Tour Description

Tours begin in Australia’s most European city, Melbourne. Known for its café culture, winding alleyways, and beautiful architecture, Melbourne exemplifies Australia’s past and future. The “Penguins to Prom” tour starts with a drive along Port Philip Bay coastline on the way to Mornington Peninsula, were we will take a Dolphin Cruise for 3 fantastic hours (Swim with the Dolphins if you wish) and after the cruise we will have lunch at one of Mornington Peninsula famous Wineries. Observe Melbourne’s skyline in the far distance as the tour heads to Philip Island, home of the famous “little penguins” who emerge from the sea each day at dusk to return to their nests in the sand. Hundreds of these miniature Blue-and-White penguins waddle across the sand, creating a rare wildlife show for visitors to observe. We also visit the Koala conservation centre where you can get up close and personal with Koalas. After a day of sighseeing in the region and the sea, the tour returns to one of two luxury resorts in nearby Inverloch—Silver Water, RAVC and for private tour groups we stay at The Beachcomber Inverloch., Tour includes twin accommodation at either resort.

The Australian experience continues on Day 2 as the tour heads to one of Victoria’s most loved nature reserves—Wilson’s Promontory National Park, affectionately known to locals as the Prom. See wildlife exclusive to the Australian bush: wallabies, kangaroos, wombats, and other beautiful birdlife. Experience fern gullies and a stringybark forest during a trek to Mt. Bishop Summitt, a moderate 3.7 km track with beautiful coastal views from the top. A rewarding picnic lunch will be prepared before leaving the park and heading back to the big city.

Experience the best of both worlds—big city and rural life, all in the span of a few days. Charge for the “Penguins to Prom” tour is $680.00 per person, which includes admission to the Dolphin Cruise , Penguin Parade, Koala Conservation Center, Winery Lunch and dinner and park entree to Wilson’s Promontory. Accommodation at either luxury resort or The Beachcomber in Inverloch, as well as transportation, is also included in the price. Minimum 2 Pax Maximum 7 Pax
