Seal Watching

With an extensive coastline and a tropical climate, Phillip Island boasts a perfectly tranquil setting throughout the year. This is one reason that the island is home to a number of wildlife and birds.

Seal Rocks in Phillip Island have one of the largest populations of Australian fur seals. So, if you are on a holiday to Phillip Island, then make sure you take a cruise to view thousands of these amazing animals at Seal Rocks.

Most tours commence their journey from Cowes Jetty, located in the island’s northern part. Once all passengers are aboard, your cruise will travel around the island to Seal Rocks, which is located on the southwestern tip of Phillip Island.

There is so much in store for you on your 2-hour cruise, where you will see over 5000 fur Seals swimming in the water and lazing on the beach and surrounding rocks. View the rugged coastline and get up close to these magnificent creatures living in one of Australia’s largest colonies of fur seals.

Your view from the boat will give you some outstanding photo opportunities. For those who want to relax, simply sit back in a comfortable seat as you drift down the coast and enjoy the scenery. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for the many other animals who live around this area, including dolphins, penguins, and a huge number of sea birds.

Most tours offer complimentary morning or afternoon tea, and some offer transport to and from Melbourne. Check the individual tours for details.
