Private Phillip Island Penguin Tour with Penguins Plus Tickets

This is a private full-day trip from Melbourne to Phillip Island for up to six passengers, with a local guide, private vehicle and Penguins Plus premium viewing tickets included. Along the way, the day can be customised, with time to see parts of the island’s coastline including beaches, Cape Woolamai and The Nobbies before heading to the Penguin Parade at sunset. It is a higher-end option rather than a budget tour, but the private setup makes planning simple if you are travelling as a small group and want a more tailored day out.

You’ll be picked up from your hotel and travel by private vehicle with a local guide. The day focuses on Phillip Island’s coastal sights and wildlife, with stops that can include beaches, Cape Woolamai and The Nobbies. As evening approaches, you’ll head to the Penguin Parade and use the included Penguins Plus premium viewing tickets to watch the little penguins come in from the beach at sunset. Bottled water is included, and the tour runs in all weather, so bring clothing that suits the conditions.
