About this activity

Two of Victoria's biggest icons, two unhurried days — the Twelve Apostles and the penguins, done properly.

Enjoy the two most popular day tours from Melbourne in a small group of up to 11 passengers and package these two day trips together to get extra value and make the most of your time in Melbourne. On one day, you will travel to the iconic Great Ocean Road where your guide will take you to the best hiding spots for koalas and kangaroos and give you time to take in the incredible scenery. On your Phillip Island day trip, the famous penguin parade will lure you to the island but the Phillip Island Tour with Oceania Tours will allow you to discover so much more, including: Moonlit Sanctuary, the Nobbies, Woolamai Surf beach (time permitting) and of course, the island’s black tie gala event: the Penguin Parade.

Pick up and drop off to your Melbourne hotel is included for both days, accommodation is not included.
