This fascinating experience takes you southeast of the city through the rich Gippsland coastal region.

Visit a boutique winery overlooking Westernport Bay hearing colourful stories about explorers, sealers and whalers who settled this region. Phillip Island is known as the wildlife island.

Walk amongst the treetops at the Koala Conservation Centre to see a protected koala company. Walk with your guide in nature reserve bushland and wetlands. The walk provides the opportunity to see wallabies and a range of bird life in the wild.

Penguins come ashore each evening at dusk from their ocean feeding grounds. The large penguin colony enters the beach in groups and “walk and talk” loudly as they work their way into the dunes where their burrow nests are situated.

Boardwalks enable the visitor to gain close contact with the penguins in the dune area.

Enjoy a fish and chip dinner at the Jetty Restaurant in the township of Cowes at Phillip Island.

Return to Melbourne inland, arriving late evening at approx 10.30pm.
