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.

Too short time in penguin parade

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!!

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

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

Must-Do Phillip Island
It is a full day to Phillip island from the Melbourne business district but so worth it! David, our tour guide, is fantastic - very accommodating and knowledgeable. This is a must-do destination to one of the MOST beautiful and pristine coastlines in the world. The penguin parade is adorable for “children” of ALL ages. We cannot say enough good things about this tour company and our tour guide David.

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!

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..
