Great for family!

We had a great time with Bree as our tour guide! She's very attentive and informative on the whole journey. The weather was the only thing that was a little unpleasant for us. Wind was strong and very cold! Make sure to wear warm clothes if you visit mid February. Otherwise the trip was very smooth and memorable.

What an experience!

We were with Chris. He is a genuine good guy. The day was long but totally worth it. We had incredible weather, clear blue skies and mild wind. Brighton Beach and Woolamai Beach were beautiful. Paddled in the waves in both (so bring a towel). The moonlight sanctuary was interesting. Feeding the kangaroos was an experience. They were very gentle. Obviously the highlight of the tour was the Penguin Parade. Remember it’s after dark so bring layers! We upgraded our seats to Penguin Plus seats $96 What an amazing experience!!! One of the workers estimated 700-800 penguins came from the sea that night. To be so close to them was worth the upgrade. Chris is a great guide and we really enjoyed his commentary and company. When he saw animals driving he made sure all on the bus got a chance to see the animals and take photos. He congratulated everyone on keeping time back to the bus so that we saw everything on the schedule. Thank you Chris

Well worth the trip to Melbourne!

Had the most amazing time on the Phillip Island Penguin Parade tour - it was a very long day (11:20am pick up and 11:45pm drop off) so do be prepared for that, but it was packed full, and Ashleigh was brilliant, kept us entertained the whole day with facts about Aus, Melbourne, and its native animals. We had a cooler (& windier) day than normal for the time of year, so it was chilly at times! Make sure you dress appropriately for the weather forecast of the day, as it will be colder on the island than the mainland, but the bonus of that was the animals were super active! We saw lots of wallabies, penguins, even a couple echnidas waddling around!

Don’t miss this!

What special time seeing the penguins! Bonus that we got to see the Milky Way too! Our guide, Jaimes was excellent! He made the outing even more special!

Jools you are a star. You could not do enough to make sure our outing was fun and informative. What a kind generous lady you are. We learnt a lot about the wild life on Phillip Island and appreciated the time you took to show us as much as you could. Loved the wallabies. The penguin parade was cute. Thank you very much. You did an excellent job.
