Island Whales
Phillip Island welcomes the annual arrival of our whales!
Witness the annual arrival of some of the ocean’s most majestic creatures as our coastal waters play host to humpback and southern right whales and even the occasional killer whales from May to September.
In just under two hours from Melbourne, Phillip Island is home to 101km2 of magic to be discovered. From going in search of whales, to enjoying a smooth red at a cosy wine bar and taking to the skies on an exhilarating scenic helicopter ride, whichever direction you head there’s fun to be found.
