A nice day seeing the sights at Brighton Beach, the Moonlit Sanctuary, and Phillip Island. The sanctuary was my favorite, getting to see the animals close up. Not too many penguins, so that was a little disappointing, but you can’t control Mother Nature. Our guide was terrific!

It’s the best all day excursion we’ve ever taken! It’s the best tour out there, you won’t regret it! Luke was our guide and he is wonderful with a great sense of humor that kept us entertained all day. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best tour. Thank you Luke for making this the best trip ever!

Great Ocean Road Reverse Itinerary Boutique Tour - Max 12 Guests

Giulietta_G, Jun 2026

Magical Tour!

I've dreamt of visiting Australia since I was a young teen, long ago. Finally I've made the trip and this tour was everything I imagined a visit to Australia could be: koalas in trees, a field full of placid, yet bouncy kangaroos, gorgeous beaches and rock formations, and friendly people. An extra, wondrous bonus was wandering through an ancient, almost pre-historic temperate rainforest. It is a long day and there are windy and bumpy roads sometimes but it is one of the best travel experiences I ve had. Mark, our driver and guide was wonderful. If you are considering this trip, don't hesitate to. It was fantastic.

Gavin_D, Jun 2026

Great tour, highly recommended

This was an awesome tour with so many great sights. Tim, our guide, was very informative, friendly and made sure we got everywhere on time. We had good amounts of time in each location, plus there was a bonus option to do a Twelve Apostles helicopter trip. Prepare for a long day - I was picked up at 7.10am and got back to my hotel at 8.45pm - but absolutely worth it.

Beatriz_R, Jun 2026

Quick overview of Phillip...

Quick overview of Phillip Island. We stopped at the Moonlight sanctuary on the way there where we could see a bunch of Australian animals. I'm not a big fan of zoos but I enjoyed this visit. I also loved the Nobbies, where we could see some penguins in their burrows. Very cute! And then the reason of the trip: the penguin parade! At this time of the year they don't come in thousands but in hundreds. Yet it was a thrilling experience to see them emerge from the water and group before marching. I just wish we could have had an extra hour or so to spend 30 mins more in the sanctuary and at the Nobbies.

Puffing Billy And Healesville Sanctuary Scenic Tour

Thomas_P, Jun 2026

Incredible Wildlife and Scenic Train Ride!

Our tour was absolutely incredible! It was such a wonderful experience to see the Australian wildlife up close at Healesville Sanctuary; seeing the koalas and kangaroos was a real highlight. The historic Puffing Billy steam train ride offered truly amazing, scenic views. Highly recommended!

Puffing Billy & Rainforest Tour from Melbourne

Kiara_I, May 2026

Very nice experience :)

Our guide Matt was very knowledgeable and accommodated to everyone’s vibes- if you wanted to chat you could, but you could also relax in silence which was nice. He also communicated very clearly about the schedule and places we were going, and he still gave us an hour to explore after the Puffing Billy even though the boarding was delayed. Matt also got some really nice videos of the group on the train, so that was a very nice bonus and showed real professional care. The experience on the Puffing Billy was probably the highlight of our trip, the views were very pretty and the experience was unique. I would recommend having some wriggle time for any plans you might make after the guide, as in our experience, the Puffing Billy was almost an hour delayed due to a safety concern, although typically you wouldn’t have to wait that long. The staff at the Puffing Billy communicated very clearly and were very polite.

A Delightful Day on Puffing Billy with an Outstanding Guide

I had a wonderful experience on the Puffing Billy Railway tour with Cloe. Everything was exceptionally well organized—the tour started right on time, and the bus that picked us up from the city was clean and comfortable. Cloe truly made the experience stand out. She was not only a skilled driver but also an engaging and knowledgeable guide, keeping everyone entertained along the way. Her energy and warmth added a special touch to the trip. The one-hour train ride was absolutely delightful, taking us through beautiful eucalyptus forests, charming local villages, and the rolling hills on the outskirts of Melbourne. The scenery was peaceful and picturesque—exactly what you hope for on a heritage train journey. Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience, especially for families with kids. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something relaxing, scenic, and a little bit magical

Go and do it!!

What an experience! Communication ahead of the day was great and clear. The crew were brilliant - fun but took your safety very seriously. Getting involved in setting up and taking down the balloon was very cool. The air balloon ride itself was magic - amazing to see the sunrise and also the city from above! Felt very comfortable and would highly recommend
