About this tour

What to expect
You'll depart in a private vehicle heading towards Wilson's Promontory, stopping in Korumburra for tea before a moderate walk through mixed forest and fern gullies up Mt Bishop. The summit delivers coastal views where your picnic awaits. After lunch, you'll drive to Phillip Island to scout The Nobbies and Cape Woolami on foot, then settle in for the Penguin Plus experience as dusk falls and the little penguins emerge from the ocean and shuffle across the sand to their burrows. Expect around three hours of walking across the day, mostly on established tracks.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required for forest walking and coastal paths. Wear sturdy footwear and bring a light layer—coastal winds pick up by afternoon. The tour ends after dark; your guide will suggest dining options on Phillip Island or back in Melbourne. Infant seats available upon request.
