We enjoyed both the... - We enjoyed both the Wildlife Sanctuary and the Penguin Parade. Our driver/guide clearly let us know what to expect at each location and extra stops. He pointed out wildlife as we traveled. It was a long day (12 hours). The van was full but comfortable even though it was a bit bumpy.

A trip for all the family! - We had an amazing day with Dirk seeing the beachuts, exploring Phillip Island and watching the penguins. It was educational, easy and you got to see so much in one day.

Experiences top notch. Transportation suspect. - Good tour for all around exposure to Melbourne and sights at nature reserve. The National Park was nice but a little rushed. The penguin parade was unique but the place had a chaotic/fomo vibe that certain cultures bring with them. The bus used for transport was not good for any passenger taller than 5’10”. Very poor suspension on that road, made for a very tough trek back to hotel.
