A Great Experience with a sense of Calmness - Must visit spot for Penguins Kangaroo lovers. They were roaming around and so gentle. Koalas were lazing hugging the tree barks.
A good tour with plenty of time no rushing at all. It was kind of tour. Where you can chill and still enjoy the day.
Lovely place to visit. Souvenir shop is also there.

Best Penguin wildlife tour - Glad we chose this tour. As it says we didn’t have to wait till late evening to see the penguins. And we saw 20 koalas and hand fed the kangaroos.
It’s a perfect tour to see all the Aussie wildlife and Penguins and top of that we saw tiger crocodile.
Our family had a Great time.

Highly Recommend - Penguin Parade was a magical experience that created so many great memories for us. Our tour guide, Tim was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and kind. He makes the effort to connect personally with every participant at the start of the tour and during the tour he shared his knowledge on the conservation efforts in Australia.
Overall A Great Experience

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.

Don't look anywhere else I highly recommend booking a tour with Tours Around Melbourne! You won’t regret it!
