Hike & Seek invites you to join them on a small group day tour to Phillip Island, located in the beautiful Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. This guided nature tour offers the opportunity to explore the island''s stunning natural beauty and unique wildlife.

The day begins with a scenic drive to Cape Woolamai, where you''ll embark on an easy to moderate 6.8km hike around the Nature Park of Phillip Island. Along the way, you''ll take in breathtaking views of the Bass Strait, spot wallabies, echidnas, and shearwater birds, and even have the chance to see whales during the winter months.

After the hike, you''ll enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner in Cowes, followed by a visit to the Phillip Island Koala Reserve. Here, you''ll stroll through eucalyptus woodland and come face-to-face with koalas in their natural habitat. The unique tree top boardwalks and close viewing areas allow for an up-close and personal experience with these amazing creatures.

Next, you''ll visit The Nobbies for an easy stroll along the boardwalk to discover breathtaking coastline views and the impressive thundering blowhole. This area is home to Australia''s largest seal colony, little penguins, and silver gulls.

To finish the day, you''ll take a waddle on the wild side and see hundreds, sometimes thousands, of penguins emerge from the surf at sunset at the world-famous Penguin Parade. This experience is a wildlife lover''s dream!
