Phillip Island group tour buses, the whole group together

The Penguin Parade, the coastline and the attractions — with the transport sorted end to end.

Phillip Island is a classic Melbourne day out, and it's at its best when the whole group experiences it together. We charter coaches to the island and plan the day around your group — the Penguin Parade, the beaches, the wildlife parks — so everyone's on the same schedule and no one's stuck driving.

From the city to the island and back

We handle the run down to Phillip Island and home again, timed around the day's highlights — and the Penguin Parade timing in particular, which is the centrepiece for most groups. Popular with schools, families and tour groups alike.

These are private charters for your whole group — we hire out the coach and driver, not individual seats, and we are not a guided-tour company.

Common questions

Yes — the evening viewing is what most groups plan the day around, and it moves with sunset through the year. Tell us your date and we will work the departure and the return back from it. You book the tickets; we handle the transport.

On a charter, yes. The coach and driver are yours for the day rather than shared with another group, so bags can stay on board between stops.

Around two hours each way, depending on where you start and the traffic out through the south-east. We will give you a realistic pick-up time once we know your departure point.

Tell us where you need to be.

Share your trip and we'll put together a clear, fair quote — usually within the day.
