If you want to cover a lot in one day, this tour pairs a morning look around Melbourne with an afternoon and evening trip to Phillip Island. It’s a small-group experience capped at 11 people, so it should feel more personal than a big coach tour. You’ll get a guided city tour, a walking look through Melbourne’s lanes and arcades, entry to Moonlit Sanctuary, time at the Nobbies boardwalks, and the Phillip Island Penguin Parade. Hotel pickup and drop-off from selected city centre hotels is included, which makes the long day easier to manage.
Free cancellation
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
Why backpackers love it
This suits travellers who are short on time and want Melbourne sightseeing and a big wildlife day trip sorted in one booking. The small-group setup is a plus if you’d rather avoid a crowded coach, and included transport means you won’t need to figure out public transport or car hire for Phillip Island. It’s not a cheap or quick option, but for backpackers doing a short stay in Melbourne, it’s an efficient way to fit in the city, Aussie animals and the penguins without planning it all yourself.
The day starts in Melbourne at 8:30am with pickup from selected city centre hotels. In the morning, you’ll see the city’s main attractions with a local guide and do a 45-minute walking tour through Melbourne’s laneways and arcades at a relaxed pace. After that, you’ll head out to Moonlit Sanctuary to learn more about Australian wildlife before continuing to Phillip Island. There, you’ll visit the Nobbies boardwalks and then finish the day at the Penguin Parade, where you can watch the little penguins come up the beach. After the parade, you’ll return to the city.
