Additional Information

Step into the wonder of Melbourne and journey through two locations in one day! A skilled guide will lead you to Melbourne’s landmark buildings and cultural touchstones and then steer you towards Phillip Island, home of the globally renowned penguin procession.

Melbourne, a metropolis teeming with verdant parks, lively eateries, enchanting alleyways and an electrifying art environment, is ready to greet you.

Our journey starts with popular picture locations, such as the MCG forecourt, Luna Park, the Royal Botanic Gardens and Shrine of Remembrance. These locales are not just destinations; they’re gateways to lasting memories and picture-perfect exposures.

But brace yourselves, because subsequent to the Melbourne excitement, we transition into the tranquillity of nature. Relish the scenic sea-view paths at The Nobbies and just as dusk settles, prepare for the climactic conclusion—the Parade of Penguins.

This raw display of nature is guaranteed to inspire awe and wonder within you.

Love the Penguins!!! - I took two tours with GoWest. Bella was my favorite tour guide. She made it a point to stop and make sure that we got our photos in. She took the time to walk with us through the sanctuary and gave us awesome tips to make the most of our time at each location.
