Scott-tastic - Your was great. Only downside was that it was super cold when we went to see the penguins and we noticed that a lot of them had already come up without anyone noticing so we saw more from the boardwalk than from the seats. But it was a great day out

Had a wonderful time viewing wildlife - Spent the day touring Phillip Island with the guide James, who was very well informed and helpful. It was a fantastic experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in Australian wildlife or who is simply interested in exploring the area around Melbourne.

Confirmation of high quality service - The event was beyond expectations. John, the driver and at the same time the guide of this tour, went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had an unforgettable day. Always smiling, ready to solve any situation in the right way, accompanied by the right amount of sarcasm and sense of humor. Such people make our world beautiful. This time I have to praise the company itself because it obviously chooses its staff very carefully.

Must do trip if in Melbourne! - Amazing tour, a must do when in Melbourne. Our tour guide Craig was brilliant, friendly and very informative. Thoroughly enjoyed the Moonlit sanctuary and our stop off’s at Woolamai beach and The Nobbies. Penguin Parade was wonderful and a great way to end the trip.

Parade of penguins…sort of - If you paid to have the priority setting you could actually see the penguins but otherwise no parade at all and a few penguins, however as we were walking back up to the bus we saw them gathering in the hillside getting into their burrows and they were cute as could be and LOUD!

Meh… - A lot of bus time and not much payoff when we arrived at the stops. Guide was lame - didn’t have much to say or much personality. Killing time was the MO. First stop at wildlife preserve was fun but felt like going to a petting zoo. Lived the koala and feeding wallabies but could do it elsewhere. Lunch on Phillip island was a waste of time. Penguin viewing was highlight. Overall trip was just fine.
