Top Victoria Pack Animal Tours

Discover the natural delights of Phillip Island with an eco-tour from Melbourne. See the iconic Brighton Beach bathing boxes, visit the beach and take some time to admire these historic landmarks. Visit the Moonlit Sanctuary Conservation Park for an up-close encounter with koalas and other Australian wildlife. Finish the day at a local beach where you can watch hundreds of some of the world's tiniest penguins waddle out of the ocean and across the sand to their burrows.

Discover the rugged mountains and wildflower valleys of the Grampians National Park on this full-day tour from Melbourne. Once there, learn about Aboriginal culture, have lunch in Halls Gap (own expense), then climb to the Boroka Lookout for fantastic views of the Mt. William and Serra Ranges. That’s not all: hike to see the dramatic Balconies; view the idyllic Mackenzie Falls, and spot wild kangaroos roaming through the valleys.

Soar over the Yarra Valley during the golden light of sunrise during an unforgettable hot air balloon flight. Float over the scenic landscape of gentle rolling hills and vineyards as day breaks across this beloved winemaking region. Upgrade to enjoy hotel pickup and/or a delicious sparkling wine breakfast at Balgownie Estate after touching down back on solid ground.

At Living Legends, meet retired champion racehorses in a peaceful wooded setting just a short drive north of Melbourne. Come face-to-nuzzle with purebred racers now living out their golden years at the Woodland Historic Park, and learn about their legacies from a guide. There’s plenty more to explore, including an 1840s homestead cabin, walking trails, and bushland popular with wild kangaroos. Bring a picnic to enjoy under gum trees, or order a gourmet hamper from the Living Legends cafe.

Victoria’s favorite ski resort, Mt. Buller lies around a 3-hour drive from Melbourne. Skip the expense of car hire and the hassle of fitting mandatory snow chains and join this convenient tour, with a maximum of 11 travelers in total. You’ll enjoy a guided walk with views of snow-covered trees, but incidentals such as kit hire, ski or snowboard lessons, adult toboggan rental, and lift passes are at your expense.
