Visitors can join whale-watching cruises, explore the Whale Discovery Trail, and enjoy the stunning views from iconic beaches. The festival also features educational sessions, art installations, and activities for children.

Located just two hours from Melbourne, Phillip Island offers more than just whale watching. Visitors can explore local food and wineries, making it a perfect weekend escape.
