Excelle Penguin Island tour with guide Cloe

Francois_S, Feb 2024
Great excursion to Penguins island with very experienced and knowledgeable guide Cloe. She knew all the right spots to see wildlife animals.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thanks for your 5 star rating. Happy to hear you have a great tour and managed to spot some local wildlife, in particular the penguins on Phillip Island.

Amazing

Laurel_J, Sep 2022
My valued clients were very pleased with their journey. Their host was polite well mannered and looked after them admirably. Their journey was a long planned highlight of Victoria and they were not disappointed thanks to their host/driver who went out of his way to ensure they had a wonderful journey. Thank you so much.

Wonderful day!

Excellent trip! It is a long day and I wish I had more time. Nice to move at my own speed at the stops and James adjusted as needed.
