Penguin Parade
Very cold. Stops for dinner. Koala sanctuary also very impressive. Don’t get back until 11pm during daylight savings

A fantastic day at Phillip Island
We enjoyed a fantastic day with Sam, our driver and tour guide. Lunch at Tooradin made a break in between Melbourne city and Phillip Island. Sam was extremely knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humour which was appreciated by all. The Koala Conservation Centre was enjoyable, and we saw 3 koalas. A drive around Phillip Island was also enjoyable before we set up ready for the Penguin Parade. Not so many penguins on the night we were there, but still a great experience

It was amazing to see all...
It was amazing to see all the penguins come out of the water and walk right past where we were sitting. Peter was great. He told us where the best place to sit was and told us stories along the way.

Penguins!!!
Very nice tour, got to see koalas in the habitat at the reserve, parrots and wallabies. Took you to the coast and got to see the awesome Southern coastline at the Nobbies In the finale at the penguin walk was awesome. Definitely do the plus you get closer to where they come out of the water and go up. The hill. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and very funny, made the day go by quicker. Definitely I recommend

Great experience!
We had lots of fun on this tour with our 2.5 year old, and despite still being on the winter schedule (due to shorter days) we saw and learned a lot on our way to the Penguins. The parade itself was great and our tour guide made sure we got there in time to have the best seats possible! He was also really knowledgeable and helpful and kept use entertained throughout the long day :)

Very special magical day
Such a privilege to see these amazing creatures up close.
Added bonus was visiting the koala sanctuary.
Our driver on the day was just the best.
She was concious of our special circumstances and she looked after us so well.
She went well and truly above and beyond and we will never forget her kindness.
Sadly I can't remember her name but I want her and her employer to know that she was a true highlight of, not just our day but our whole holiday

Penguins are the star of this show
The driver was very helpful. He was also very entertaining. The bus was nice and clean. The penguins of course were the stars. Highly recommend this tour

Koalas & Penguins Aplenty
The excursion experiences were great and Vicky, our tour guide, did a nice job narrating the trip; would definitely recommend this one.

Outstanding tour
Craig who was our driver and guide did an outstanding trip. The main concern was safety of the passages. Several 5 star items..pickup at selected hotels, no rush stops, bus driver/guide interaction with the guest's, bust locations to go when stopped at visited locations and having a great personality. Thank you

loved the Koala habitat...
loved the Koala habitat and could have used another 15 minutes or so there! it was a foggy evening and we did not see the 450 penguins that were predicted to come out of the water to their burrows. we saw about 20, and that was at too much of a distance.

Penguin parade is a 10+
The overall experience was amazing but know it is a very long day. They do break is down in very nice increments and stops. We loved the koala sanctuary and even got to see a mama and baby up close! Then a beautiful view at the knobbies with a nice walk to keep stretching out the legs. The highlite is the penguin parade which didn’t disappoint. Seeing the little guys come out of the water and scurry by was so adorable. Along the boardwalk in the way back to the bus you can take your time and watch them waddle back to their nests. Very cute and enjoyable. Our guide was also so knowledgeable and kept us interested the whole tour
