Heading out of Melbourne, we travel through the cities Eastern Suburbs, marvelling at the stately homes. View Western Port bay before a stop for some afternoon tea.
Soon we arrive at Churchill Island. This historic settlement is where the first crops were introduced into Victoria. The sweeping views of the headland, green pastures and historic buildings make this a perfect place to have some home made afternoon tea
Leaving there we make our way to walk amongst the treetops at the Koala Conservation Center. This is one of the few areas in Victoria where you can see a protected koala colony. Walk with your guide in nature reserve bushland and wetlands as they interpret your surroundings and more often than not get to see wild Koalas within touching distance! This makes for once in a lifetime photographs.
Continuing on we head to the Nobbies. From this magnificent headland, the views stretch forever. There is spectacular coastal viewing from the boardwalks and lookout points set amongst natural sea bird gardens. One and half kilometres offshore from The Nobbies are Seal Rocks, home to Australia's largest Australian Fur Seal colony. As we wander around this portion of nature's paradise there is also every possibility to see swamp wallabys in the wild.
Finally you experience a private interactive penguin viewing complete with your own personal ranger at the world famous 'Penguin Parade'. This takes place at sunset and groups get to watch the march of the Little Penguins from an exclusive area on the beach. Each guest is supplied with a warm waterproof jacket, mat to sit on and a headset for the live commentary from their personal ranger.
Your evening finishes with a fish and chip dinner at the Jetty Restaurant in the township of Cowes at Phillip Island, returning to Melbourne late evening.
