Overview of your Melbourne tour

An excellent full day tour which starts by a drive through of Melbourne & Toorak, before heading to Phillip Island, during the drive down to the Penguins we call into a Dairy Farm/Cafe where we see cowes been milked. You will experience Koalas in their natural habitat at the Koala Conservation Centre. Next we will travel to the Nobbies and Seal Rocks which is home to the largest Australian Fur Seal Colony. As night falls we will discover the Penguin Parade, which is the nightly arrival of Australia's largest penguin colony with a population of around 35, 000. Watch the little penguins emerge from the sea and make their way with a waddle to their homes in the sand, The Penguin Parade is Australia's number one wildlife tourist attraction and is highlight of any visit to the area. There are plenty of other ticketing options available so please ask. BEST: Ultimate Adventure Or Ranger Adventure: Group Size: 10 Max Tour #21547

The afternoon and evening tour is an exciting adventure! Starting at 1:30 PM and returning around (midnight) 11:59 PM, it offers a comprehensive exploration of Melbourne and Phillip Island.
