An Unforgettable Day at Moonlit Sanctuary & Phillip Island - This tour was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Camille picked me up right on time from my hotel, and from the very beginning the experience felt thoughtful and well organised. On the way, Camille shared fascinating insights about Australian history, which made the drive both educational and engaging. At Moonlit Sanctuary, he even helped me to film a wonderful video while I was feeding kangaroos — such a special memory that I’ll treasure! When we arrived at Phillip Island, the weather turned stormy, but Camille handled everything brilliantly. He carefully adjusted the route so I could see wildlife in their natural habitat — kangaroos, wallabies, an echidna, and beautiful native birds — all comfortably from the car despite the conditions. It felt like a private safari experience. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner at a lovely Italian café, which was a perfect break during the long day. For the Penguin Parade, Camille made sure we arrived early so I could secure one of the best viewing spots. He gave great advice on where to look to see the penguins clearly, and his enthusiastic storytelling made the experience even more magical. Even though the tour was long (from 1:00 PM until 11:30 PM) and included stormy weather in the afternoon, it never felt tiring. It was engaging, beautifully paced, and full of unforgettable moments. Highly recommend — especially with Camille as your guide!

Great way to see native wildlife and Phillip Island - Very personalized experience. Moonlit was out first stop and we were able to see native wildlife and fed kangaroos, including a rare albino cutie. Then we stopped for dinner on Phillip Island at a seaside Italian restaurant that was very nice (great choice). The drive around the island was very relaxing and beautiful. Ben and his assistant were very informative and accommodating during the whole experience. The evening experience with the penguins was unique watching them exiting the ocean onto the beach then marching up the “penguin highway” in small groups. We did experience a minor vehicle problem, but Ben was quick to provide alternate transportation. We highly recommend this tour

Once-in-a-lifetime encounter with wild penguins! - This is a long tour but worth every second. The wildlife park was fun, and Phillip Island is gorgeous. The penguin parade is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Dress warmly though! Our guide Viviana was very sweet, even though we did not get back to our hotel until after midnight on Christmas Eve!

Phillip Island was an... - Phillip Island was an incredible day out. The scenery, wildlife, beaches and fish & chips were all amazing. The tour ended with tickets to the Penguin march, which we recommend to everyone. Our guide Ben was incredibly knowledgeable, he took extra time to find us some quieter spots away from the larger tourists crowd. His knowledge on the Island and its wildlife was very very impressive.

Book it! - Ben is amazing. If you are hesitating to book this trip do not. Book it. Ben is not your average tour guide. He’s truly passionate about connecting with people, is incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, culture and food and he will make sure the journey is comfortable. Having Ben as our guide was a blessing. He took care of all the tickets we needed, pointed us in the direction of where we needed to go to get the best penguin views and took time to stop and explain different wildlife along the way. He’s not just knowledgeable about the wildlife but he also knows a lot about the local culture and food and provided so many recommendations. It was so nice having a private tour where everything was figured out so we could just enjoy the ride. Ben is not just a tour guide but he’s an incredible person to connect with on a deeper level. He’s so personable and that added touch makes the journey all the more special. Book this trip!

Fun, educational, unforgettable experience - The vendor has good communication about pick up time and locations from the beginning. Our tour-guide Lewi is awesome. He speaks a lot of different languages and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Australia and its culture in this trip. ( He has good photos taking skills.) We highly recommended this tour if you are first time visiting Australia or Philips Island. The little safari trip is amazing and unforgettable as well. Lewi showed us couple spots with good ocean views.
