Experience the magic of Melbourne and enjoy two destinations in a single day! Our expert guide will take you to some of Melbourne's most iconic buildings and cultural landmarks before heading to Phillip Island to witness the world-famous penguin parade. Melbourne, a city bursting with lush gardens, vibrant restaurants, charming alleys, and a buzzing art scene, is waiting for you. We'll kick things off with iconic photo spots, like the MCG forecourt, Hosier Lane, Fitzroy Gardens, and the Shrine of Remembrance. These aren't just places; they're your ticket to unforgettable moments and Instagram-worthy snapshots. But hold onto your hats, because after the Melbourne buzz, it's time to switch gears and immerse yourself in nature. Walk along the scenic coastal boardwalks at The Nobbies and as the sun dips below the horizon, get ready for the grand finale—the Penguin Parade. It's a natural spectacle that'll leave you in awe.

My tour guide, Aleks, was amazing! I had such an enjoyable time. She made the trip fun, informative, and safe, with plenty of great insights throughout. I’d choose another Go West tour again.

We joined the pinguin parade trip in Phillip Island today and it was amazing. Despite the weather, everything was perfect. Our host, Bluey, is so attentive, informative, fun n quite hilarious as well. We thank him for the unforgetful day!

Wonderful tour to see penguins. Expect a long day but worth it try and get Chris as driver. Excellent

This is one of the best day tour I joined. Robbo explained everything, went down with us to make sure the group isn’t lost. And communicates so clearly. Not rushing through the itinerary which is great!
