Melbourne Optional Tours (SIC Day Tours)
Great Ocean Road Day Tour
Tour depart: Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 08:00am to 05:00pm
Hugging 243 kilometres of dramatic coastline, the Great Ocean Road is one of Australia’s most scenic road journeys. The the 12 Apostles are the area’s main attraction, but as they say, it’s all about the journey not the destination. Travelling along this iconic route takes you through the spectacular scenery of the Surf Coast, Otway Rainforest and Shipwreck Coast, past quaint seaside towns and koalas dozing in eucalyptus canopies.
Our Great Ocean Road Tours whizz you through the highlights of this scenic stretch of road, including ample time to admire the 12 Apostles. You’ll be amazed as the Southern Ocean smashes against the towering limestone stacks, continuing to erode and shape the craggy coastline. How many Apostles are left standing is up for debate. But as the never-ending waves continue to crash against the natural pillars, who knows how long it will be before the next one falls?
Phillip Island Penguin Parade Day Tour
Tour depart: Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 12.00pm to Late Night
While most famous for its little penguin population and the annual Motor Grand Prix, there is much more to discover on Phillip Island than birds and bikes. Located 90 minutes south-east of Melbourne in Westernport Bay, the picturesque Phillip Island is a popular travel destination for nature lovers, families and foodies. Cross the San Remo bridge and enter a world of wild surf beaches, spectacular coastal walks, delicious regional produce and a wealth of wildlife.
But of course, it’s not a trip to Phillip Island without viewing the little penguins. Home to roughly 32,000 of these adorable seabirds, our Phillip Island Tours offer plenty of opportunities to observe them in their natural habitat. The best spot to watch them as they make their way home from a hard day at work (catching fish out at sea) is at the world-famous Penguin Parade. Take a seat on the beach and witness them cautiously exit the water and waddle up the beach to their home in the dunes. It’s an unforgettable wildlife experience that you just can’t miss!
Yarra Valley Gourmet Day Tour
Tour depart: Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 08:00am to 05:00pm
