Private Phillip Island Day Tour

About this tour

This 11–12 hour private tour combines Phillip Island's major wildlife and motorsport attractions into a single outing. You'll catch the nightly penguin return at the Parade, scan the coast at Nobbies Point for fur seals and birdlife, get nose-to-nose with kangaroos and koalas at the Wildlife Park, and walk the legendary Grand Prix Circuit. An air-conditioned vehicle and guide handle the logistics; you bring the curiosity.

Highlights

• Little penguins waddling ashore at dusk
• Fur seals and sea cliffs at Nobbies Point
• Hands-on time with kangaroos and koalas
• Grand Prix Circuit lap and racing history
• Full-day private vehicle and guide

What to expect

Expect a packed day moving between four core stops. The Penguin Parade—the tour's centrepiece—happens at sunset when hundreds of penguins emerge from the ocean; bring a jacket and patience for crowds. Nobbies Point offers dramatic clifftop walks and wildlife spotting. The Wildlife Park lets you feed and photograph animals up close. The Grand Prix Circuit provides racing context and track-side views. Refreshments are limited to soft drinks, water, and snacks, so plan lunch independently or eat beforehand.

Good to know

Book the Penguin Parade slot in advance; it sells out, especially in summer. Wear layers and closed shoes for coastal wind. Prams and infant seats available. The day hinges on evening penguin timing, so factor in lengthy standing or sitting during the Parade.
