When you think of Phillip Island water activities, surfing immediately springs to mind.
But in its sheltered bays and inlets there are other options to make the most of this special island.
From sea kayaking along the stunning coastline to some family fun with aquabikes off a sheltered beach, there are a lot water-based activities for visitors.
Fishing is a very popular local pastime - whether off the beach or jetty, or in a boat out on Westernport Bay.
Outthere Outdoor Activities offers surfing lessons, kayak tours, stingray snorkelling, body boarding, mountain biking, and guided walks.
All activities can be organised to fit your schedule, taking into account winds and tides if relevant, and level of fitness.
Get up close with a stingray snorkelling adventure.
