Great experience Penguin Tour - We enjoyed this tour, from the first note we received clear, well-timed instructions for pick-up, no missed beats. Rod was quickly in-tune with the type of people we are and it was obvious he likes to conduct his tours with passion and energy. Michael joined the tour as a guide in training. His calm demeanour balanced well against Rod's energy. Michael spotted a penguin in its own burrow (on the side of the road) and allowed us to get unique photos that no other tour buses before or after us noticed. The tempo of the tour was just right with no rushing between locations and plenty of time to compose our photos. This penguin tour hits all the right notes and we highly recommend it

Must do tour if staying at Phillip Island - As a family of 5 with 3 small children this tour was a perfect way for us to see the highlights of Phillip Island. Ray, our tour guide, was insightful with lots of local knowledge. The pick up and drop off to our accommodation was super convenient. Highly recommend.

Remember to bring jacket!... - Remember to bring jacket! In general the time frame for viewing is just nice, the dinner was a bit rushed so I would suggest to bring your own food instead (dinner is not provided anyway)

Good tour overall and very professional - Great tour, our tour guide picked us up on time at our accommodation and was very informative about the region. Took us to other locations of interest prior to the Penguin show. Unfortunately, the Penguins didn't want to cooperate on this particular evening. Only saw 6 of the little critters come out of the ocean before we had to leave, whereas there were supposed to be 184 the night before. Would definitely recommend this tour though.

Cute penguins. Hard to reach operator. - Great experience. Cute penguuns!!! However, i was not able to reach the operator day-of to coordinate pickup location, which was highly stressful and caused us to have to do extra driving. Be sure to try to coordinate pickup days in advance to avoid the issue i had.

Unreliable - Booked 1 month ahead, only to be cancelled 5 days before our tour due to so called tour guide being sick. Tried to rebook for the next night only to be told the same.
