1 day Phillip Island Tour
Written By Admin
This tour is all about showcasing the magnificent wildlife and scenery of this region of Victoria.
We visit Churchill Island to gain an insight into what life was like living on a farm in the early 1900’s. See a range of farm buildings, farm animals and beautiful views across to the mainland. .
At the Koala Conservation Centre we wander along an elevated boardwalk and see these amazing furry mammals in their natural habitat and have the opportunity to ask questions of the Rangers who manage the Centre.
We visit Swan Lake wetlands for the opportunity to spot different types of birdlife from the secluded hides on the shoreline. At the Nobbies we amber along the boardwalk and see silver gulls who nest here and views of the ocean across to seal rocks. With the aid of binoculars you may see some of Australia’s largest colony of fur seals as they relax on the rugged outcrop.
We’ll finish the day after sunset watching the little penguins make their way across the beach heading towards their nesting areas after spending their day hunting in the ocean. We’ll have a Park Ranger who will guide us through the penguin colony to the comfort of a Sky Box where you’ll have fantastic views across the beach.
