Phillip Island Tour – A Luxury Escape with Melbourne City Chauffeur
Looking for a memorable day trip from Melbourne that combines breathtaking coastal scenery, unique wildlife, and world-famous attractions? A Phillip Island tour offers all of this and more — and when you travel in a chauffeur-driven luxury vehicle from Melbourne City Chauffeur, the journey becomes just as unforgettable as the destination.
Located just 140 km southeast of Melbourne, Phillip Island is a premier tourist spot known for its dramatic coastlines, charming towns, and iconic Penguin Parade. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering its charm, a private Phillip Island tour ensures you travel in comfort, avoid crowded buses, and experience the highlights at your own pace.
Why Take a Private Phillip Island Tour?
1. Tailored Itinerary
Unlike rigid group tours, a private tour gives you the freedom to explore the places that interest you most. Want more time at the beach or an extended stop at the Koala Conservation Reserve? Your chauffeur can adjust the schedule to suit your preferences.
2. Travel in Comfort and Style
With Melbourne City Chauffeur, you’ll ride in a luxury vehicle — such as a European sedan or spacious SUV — equipped with premium features for a smooth, relaxing journey.
3. Avoid the Crowds
A private tour allows you to visit popular attractions during off-peak hours and explore hidden gems that are often missed on large group tours.
4. Door-to-Door Service
Enjoy pickup and drop-off from your home, hotel, or the airport. No need to find parking, navigate maps, or wait in line — we take care of the logistics so you can focus on the experience.
Top Attractions on a Phillip Island Tour
A day on Phillip Island offers a mix of nature, wildlife, and coastal scenery. Here are the highlights you can enjoy on your tour:
● Penguin Parade
Phillip Island is world-renowned for its Penguin Parade, where hundreds of Little Penguins waddle ashore at sunset. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s perfect for families, couples, and wildlife lovers. We recommend booking upgraded viewing options such as Penguins Plus or Underground Viewing for a closer look.
● Phillip Island Wildlife Park
Get up close with native Australian animals including kangaroos, emus, wombats, and koalas. A great stop for families and international visitors alike.
● Koala Conservation Reserve
Walk through elevated boardwalks and spot koalas in their natural environment. This peaceful setting offers a great opportunity for photography and relaxation.
● Nobbies Centre and Seal Rocks
Explore the dramatic western tip of the island, where clifftop boardwalks offer panoramic views of the Bass Strait. You might even spot Australia’s largest colony of fur seals.
● Churchill Island Heritage Farm
Step back in time and experience a piece of Australian history. This working heritage farm features historic buildings, gardens, and daily farming demonstrations.
● Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit
Motorsport fans can visit the famous track, home to major racing events including MotoGP and Superbike World Championship. Check out the museum and go-kart track for extra fun.

This is the highest point on Phillip Island and features spectacular coastal walks and golden beaches. It’s a great spot for hikers and photographers.
