Kenny was very nice and a great tour guide! Best part of the day was seeing the little penguins cross the beach at night. Great views of Philips island!

carolyn_c

The tour itself is a must do if you are in Melbourne. You will get back late. Our tour was private. Our driver arrived on time, but the odor in the vehicle made the ride unpleasant. Everything else went well. Ben was the one listed on the tour but he subcontracted the tour out.

Doug_F

Great tour guide (Kenny)! He was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. My only issue was with Viator (Ben)... horrible customer service!!!

herbert_d

Kenny did a great job showing us around. He was very informative, personable and fun! His recommendations were excellent and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect!

Anne_P

Our guide, Ben, was fantastic. The tour he put together was fun & interesting. Based on our interests, he took us to certain spots which added to the overall experience. He was also a wealth of knowledge - he provided background and history on all the sites we went to and was well versed in navigating the crowds and knew the best viewing spots at the penguin march. Also his personality was kind and warm. He really cared about us having a great experience. This was definitely a 5 star excursion!

shirley_s

Excellent trip, very nice experience to see kangaroo and penguins. Mr. Ben was friendly n recommended private tour guide.

Chris_M

We had an incredible time. The day was sunny, so the Brighton boxes shone brilliantly. Seeing Phillip Island, on both sides, was beautiful and stunningly spectacular, but the tiny penguins were the hit. Ben said the tour would get better and better as the day went on, and he was so right. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend the trip. Well worth the time and money.

We had a private tour with Neil of Australian Luxury Tours. Neil was so knowledgable about the area, the wildlife, and Australian life. We enjoyed some great conversations about food and it’s history, how the Australian government works, among many other interesting subjects! We especially liked the time we spent with Neil at the penguin nesting grounds. It was fascinating!

This a a full day bus excursion from Sydney to Phillips Island to see the "March of the Penguins". These amazing creatures (miniature- not like the penguins in the zoo) literally come out of the of water after its dark,like an army, come up to the shore to bury their eggs and rest after days at sea! We, the very small group of tourists are set far back on a simple bleacher to gaze at the magnificence of unspoiled nature and life before man built up the land. The activity is about an hour- starting after 8:00 pm, when it is completely dark.
