Wonderful full day tour - We enjoyed our 11 hours well worth the long day to hear the history of Melbourne and Phillip island and all the great stops throughout the day. Beautiful sight seeing beaches animals even had photos of Dingoes standing on our lap. A very big Thankyou to James C our tour guide for his great knowledge of our country and good driving and keeping us all safe. The only disappointment was at the penguins parade as there were many rude tourists who would not turn off their phones. This is a strictly No photo zone as the flashlight frighten the penguins. 2500 people each night viewing these beautiful creatures is far too many no wonder the have declined.

Awesome penguin tour - We had an awesome time on the Penguin parade tour out of Melbourne! The penguins are so enthralling to watch as they come out of the ocean and make their way back to their burrows! Red was the perfect guide and went way over and above to make the day fun!! Complete with his specially prepared Playlist of music for the bus, a wealth of information and joke telling!! Thoroughly entertained by him!!

Brilliant day out plus the Penguin Parade - We were very fortunate to have Bree as our guide today. The trip was very well planned and we had enough time at each stop. The Penguin Parade is simply amazing and I look forward to visiting again.

Great tour of Melbourne and Penguins at Philip Island! - We had a relaxed morning tour with James C who showed us around Melbourne with enough stops for photos. We had a lunch break and then continued on the second tour to Philip Island again without amazing guide James C. We had the Penguin Plus pass so got close to seeing around 200 penguins come up from the water to the beach. Once in a life time experience and can highly recommend.
