Must In Melbourne ## Highly Recommend - it was a very interesting experience. You can see the whole process of wild penguins returning home from the sea. The penguins are very cute and it is a wonderful and unforgettable experience. I hope everyone will also protect the earth.

A GREAT EXPERIENCE 👍 - Here's a write-up about my experience at the Melbourne Penguin Parade: Watching the Penguin Parade at Phillip Island was a truly unforgettable experience. As the sun began to set, hundreds of little penguins emerged from the ocean and waddled across the beach to their burrows. The parade was even more magical than I expected, with the penguins' tiny feet and adorable waddling making them impossible to resist. The viewing area was well-organized, with tiered seating and plenty of room to move around. The commentary from the park rangers added to the experience, providing interesting facts and insights about the penguins' behavior and habitat. It was clear that the rangers were passionate about conservation and protecting these amazing creatures. Overall, the Melbourne Melbourne Penguin Parade was an absolute highlight of my trip. It's a must-see experience for anyone visiting Melbourne, and I would highly recommend it.

Well organised & Great Tour 👍 - The Penguin Parade at Phillip Island is an enchanting experience that showcases nature at its finest. Visitors gather at sunset to witness adorable little penguins waddle ashore to their burrows after a day of fishing. The event is well-organized, with knowledgeable guides and educational displays offering insights into penguin behavior and conservation efforts. For the best experience, the "Tour Around Melbourne company" is highly recommended, offering a premium, less-crowded bus small Group makes it far better experience These options ensure unforgettable, up-close encounters with minimal disturbance to wildlife.

Highly Recommend this Tour & Company 🌟✨✨✨ - It was our pleasure to go on the tour with "Tours Around Melbourne"to Philip island Tour , and I can't recommend this company enough! They are truly amazing—Their passion for nature and wildlife shines. Our Guide was incredibly knowledgeable and eager to share fascinating insights about the animals we encountered. The tour itself was fantastic! We got to see so many native animals up close, especially the adorable wallabies and penguins, who were literally right next to us, eating and enjoying their day. I initially thought the trip would be tiring, especially since I was traveling with my young ones , who prefers a more relaxed pace. However, time flew by, and the tour felt effortless and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a memorable experience with a kind and dedicated guide, Don't look anywhere else I highly recommend booking a tour with Tours Around Melbourne! You won’t regret it!

A tour for penguins lovers - We had such a lovely day on Phillip Island! We saw so many koalas, wallabies, and even echidnas—and, of course, the penguins. The day was super relaxed, and we also had the opportunity to do our own thing during the stops along the way. Our tour guide, was absolutely amazing. He truly loved showing us around the island and had so much fascinating information to share. An absolute must-see—I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Melbourne!
