Fabulous- A must see for Phillip Island - It was a very enjoyable experience. The whole tour was very convenient with a hotel pickup and drop. Our driver /tour guide - Ray was friendly, knowledgeable and fun! We took an optional add on of the Koala Reserve along with this trip and the whole experience was fantastic. We saw quite a few Koalas, although we did not catch any echidnas. The winery tour had a good grazing platter! The food was sumptuous too. One of us, had a gluten free vegetarian diet and we all had lunch to eat. We then went to the Penguin Parade, it was raining, extremely windy and cold so I would suggest dress warmly and carry or buy rain protection, and despite which we had a good sighting of the penguins ( thanks to the insider tips that Ray gave us). My recommendation would be to purchase the Penguin Plus viewing option instead of the general viewing. And don’t be those visitors who insist on flash photography of the Penguins despite being asked not to! Overall a must experience if you visit Phillip Island.

Terrific package of penguin and Phillips Island experiences - The penguins and views were the stars - truly outstanding! And the tour package was wonderful too ensuring we saw highlights of the town of Cowes, tasted great wine and got up close to the local wildlife too. Our guide, Mike, was fun, knowledgeable and patient - everything we needed plus a surprise glass of bubbles! Thanks.

A great day/ afternoon not to be missed! - My partner and I had a great day. The winery was great and the wine tasting and food was amazing. Our guide Yuri was great fun, very friendly and a wealth of knowledge. Penguin parade is a must do and the facilities are brilliant. Especially the coffee at 9pm. We would recommend this as a great afternoon to anyone.

Lovely, small group tour.... - Lovely, small group tour. Enjoyed the camaraderie, our guide and the locations. Little glitch on locations due to public holiday, but they made it very enjoyable anyway.
