Everyone knows about Phillip Island, right?

They’ve got the famous penguin parade, the super-hot Hemsworth brothers Chris and Liam grew up here, and it’s the home of the world-renowned Grand Prix circuit.

But there are some amazing experiences on ‘The Island’ (as the locals call it) that you may not know existed. Here’s our top 5, with special offers for most available until the end of June 2018.

Scenic Flights and Seafood Delights

Fancy a helicopter flight to a crayfish lunch? It’s not something you’re going to do every weekend, but for a special occasion and to seriously impress, this one is the bomb!

If you don’t mind dropping a cool $630 for two to experience a luxurious lunch with a difference, then look no further than the Seafood Sensation aboard Phillip Island Helicopters.

Climb aboard your private helicopter and experience a flight to Wings & Fins Restaurant, Bar & Bistro (made famous on The Hotplate TV show). Dine on famously fresh Flinders Island seafood while taking in the gorgeous views of French Island.

Once you’ve had your fill, like a rock star hop back on board your helicopter for the scenic flight back to The Island.

Boutique Day Tour 

If you haven’t yet explored what there is to do on Phillip Island and you’d like to see it all, then this day tour is perfect.

Boutique tour operator Dianne’s Venture Tours is offering a Phillip Island Boutique Penguin Venture Tour for $435 per person, available until June 30.

Enjoy a fast boat cruise to the seal colony and experience the seals up close, then back it up with more wildlife at the Phillip Island Wildlife Park.  Hop aboard a heli flight and experience 16 minutes of pure joy and sightseeing from above.

Dine on a delicious gourmet lunch before heading to the famous Phillip Island Penguin Parade where you will view these gorgeous little creatures from the underground viewing area.

Want a taste of Phillip Island, then best start your day with Phillip Island Food & Wine Tours.

Glamping

Phillip Island Glamping offers a touch of luxury to the great outdoors. Great for couples, glamping is the IN thing, you know after you’ve had enough of hostels in Byron Bay.

All you need to do is book a site at one of the company’s preferred campgrounds and the kind folk at Phillip Island Glamping will do the rest. Pack your bags and arrive at a beautiful bell tent pitched and complete, fully furnished with comfy bed, gorgeous rugs, and furnishings.
