Overview
Make Phillip Island your destination and the rest will fall into place. Natural wonders, iconic wildlife and island attractions are all within easy reach at this family-friendly destination, just two hours’ drive from Melbourne.
As the days go by
Cruise around the Phillip Island Touring Route to make the most of your island getaway. Travel time between the island's great attractions is rarely more than fifteen minutes, which puts you in the box seat for a fulfilling day of sightseeing. Take in some water sports and within a few minutes find yourself at a chocolate tasting or getting lost in a maze.
Take a day out of your Phillip Island holiday, or come up from Melbourne to drive around and see all the sights. Explore magnificent coastal scenery, catch a few waves, visit the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit and see birds, seals, and the iconic little penguins on their nightly parade.
