Phillip Island Whale Watching cruises

Experience the thrill of whale watching around Phillip Island and Wilsons Promontory, two of Victoria’s most scenic coastal regions. From May to October, southern right and humpback whales migrate through these rich waters, often coming close to shore. Join a guided cruise from Rhyll or embark on a wildlife tour from the Prom to spot whales breaching, tail-slapping and gliding alongside the boat. Along the way, you might also see playful dolphins, seals and a variety of seabirds. Land-based viewing is also popular, with excellent vantage points at Cape Woolamai, The Nobbies, and the lookouts along Wilsons Promontory’s rugged coast. For a deeper dive into conservation and community, don’t miss the Island Whale Festival in July. Whether by sea or land, whale watching in Phillip Island and Wilsons Prom offers unforgettable moments and a deeper connection to Australia’s spectacular marine life.
