About this tour
Spend three days exploring Victoria's most iconic landscapes: the dramatic coastal cliffs of the Great Ocean Road, the little penguins returning to Phillip Island at dusk, and Melbourne's laneways and landmarks on a bonus city loop. Travel in a climate-controlled coach with expert guides and multilingual audio support. Small groups (max 24 people) mean you'll actually hear commentary over engine noise. Breakfast is included; you arrange your own other meals and accommodation.
Highlights
- Twelve Apostles limestone formations and Loch Ard Gorge
- Watch penguin colonies waddle ashore at Phillip Island after sunset
- Moonlit Sanctuary native wildlife encounter
- Complimentary Melbourne city orientation tour
- Air-conditioned coach with onboard WiFi and 16-language app
What to expect
Day one takes you west along the Great Ocean Road, stopping at natural landmarks and beaches. Day two focuses on Phillip Island: daytime wildlife spotting at Moonlit Sanctuary, then an evening gathering for the penguin parade as light fades. The penguins emerge from the ocean in their own time—no rushing, no photography allowed. Day three is your Melbourne city tour, covering main attractions at a relaxed pace. Guides are chatty and knowledgeable. Groups stay manageable. Breakfast appears each morning; pack cash for other meals or eat at designated stops.
