Embark on a unique island-hopping adventure from Melbourne that showcases the best of French Island and Phillip Island. Begin with a scenic cruise aboard Western Port Ferries to French Island, where you’ll join a guided 4WD eco tour through pristine wilderness to spot wild koalas in their natural habitat.
Enjoy a seasonal lunch or afternoon tea sourced from local produce, before cruising onward to Phillip Island. Explore Cowes village, stroll the Nobbies Boardwalk for ocean views and seal spotting, and cap off the day with the unforgettable Penguin Parade, where little penguins return from the sea at sunset.
This tour is ideal for wildlife lovers, nature seekers, and anyone looking for an off-the-beaten-path coastal escape.
A good occasion to spot Australian native wildlife and enjoy nature. Our guide was Matt, he is an amazing guy: funny and engaging!
This was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Both days were amazing! Daisy, our guide on French Island, was incredibly knowledgeable about koalas, local wildlife, and the unique ecosystem. We had a delicious homemade lunch and explored the island in a perfect off-road vehicle. We saw koalas and native animals in the wild, which was a dream come true. Darren, our driver and guide before and after, was super enthusiastic, friendly, and full of great tips, including the perfect spot to sit at the Penguin Parade (lower left!). We had an amazing view of the penguins making their way home. Both guides had great energy and took care of everything. We’re so grateful for this incredible experience, highly recommended!
Our day trip to French and Phillip Island was a total success and we would definitely do it again. Our highlight were the koalas we spotted on French Island. They were in natural habit and absolutely adorable. The penguin parade is also worth a visit and you don’t want to miss it, when you are in the Melbourne area.
It was the perfect day! Spectacular wildlife experience where Australian natives were comfortably in their natural habitats and the guides made you feel so welcomed
It was a really nice day. We stopped for a lot of beautiful views. Matt, our tour guide, was super friendly and knowledgeable.
Our trip was great! Learnt so much, laughed so much and tasty food during the afternoon tea was a plus. Hunter and Craig are great at what they do! Would definitely do another tour with them.
