Penguins parading & wild wallabies - Fantastic life changing experience, watching these little penguins waddle out the sea and into their nests at dusk. Left feeling happy and having experience nature at its best. Also enjoyed the visit to Moonlight sanctuary and feeding Kangaroos and Wallabies. Our guide and driver Dirk was knowledgeable, fun and made the trip more special. He spotted loads of wildlife and stopped the van for photos. Excellent trip!

Great day! - Dirk our driver/guide was great and very informative. We enjoyed every part of the experiences that the tour offered. Wildlife sanctuary and the opportunity to see Koalas and hand feed Kangaroos was fun and the grand finale of seeing the penguins was truly a natural wonder.

Exceptional Tour company and tour! - The day was incredible. Both K and Mehmet were amazing hosts. Loved all the commentary and suggestions. They did an awesome job managing all 48 people on the tour. The Bathing boxes were neat and Moonlit Sanctuary was fun. Phillips Island was incredible!

Phillip Is Wildlife Wonderland - Top day with guide/driver Marty. Everything was exactly as advertised, we covered a lot of ground but did not feel rushed. The bus was clean and comfortable. Phillip Island has an incredible amount of wildlife and Marty drove around slowly pointing out various burrows with baby penguins, a wallaby with a Joey in her pouch, and he was really awesome explaining how much time we had at each stop, where to meet and the time. He even took us on an unscheduled drive-by of The Block. This tour was fantastic and exceeded all of our expectations. His dinner recommendations were also top notch. Not a cheap day, but excellent value.

Long day but worth it. - Long day but worth it. This tour is a long day but the Brighton Beach Boxes were cool to see, the wildlife park was small but good for overseas visitors, coming from interstate we really didn't get much from this stop however we got an early lunch here which was ok. Nobbies Head was really nice, I would have liked more time here as you only just had enough time to walk the boardwalk, there was no time to go into the centre which was a shame. The Phillip Island penguins were adorable, although pay attention to where the tour guide says to come back to. We got there so late that there was almost no seats left in the stand and we were way up the back so couldnt see much. We left as soon as they were spotted and went back to the boardwalk where our guide said they come past. There were heaps that went past us and while we were just sitting there and no one else was around, we had a couple of babies pop their heads out of their burrows right in front of us. This spot made it worthwhile.

The march of the penguins... - The march of the penguins are amazing but not what I expected. The journey was long but the driver, Harley made it bearable. Very knowledgeable, considerate and connected. Kudos to him.

The bus did not have... - The bus did not have air-con working and that made it very uncomfortable on a hot day. The penguin sighting was a good experience
