, and I was not interested in visiting the zoo, so it was the right choice. And Small group there were less than 20.
With this tour, you can visit French island. 100% guarantee you can see Koalas in wild up close. 
I could see one Koala like 50cm away from me. It was an incredible experience.
And lunch is included which is better than other tours. Ferry rides for 2 times. you can see the view of 
Phillip bay. 4WD driving on off roads, Breathtaking sceneries. 
and You will visit all the good spots of French island and Philip island.
You can see a lot of wallabies as well. And the last thing is the thing you go to Phillip Island is to see the Penguins, This tour stays at the Penguins parade for the longest time compared to other travel agencies. so you can see there will be fewer people at the end you will be able to enjoy it.
And the tour guide Berry was a legend. He is a very professional local guide. The tour was so much fun!

The best tour at Philip island, if you go there choose this one.
