A new way to experience Phillip Island is here - and it’s making island adventures easier, more flexible, and a whole lot more fun.
The Phillip Island Explorer by Local Way Tours is a small-group, hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus that connects visitors to the best attractions, nature spots and local gems across the island. Running throughout the summer and beyond, it’s your ticket to seeing more, doing more and staying a little longer.

With one easy all-day pass, you can jump on and off as many times as you like — whether you’re visiting for the day or soaking up a weekend getaway. The route takes in major highlights like San Remo, The Nobbies, Koala Conservation Reserve, Churchill Island, A Maze’N Things, Phillip Island Winery and more. Simply book your hub and pickup time online, then let the Explorer do the rest.
Want to sip wine in the sun, spot seals on the coast, stroll alongside koalas or get lost in a giant maze? Now you can do it all - without the hassle of driving or parking. Plus, the friendly local hosts on board will help you uncover hidden gems, share local tips, and make the journey even more enjoyable.
