Antartic Journey at the Nobbies, Phillip Island, Victoria

June 12, 2021

For families heading to the Nobbies at Phillip Island that want to learn more about the underwater sea life a visit to the Antartic Journey is the place to go. It’s a fun environment for young kids to learn.

Antartic Journey, Nobbies, Phillip Island

There are a number of interactive experiences for the kids and those young at heart to enjoy. My favourite was watching the kids that appeared to be standing or sitting on an ice berg. There was a big screen which made it look like whales were jumping up at them, seals were climbing all over them and the cute penguins coming up to them. The smiles on the kids faces was a priceless memory.

Our Experience

For us, whilst we enjoyed the Antartic Journey and being a big kid, the main attraction at the Nobbies was strolling along the boardwalk. The boardwalk runs along the clifftop. Taking in the breathtaking views and taking loads of photos. Looking for penguins as we walked along that were hiding in their burrows protecting their young. Once we had completed our visit at the Antartic Journey we had to visit the gift shop. Who can resist looking at the plushie penguins. It was then time to drive along The Boulevard and stop at the nearby lookouts which provide panoramic views of the coastline of Bass Strait as we headed to Pyramid Rock.

Nearby lookouts

As you leave the Nobbies take the unsealed clifftop road called The Boulevard. This will take you to 3 lookouts providing panoramic views of Bass Strait. Places where the wind is likely to make you feel invigorated as you gaze out to see and watch the waves crashing up on the rocks. During whale season (May – October) don’t forget to have your binoculars and remember to look out for the seals.

Below are the lookouts we stopped at along our journey to the Pyramid Rocks where you’ll find more spectacular views and coastal walks.
