Melbourne City and Phillip Island Day Tour

Experience the magic of Melbourne and enjoy two destinations in a single day! Our expert guide will take you to some of Melbourne's most iconic buildings and cultural landmarks before heading to Phillip Island to witness the world-famous penguin parade.
Melbourne, a city bursting with lush gardens, vibrant restaurants, charming alleys, and a buzzing art scene, is waiting for you.

We'll kick things off with iconic photo spots, like the MCG forecourt, Hosier Lane, Fitzroy Gardens, and the Shrine of Remembrance. These aren't just places; they're your ticket to unforgettable moments and Instagram-worthy snapshots.

But hold onto your hats, because after the Melbourne buzz, it's time to switch gears and immerse yourself in nature. Walk along the scenic coastal boardwalks at The Nobbies and as the sun dips below the horizon, get ready for the grand finale—the Penguin Parade.

It's a natural spectacle that'll leave you in awe.
