Tour guide BOB is a great guide. We used the Viator app to book all of our tours on our Australia trip, April / May 2024. Go West Guide was the tour company that we used for the penguin tour.Dress warmly.

Had a great day with Jane. Will definitely recommend. The best part was seeing the penguins at the end of the tour, but also really enjoyed seeing wildlife along the way.
