12 UNFORGETTABLE Things to do on PHILLIP ISLAND, Melbourne

Embark on a spectacular short trip from Melbourne and discover 12 awesome things to do in Phillip Island that need to be added to your bucket list.
Some of the best Phillip Island attractions are found outdoors - the Penguin Parade, Woolamai Beach, Rhyll Mangrove Walk, Smiths Beach Phillip Island, The Nobbies, exploring Cowes township and scenic cruises where you can spot seals and dolphins in their natural habitat are must-dos for your itinerary.
Outdoor scenery aside, it's also home to iconic activities like the Phillip Island Chocolate Factory, Amazing Things Phillip Island, Antarctic Journey, and the brand Clip 'n Climb indoor climbing centre.
To save a ton of money on Phillip Island Nature Parks attractions, we highly recommend getting the 4 Parks Pass, in which the Penguin Parade, Antarctic Journey, Koala Conservation Centre and Churchill Island Heritage Farm are included.

Oh, and food? The island definitely does not fall short on mouthwatering cuisine. We devoured a scrumptious seafood paella at Citrus & Vine, inhaled San Remo Fishermans Co-op famous fish and chips, and fell into a food coma at Cheeky Goose Cafe after chowing down their famous fried chicken and slow-cooked ribs.
We hope you enjoy our Phillip Island tour - it's one of our favourite spots in Victoria to holiday with kids. We can guarantee that you'll never run out of things to do on Phillip Island and you'll find yourself returning time and time again to explore and discover more of all the beauty that it has to offer.

[@travelwithdebandnick]

Wow i didnt realise that there was so much to do on Phillip Island. I remember as a kid, going to San Remo to visit my auntie and uncle and seeing the penguins whilst we were there and i remember thinking how there was literally nothing at all to do, but there's a few things around :) so cool :)

[@odc2566]

Wow. You guys are awesome. Keep them coming. Thank you 👌

[@sjcobra84]

Phillip Island will always have a place in my soul. Really loved it as a kid. Went here for camp twice during high school. Had a day during a really hot summer. Got thrown into the water and it was outsanding. Wishful thinking, I could spend a whole summer at this place. 🤣

[@izzyy6344]

[@AnSEpisodes]

Never thought that there's so many awesome things to do in Phillip Island, the Amaze'N Things is cool, and what?? just also knew that Koala is found only on the East Coast, thought all across OZ! but yes the same size as Japan? that's huge!

[@PuriandSue]

Beaches for me!! Clip and climb is good combination of fun and exercise! I probably would cry if I were your son's age haha! What a climber! Calamari with chipsssss! You've got a little future food vlogger there, YUMMY!!!

[@nickandhelmi]

oh i would enjoy antartic journey guys ":D

[@SantosChronicles]

This is so cool you partnered with Phillip Island. This is just so pretty. I remember seeing your IG post. Optical Illusions are so fun. We went to one called The Mystery Spot. Party at the time machine. You guys are just so fun!!!!

[@HangryByNature]

It's such an amazing day or weekend trip from Melbourne. Haha thank you - seriously, come down for a visit soon!

[@SantosChronicles]

Hangry By Nature We are looking to come down in 2-3 years. We’ll definitely let you know when we are down there.

[@TheWorldnUs]

Sure they're real koalas guys 🤣 The Nobbies is such lovely spot! I found it interesting seeing some of the old newspaper clippings they had on the wall of the cafe. That's cool they give you some of their footage for the Penguin Parade. We were spewing we couldn't capture any footage. I got one sneaky shot of the first penguin the swam up 😉 One day we'll be back on Phillip Island. We only spent the one night there. Definitely not long enough!

[@SantosChronicles]

Hey, here’s the climbing wall you were talking about. This looks pretty fun. I like how you can repel. Your kids are machines climbing!!! We went a similar 1800 farm with Sheep Shearing. Can’t to show this video to my wife. She love you guys also. Great job!!

[@HangryByNature]

Aww thanks so much for showing us to your wife! I remember she commented on our last video. She's SO lovely! We love watching you guys as well. Such amazing energy and a beautiful warm-hearted family!

[@SantosChronicles]

Hangry By Nature Thank you so much. We appreciate all the support for our little channel that could. I was telling my wife how we do similar things but the style and information is different. I see you guys as a polished and informative Channel. While our channel as a quirky channel that has in the moment reactions. Wonder if that even made sense 😀.

[@FoodandFootprints]

Beautiful sunset! 8:19

[@HangryByNature]

It was mind-blowing!

[@lauriekeats8538]

Rhyll is the place to stay, quiet, up market, beautiful.

[@HangryByNature]

Thanks for the tips Laurie =)

[@PuriandSue]

Koalas are too cute! Lol fake one :P Ah, like Tina, I thought Koala is on the entire continent of Australia!

[@wade2922]

The Koala needs a Monster energy drink! 😂

[@SantosChronicles]

The real Koala is too cute. Love to see it live there in Australia. Philip Island is so cool. After we go to Australia, the last continent to visit is Antartica. What a complete guide you guys give.

[@nickandhelmi]

damn kids they learn fast! spiderman training!

[@FoodandFootprints]

“I hope I didn’t offend any kangaroos” 😂

[@HangryByNature]

Haha just wanted to be clear. We love 'em too.

[@oussamaelhaj3483]

You guys are sooo amazing. I love you so much. I have learnt a lot from this video and all the other ones too. I have recently followed yr page and I have been addicted to you hahaha. I have a question please, how many days at Phillip Island do I need to finish all these 12 attractions?

[@HangryByNature]

Thanks so much! Made us happy! For all 12 you could do it over a weekend Fri to Sunday but it would be rather rushed. Hope that helps =)

[@nickandhelmi]

wow clip and climb! anyone scared of heights :D? haha damn thats tall

[@AnSEpisodes]

wow that beef short ribs! looks Bomb! mouth watering here too...how long do you guys recommend to stay Phillip Island for holiday?

[@HangryByNature]

It's a great weekend getaway, 3 - 4 days to really get a feel of the whole place.

[@sarahashley5360]

Being a local when I was little, there is so much more you have missed out on hun! I would like to share a little secret spots that are on Phillip Island & only the old locals know about! Xxx

[@sharavanathevanpillay8469]

Hey Sarah could you share your spots ? Heading over to Philip Island in May :)

[@tarshnottrash1483]

Me too but this made me so nostalgic anyway- so much has changed since I grew up there but it’s still as beautiful as ever

[@yayam7788]

???

[@TheMamuchos]

he said "it is a fake Koala" hahahaha

[@HangryByNature]

hahhaa our little raffy, always says the funniest stuff.

[@reeshmaali4797]

hi dear, me and family decide to visit melbourne on Aug. your video helps alot with useful info. may I kniw for 4 park pass include which park? can we cover Philip Island within 1 day or we need to sleep over 1 night. your reply is very much appreciated

[@yayam7788]

Most of these people won't answer. They get money from views not by answering questions 😂

[@nickandhelmi]

but what if your camera had no flash, like us just video - we had the same problem in tasmania we couldnt film :(

[@FoodandFootprints]

Koalas can only be found on the east coast? Interesting fact!

[@HangryByNature]

Haha yup. Did not know that either. Enlightened.

[@stanlim2851]

Throw in Cape Woolamai and The Pinnacles.

[@nickandhelmi]

chocolate factory lol XD

[@justana3507]

Just come to Adelaide we have KI

[@AussieOutlaw]

SADLY the Chips are just Standard Frozen you can buy anywhere and has become the norm in most places

[@shahyana9220]

How many days to complete all this itinerary?

[@HangryByNature]

We were there for 3 nights / 4 days

[@nickandhelmi]

LMAO IS THAT A TIME MACHINE OR a dance booth

[@wednesjul]

How many days you have spent on this trip?😊

[@cuongbuitung1679]

I like you

[@petephone9353]

Did any of the wild life staff tell you off for touching a penguin just to get s pretty thumbnail for the video?

[@nickandhelmi]

HE LOOKS SO EDIBLE, WHAT THE.. LOLOLOL

[@wbadventures2024]

I came here to see how you would pronounce the township of “Cowes”

[@lauriekeats8538]

Captured Phillip Island very well. Bust don't waste your time or your money on the chocolate factory, massively overpriced ordinary chocolate and the place smells weird.

[@arunmjrklarr]

Just wasted 15 minutes on this poorly made video

[@fantaman7167]

Poorly made??? What the hell this ain’t poorly

[@yayam7788]

Video is ok but the lady's accent is a pain
