An amazing trip to Phillip Island!
A fantastic trip to Phillip Island! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the local area. The itinerary was very well organised. It was great to see the koala bears being looked after in the sanctuary and we even spotted a kookaburra! The penguin parade was amazing and it was wonderful to watch the penguins waddling out of the sea and into their burrows. A wonderful day trip from Melbourne!

Excellent tour for watching penguin parade
Amazing! We enjoyed not only the main activity (watching the penguin parade) but also the other parts of the tour.
We were very impressed by Cloe, our tour guide. Her storytelling and presentation were clear and engaging. Although English is not our first language, we had almost no difficulty following her explanations and guidance. We were truly captivated by her agility, confidence, and energy.

We had a great tour of...
We had a great tour of the Moonlit sanctuary and headed to the Penguin Parade. We were disappointed that we didn’t find out until 15 minutes before arriving at the Penguin Parade that photos of the penguins were not allowed. The description of the tour should mention this. Even some of the tourist photos show the penguins and those should be removed.

Great experience...
Great experience especially the visit to the Moonlit Sanctuary where we got to handfeed wallabies. The penguin parade was a bit dissapointing - only saw 7 penguins (too many people) and the weather was dismal. I think March may not be the best time to visit. Luke the tour guide was great though

Great evening tour
Wonderful tour! We had a great evening with Sue! She gave us lots of local history and fun facts about the penguins! Seeing the penguin parade was amazing! Being picked up at our lodging was an added bonus. No need to stress about parking or crowds!

Love the penguin 🐧🐧
Penguin parade is super cool, they are so cute and little. Can't do this anywhere else. Train is just touristy ride thru people's backyards but fun. Saw wombats, penguins, achidnas, so cute. Guide was fun and informative

A long day, but so worth it!!
Three days with Go West Tours and our guide Mike was amazing!! The Great Ocean road is not to be missed. So fun to drive and very scenic. The Penguin Parade is beyond cuteness. The Penguin Highway is a must see after dark!! Only suggestion is that the city tour should be moved to the first of the three days so you can figure out what you need to add to your agenda as a visitor to this great City of Melbourne. Certainly a lot to offer here and we ran out of time!!

Great Experience
Excellent tour! Very organized and on time. It’s a long day, basically noon to midnight, but really fun. Simon, our bus driver was terrific. Take a warm jacket/coat for penguin parade, it’s cold and windy at night in March. Would definitely recommend.

Kangaroos down under
We experience many adventures from kangaroos and koalas to penguins. Our guide, John C was incredible with his knowledge of the areas that we visited.. I recommend this to anyone who wants to see kangaroos, koalas, and penguins. The bus we rode was very clean..

Excellent Tour to See Penguins Parade!
Incredible live event to see all the small penguins parade in person. Would highly recommend that you book the penguins plus tickets to maximize your opportunity to see the most penguins. It was also a treat to see many koalas at the conservation park and wallabies/kangaroos along the way. Our guide Craig and his companion Barry were excellent hosts.
