    What a delight! The bakery on the way was delicious. The hike was about 7 miles. We saw wallabies, spectacular views and an echidna. Then it was off to the Koala Sanctuary. It's very touching that there is so much space for them and some had been rescued during the wildfires. After that we did another small walk where we could see rescued penguins nesting, grey geese and more wallabies. The penguin parade was pure joy. I would suggest going to the far gift shop before popping down because it gets crowded straight afterwards. Seeing the penguins emerging out of the ocean, wait til there are enough to waddle up the beach to goto their homes was delightful. Really a wonderful outing that is such a special day.

    The intimacy of the group, the great care and contextual knowledge shared by guide Shane as well as the curation of the selected experiences make this a wonderful activity to consider when in Melbourne. We were lucky in that we had not only excellent weather but got incredibly lucky in our animal sightings. One koala put on quite the show. Due to the penguins only leaving the water after sunset, the timing is such that the itinerary starts a bit later in the day and goes into the night. Consider that it will be a late late and so it's best to come having had breakfast. (And not just a coffee like I did...)

    Shane is very professional and welcoming with lots of interesting stories. The hike is great and easy, a little challenging for my in-their-60s parents but they did pretty good job and the group was also very kind and patient. Highly recommended.

    This highly recommendable trip was led by the knowledgeable and easy-going driver and guide, Shane. The tour was a great combination of hiking along stunning beaches and cliff tops, spotting native wildlife and seeing beautiful coastal views. In addition to the amazing Penguin Parade, we saw lots of wallabies, a koala in the wild (in addition to the ones at the Conservation Reserve), an echidna and a Lowland Copperhead snake. Shane also told us exactly where to stand to get the best view of the penguins during the Penguin Parade.
