Why visit Victoria?
Victoria packs an extraordinary variety of experiences into Australia’s most compact mainland state. Melbourne is the cultural heart — laneways, coffee and sport — and from there the legendary Great Ocean Road, the Twelve Apostles and the Yarra Valley’s cellar doors are all within reach of a single day.
Watch the nightly penguin parade on Phillip Island, ride the historic Puffing Billy steam train through the Dandenongs, or tour the goldfields at Ballarat. Compare the best Victoria tours and experiences below — from small-group wine tours to wildlife encounters — all from trusted local operators with genuine traveller reviews.
VIC tours — frequently asked questions
A full-day tour covers the Twelve Apostles and rainforest, but a two-day tour lets you slow down and see far more of the coast.
The penguin parade happens every night at sunset, year-round — tours depart Melbourne in the afternoon.
