Top Phillip Island Nature and Wildlife Tours

Get up close to the wildlife of Phillip Island and discover Australia’s largest colony of Australian fur seals on this catamaran cruise. Watch seals lounging on the rocks and swimming in the bays; spot seabirds swooping overhead and look out for dolphins, whales, and penguins as you float around the island. Finally, tuck into afternoon tea on board as you listen to the live commentary and learn more about the island’s varied wildlife.

Spotting whales off Phillip Island means getting out onto the open water at the right time of year, which is hard to arrange yourself. Head out on a winter cruise along the migration route past Cape Woolamai, where humpback and southern right whales pass through. Watch for whales breaching offshore, and keep an eye out for dolphins, seals, and seabirds along the way.
