Had a great time and got to see many great sites such as a half-million dollar Brighton beach box, the wallabies and Koalas at the Moonlit Sanctuary were awesome but the fairy penguins were the best and worth every minute waiting to see them. Bree, our guide ,was super knowledgeable and friendly and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of.

Amazing day out with our driver/guide Chris H. Excellent host! Just an amazing day from start to finish - could have stayed all day at the Moonlit Sanctuary - feeing wallabies and kangaroos and having a "koala experience" - SO worth the little bit extra. Then on to Penguin Island - which is full of wild "swamp" wallabies, and saw a little echidna close up. The penguins are so cute - you can hear them before seeing them when they come out of the water - and suddenly there they are on the beach. The best bit is working your way back to the Visitors' Centre and seeing them all walking up from the beach to their little burrows. Magical! - thanks to Chris H for such a fun day!!

Tour was well organised with punctual hotel pick ups. Good combination of locations bundled with the penguin sightings. Felix our guide was friendly and informative. Bonus points for giving us a little extra time for pictures when the southern lights came on!

Had a wonderful day trip to Phillip Island with our exceptional guide, Bob. He was friendly and informative, making the tour engaging from start to finish. The schedule was well-paced, allowing ample time at each stop without feeling rushed. Highlights included the koala sanctuary and the penguin parade, where, despite a no-photo policy to protect the penguins, the experience was magical. Overall, Bob made the tour memorable. Highly recommend!

Our Philip Island tour was nothing short of magical. From breathtaking views to fascinating anecdotes, along with the super cute tiny little penguins, every moment was memorable. Mark K, our guide, made the journey exceptional with his warmth and knowledge. From start to finish, Mark’s warm and friendly demeanor made the entire experience even more special. The beaitiful coastline, pristine beaches, and charming wildlife were definitely nothing short of phenomenal. Mark’s insightful commentary added depth to each stop too, making us appreciate the natural beauty and history even more. Thank you, Mark, for an incredible adventure! :)
