About this experience

Your experience Begin your journey from Melbourne Embark on an unforgettable afternoon as you depart Melbourne in a modern, air-conditioned coach, ready to explore some of Victoria’s premier coastal wildlife attractions. Your experienced local guide will share stories and insights about the region as you traverse picturesque landscapes and leave the city behind for the wild beauty of Phillip Island.
