Phillip Island is the destination. the Nature Parks are the multimillion-dollar, world renowned natural attraction. this is the tour to experience, in-depth all that is the Phillip Island Natural Parks. Converse with a knowledgeable resident guide and have all the questions answered.

​

The Phillip Island Nature Parks covers a multiple large land masses and so we will make every effort to avoid crowds as we explore some of the less frequented spots at times least likely to run into other tours. This is the value of touring with a local guide! The Penguin Parade is always busy especially in summer. Be aware that over 3000 people visit per day in peak seasons so it can be a bit hectic. We will take you to lesser known spots to get the understanding of the little penguin and its life cycle prior to visiting the Parade.

​

N.B: If you would like to purchase penguin viewing tickets for either - Penguin Plus, Underground Viewing, Guided Ranger  Tour or Ultimate Penguin Tour, please contact Dianne for the extra costs for these tickets. Also you can add the Antartic Journey at the Nobbies

General Questions:

1. Is there are minimum age requirement? 
   There is no minimum age but we do not offer child fares so every passenger is considered an adult. For family charters that include child rates please email or call us. We are happy to work with you and your friends and family to structure the perfect tour
    

2. What sort of clothing should I wear? 
   Phillip Island has been said to have “four seasons in four hours” but sometimes you may experience all of these seasons in an hour so come prepared for a cooler climate. It is easier to take off layers than be cold. Remember where there are seals and penguins it can get cold! Even in summer. Wear loose clothing to be comfortable and wear flat covered in shoes so you will enjoy walking in nature.
    

3. What happens if the weather is bad? 
   If the weather is bad you will experience it – hot and cold, wet and dry. This tour is all about getting close to nature. We will do our best to visit sheltered areas (the value of a local guide) and utilise the indoor areas at the Parks if desired, but come dressed for getting into nature
    

4. How do I get to Phillip Island? 
   I do not pick up and return to Melbourne. You need to either use a car, the Vline bus or the passenger ferry to get to Phillip Island. Call or email to enquire. Alternatively you can view www.diannesventureyours.com.au/getting-here for more information. Please be aware that public transport options require you to stay overnight on Phillip Island. Public transport does not coincide with the closure of the Penguin Parade. If you wish to stay overnight on Phillip Island we can make recommendations so call or email us – or do your own web searching. There is a multitude of options from five-star to back-packer styles.
