Step back in time as you visit the Churchill Island Heritage Farm; spot koalas in their natural habitats at the Koala Conservation Centre; and tuck into a delicious afternoon tea (own expense).

Farming, surfing, and penguin parades make Phillip Island one of Victoria's most popular tourist destinations. With this tour, see a lot of what the island has to offer while letting someone else take care of planning and driving. Start with coastal sightseeing - heading off the island as far as the Kilcunda Coastal Reserve - and continue to seal colony lookouts, a cheese factory, a sheep farm, and more. Finish by watching penguins waddle home after sunset.
