Experience Overview:

Phillip Island Hiking Tour With Penguin Parade

TAKE IN AMAZING VIEWS OF THE BASS STRAIT & MAKE FRIENDS WITH PHILLIP ISLANDS LOCAL PENGUINS & OTHER AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE ON OUR SMALL GROUP DAY TOUR.

It’s time to hit the road with a small group (max 8 guests). Enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee and sit back and relax as we take the 1hr 45min drive down to Phillip Island. Our first stop is a surfer’s dream beach, Cape Woolamai. From here we will lace up the boots and start our hike that will guide you through rugged rock formations, known as the Pinnacles. As we make our way around the Nature Park of Phillip Island you can witness stunning views over the Bass Strait and pounding surf below. Look out for wallabies, echidnas, shearwater birds and whales in the winter months.

After our easy/moderate 6.8km hike we will head into Cowes for a delicious lunch or dinner (depending on the season) at one of our favourite local cafes or restaurants before we make our way to the Phillip Island Koala Reserve. Stroll through this eucalyptus woodland and come ‘face-to-face’ with koalas in their natural habitat. The Koala Reserve’s unique tree top boardwalks and close viewing areas allow visitors to see how truly amazing koalas are.

Our next stop is The Nobbies for an easy stroll along the boardwalk to discover breathtaking coastline views and the impressive thundering blowhole. This area is home to Australia’s largest seal colony, little penguins and silver gulls.

And to finish the day we will take a waddle on the wild side and see hundreds (sometimes thousands) of penguins emerge from the surf at sunset at the world-famous Penguin Parade.

This experience is a wildlife lover’s dream!

Hike & Seek

We are James & Mette, nature lovers, hikers and seekers.

While hiking through Victoria’s Sealers Cove in Wilson Promontory we came up with the idea of Hike & Seek as a way of combining our love of nature, nutrition, travel and good times with fellow travellers and locals alike.

So we set out on a mission to find the most beautiful and epic hiking destinations all within a short drive from Melbourne. We thought what better way to see all that Victoria has to offer than in a VW Kombi van, the original adventurer. We named her Olivia and restored her for maximum comfort on the road. Since our humble beginnings we have introduced a few newer model VW to the fleet, Biggie & Panda. Both are built for adventure and share the same free-spirited soul of what we set out to offer through Hike & Seek.

Our intimate, small group hiking tours have been designed for other like-minded folk who share the same enthusiasm, curiosity and sense of respect for nature and the outdoors that we have.
