Phillip Island offers you the chance to see some of the world class attractions in just one day. Planning a day tour is not hard and you can always take your pick of your favorite items or according to your family\u2019s preference. But the first step is planning and booking a cheap flight to Melbourne<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Phillip Island has everything for all age groups and interests. Your tour will start with helping you develop some taste for cheese with Grippland\u2019s cheeses and when you accompany that with a trip to the Phillip Island Winery what can be more perfect? The Winery is set in a rural location with breathtaking views of the Berry\u2019s Beach and Bass Strait. Along with fresh cheese you will also get to taste other local products like olives, honey, chutney, olive oil, and cherries.<\/p>\n

If you have a sweet tooth then visit the Phillip Island Chocolate Factory and watch how the experts make the finest chocolate. Here you will also get to learn all about cocoa harvesting and the children will get to visit \u2018Panny\u2019s Amazing World of Chocolate\u2019 where they will find beautiful murals and amazing life size statues entirely made from chocolate.<\/p>\n

The animal contact will begin with a trip to the Island\u2019s Koala Conservation Center where you can get up-close and personal with the cute and cuddly koala bears. Make friends with the cubs and walk among the tree-tops and watch the wild koala bears live in action. The stop will be at the southwestern tip of Phillip Island. This is the most scenic spot in the whole island as it provides panoramic views of the group of group of rugged rocks that rise out from the sea and are abundant in marine life. These are called the \u2018Nobbies\u2019 and also home to Australia\u2019s largest population of fur seals at the Seal Rocks. Make sure you have your cameras ready and capture these amazing creatures as they gambol about in the water and land to get some sun.<\/p>\n

By dusk you will be able to watch the world\u2019s smallest penguins march onto land as they waddle ashore from a long day of fishing at sea. They will emerge dramatically from the surf as soon as the sun gets ready to set and frolic about the sandy beach in their own private penguin parade fashion. This enchanting sight is not be missed and worth the visit. So bring your whole family down to witness nature at its best right here in Melbourne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
