Discover Phillip Island Your Way with AmazingCo

Discover Phillip Island Your Way with AmazingCo

One moment you are solving a riddle on your phone. The next, you are collecting something delicious from a local producer, meeting native wildlife or discovering a new corner of the island. By the end of the day, you may be sharing a gourmet picnic by the coast, visiting a boutique winery, or seeing the island from above in a scenic helicopter ride.

AmazingCo offers a collection of self-guided Phillip Island experiences that bring together local flavours, natural beauty, wildlife and a spirit of discovery. The route and activities are planned for you, leaving more time to enjoy the day with your partner, family or friends.

How do AmazingCo experiences work?

AmazingCo experiences are self-guided, with a digital guide leading you from one stop to the next.

Depending on the experience you choose, you might visit local attractions, collect food, try signature tasting dishes or watch pelican feedings. Everything unfolds through your smartphone, so you can enjoy the freedom of exploring independently without organising every detail yourself.

Each experience introduces you to a different side of Phillip Island, from its food and drinks scene to wellness experiences and coastal cruises. Many experiences also include optional activities and recommendations, giving you the choice to keep exploring after the pre-planned experiences are complete.

Solve your way to a Mystery Picnic

Part scavenger hunt and part gourmet day out, the AmazingCo Mystery Picnics turn lunch into an adventure.

Solve interactive clues and riddles on your phone to uncover each stop. As you make your way around Phillip Island, you will collect picnic food from a selection of local producers. The final clue reveals where you can sit down and enjoy everything you have gathered along the way.

There are Mystery Picnic options for couples, families and groups of friends. You can explore Phillip Island itself or choose the Road to Phillip Island route, which makes the journey from Melbourne part of the experience.

Make it a family adventure

The Family Mystery Picnic follows the same idea as the original experience, with child-friendly clues and a picnic collected along the way. Families can choose a Phillip Island route or turn the drive to the island into an adventure of its own.

For a day filled with wildlife, the Animal Family Adventure brings together animal encounters, a wildlife-spotting cruise, pelican feeding, farm animals and live demonstrations. A scavenger hunt continues throughout the day, with a family fish and chip lunch and time to play by the foreshore.

With the day already mapped out, parents can spend less time planning and more time joining the fun, with plenty to keep young explorers occupied.

Taste your way around the island

Exploring the local food and drink scene is an important part of many AmazingCo experiences, offering a delicious introduction to what Phillip Island has to offer.

The Phillip Island Sips Trail leads visitors through the island’s drinks scene, with iconic wineries, a local brewery, tastings and exceptional food included along the way. It is an easy choice for couples or friends who want to spend a leisurely afternoon discovering local flavours.

In Cowes, the Taster Walk turns lunch into a self-guided walking trail. Follow the route between a selection of local restaurants and enjoy a signature tasting dish at each stop. It is part meal, part town tour and a good reason to arrive hungry.

Slow down with wellness and wildlife

Not every adventure needs to move quickly.

AmazingCo’s Wellness and Wildlife Day combines peaceful and scenic spots around the island, native wildlife and relaxing wellbeing experiences. It offers a softer way to explore Phillip Island, with time to pause at each stop.

It is well-suited to couples, friends or anyone looking to make wellness part of their island stay. The self-guided format keeps the day flexible while still giving it a clear flow.

See Phillip Island from a new perspective

For something grander, the Scenic Adventure crosses sky, land and sea.

The experience combines a scenic helicopter flight, wildlife cruise, nature walk and Phillip Island’s iconic coastal views. From breathtaking coastal views to wildlife encounters on the water, this experience offers a memorable way to discover Phillip Island.

There is also a Mystery Picnic and Helicopter Adventure, pairing a 16-minute scenic flight with clues, local food and a gourmet picnic. It is a fun choice for a celebration, special date or simply a day that deserves to feel a little different.

Stay a little longer

The Mystery Picnic Weekend turns the experience into an overnight Phillip Island escape.

Spend the day following clues, collecting local flavours and discovering the coastline, then settle into comfortable local accommodation for the night. With no need to drive home after the picnic, there is more time to explore, enjoy dinner and ease into the next morning.

It is a simple way to turn one activity into a complete island getaway.

Choose your Phillip Island adventure

The hardest part may be deciding which experience to book.

Food lovers can follow a trail of picnic treats or tasting dishes. Families can spend the day solving clues and meeting animals. Couples can choose wellness, local wine or a flight over the coast. Groups of friends can make an afternoon of shared food, drinks and a little friendly competition.

Whichever experience you choose, AmazingCo offers a different way to explore Phillip Island. The plans are taken care of, but the discoveries still feel like your own.
