Overview
Departing Melbourne at around midday, this small group day tour encapsulates all of the region's world class travel destinations.
Leaving Melbourne we make our way to the amazing Australian Garden at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Cranbourne. Enjoy a guided eco tour to learn about the Australian Garden, Australian plants & Australian people.
From here we proceed directly to Phillip Island for a stop at the sensational Phillip Island Chocolate Factory. Watch the chocolatiers at work & enjoy complimentary samples as well as a wander through the Amazing World of Chocolate to see some fascinating displays about this most popular of foodstuffs and how it is created.
From here we'll head to the famous Koala Conservation Centre to meet some of the friendly locals. We'll walk among the treetops and view the numerous wild koalas up close at this iconic wildlife attraction.
A visit to Point Grant and The Nobbies gives us an opportunity to enjoy views over Westernport Bay and Bass Strait, including Seal Rocks, home to Australia's largest population of fur seals.
And then it's onwards to the main event, where just after dark every night the world's smallest penguins waddle ashore after spending the day fishing out at sea. You'll be truly enchanted as the stars of the show emerge from the surf and pass right before your eyes on their journey back to their homes. Your guide will ensure you are able to get the very best vantage point to enjoy the Penguin Parade and will help to keep you toasty warm with a complimentary hot cuppa.
After the parade we allow plenty of time to explore the Visitor Centre before beginning our own journey back to Melbourne. On the homeward journey our industry-first personal video service allows customer to enjoy a movie of their choice on their individual entertainment unit.
With drop off right back to your inner city accommodation, you'll remember this day as a true highlight of your Australian holiday.
