Lakes Coast Visitor Guide

PAGE 6 | LAKES COAST VISITOR GUIDE PHILLIP ISLAND Phillip Island is a fantastic autumn destination, where you’ll find yourself surrounded by beautiful beaches, rugged coastal scenery, and wildlife in abundance. One of the best ways to discover the island is from the water on a guided wildlife cruise. Wildlife Coast Cruises offers a variety of ocean journeys around this fantastic area. Sunset Cruise In the evening, you might like to take the opportunity to kick back with a local wine and some delicious appetisers aboard a Wildlife Coast Cruises’ Sunset Cruise. The cruise travels across the bay, taking in local birdlife, while the sun sets along this alluring coastline. To book or find out more about this Phillip Island cruise option, visit wildlifecoastcruises.com.au Cape Cruise As well as beautiful sunsets, there are lots of other stunning areas of Phillip Island to visit, including the rugged rocky cliffs of Cape Woolamai. The cape is iconic for its towering granite cliffs, caves, and remnants of an historic granite quarry, all surrounded by impressive turquoise waters. The Cape Cruise is a one-hour tour that takes you to view this scenic area. It departs from the historic San Remo fishing village (on the mainland side of the island bridge). After you return from your cruise, be sure to try the delicious fish ‘n’ chips at the local Fishermen’s Co-Op in San Remo, made using fresh flake straight off the boats. Seal Cruise If you’d love to see some cute marine life, jump on a Phillip Island Seal Cruise. This amazing tour gets you ‘up-close and personal’ with thousands of Australian fur seals at Australia’s largest breeding colony, Seal Rocks. The Phillip Island Seal Cruise, run by Wildlife Coast Cruises, takes you along the north-west side of the Island, past the Nobbies and Round Island. It’s a ‘must-do’ when visiting the Island.
