Phillip Island with Kids: A handy holiday guide
Phillip Island
Explore Phillip Island with your family
There’s so much to do on Phillip Island, and it’s all less than two hours from Melbourne! The island is bigger than you think: Cape Woolamai is its most southern point, with cliff-top walks showcasing crashing waves, sea stacks and bird life.
The west coast is home to The Nobbies, a fabulously named headland with dramatic scenery, a blowhole, and Australia’s largest fur seal colony. Wildlife Coast Cruises offers two-hour trips to the offshore Seal Rocks, before you cap off your day by watching hordes of waddling penguins.
The famous Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit is here, plus the Antarctic Journey at The Nobbies Centre, the crazy Amaze’N Things, and the Chocolate Factory.
