Discover the best of Melbourne before heading to Phillip Island for the famous Penguin Parade.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive through Melbourne's cultural and historic landmarks – see the elegant Collins Street, vibrant Hosier Lane, and the iconic Flinders Street Station. Enjoy views of Federation Square, the Shrine of Remembrance, MCG forecourt, and the stunning Gothic spires of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Pass the grand Old Treasury Building and Parliament House, and soak in the beauty of Fitzroy Gardens, home to Cook's Cottage. You'll also get a glimpse of Little Lon's colourful past, the historic Old Melbourne Gaol, lively Lygon Street, and the bustling Queen Victoria Market. Finish the city portion with a drive past the Exhibition Buildings and Melbourne Museum.
In the afternoon, head to Phillip Island to explore The Nobbies, where dramatic coastal views and Seal Rocks await. As the sun sets, experience the unforgettable Penguin Parade, where hundreds of little penguins return from the sea and waddle ashore. A must-do experience for wildlife lovers, this tour blends Melbourne's rich culture with one of Australia's most iconic natural attractions.
