After your cruise, you will have some leisure time in Cowes. As Phillip Island’s main commercial center, Cowes is a lively area filled with restaurants, cafes, breweries, and boutique shops.

You will have the freedom to explore at your own pace. Our guide will highlight the key spots and then give you the liberty to roam.

As the sun sets, your ranger-guide will share information about these adorable creatures, and you will witness thousands of them making their way onto the beach and up the hillside.
