Overview
Phillip Island is home to an astounding array of wildlife, including Australia's largest fur seal colony, the Little Penguins and cuddly koalas. Only 90 minutes from Melbourne, the island features spectacular coastal scenery, charming heritage and an abundance of wildlife.
With Australian Pacific Touring, enjoy getting close to koalas and kangaroos in their natural habitats before joining the Little Penguins at dusk as they emerge from the surf and waddle to their burrows. Each night at sunset the world's smallest penguins come ashore after a day's fishing at sea and it is truly a memorable natural wildlife experience. The elevated boardwalks and viewing stands allow you to enjoy all the action without disturbing them or their burrow homes. The Phillip Island Nature Park also offers three up-close ways to witness the Penguin spectacle.

Great Ocean Road - Testemonial by B. Crowhurst
Dear APT We took the Great Ocean Road Adventure tour in March of this year, I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful day. The coach was everything we expected with very comfortable seats, a fully equipped washroom and air-conditioning ( which was most welcome as it was a really hot day). The driver had so much knowledge and his commentary was really interesting and informative but also a lot of fun and a great sense of humour which we thoroughly enjoyed - a big thank you to Geoff for making our day so special My highlight was definitely the destination, finding out the history was wonderful but over and above this the magnificent views were absolutely spectacular and will be remembered for a very long time. Both my husband, son and I would recommend this tour to everyone, it was just that good. Keep up the excellent service!
Phillip Island Tour - Testemonial by David Newton (UK)
I recently took the APT 'Phillip Island Penguins and Wildlife' tour and had a grand day out. Warrock Cattle Farm, a Koala Conservation Centre and Nobbies fur seals were all stop-off points along the way and provided a great opportunity to take some priceless photographs. On arrival at the Penguins our driver Adrian had one spare ticket for the Penguins front viewing platform and fortunately for me I was handed the ticket. A fantastic day out was capped off with dinner in Cowes followed by a snooze on the drive back to Melbourne.
