Great adventure with the... - Great adventure with the animals at the wildlife sanctuary. The penguin walk was a unique once in a lifetime experience. It was a very long day, almost 12 hours. However, our driver/guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The penguin walk be sold out with over 700 visitors. Buy your tickets in advance or arrange a guided tour. It’s very cold at night in early October when we went. Bundle up!

Exceptionally varied and well rounded experience, filled with beautiful views and adorable animals - Our tour was amazing. Our guide Lisa took us to a wide array of absolutely gorgeous places where we got to bathe our eyes in the wide open skies and the sea and the green hills. She shared fascinating stories, and of course the animals were adorable!!! We debated wether to do this tour because we're doing other wildlife activities as well but we loved feeding the kangaroos and wallabies in moonlit sanctuary and the penguin parade was a once in a lofe time experience where we get to witness nature's cycles and beauty from a front row seat. Lisa was kind and welcoming and warm and we loved having her as a guide!

An All-Day Wildlife Adventure! - From pick-up in front of our hotel at 10AM to being dropped off at 9PM that night, this tour was jam-packed with sights and experiences! Our tour guide, Rhys, was energetic, friendly, knowledgeable, and kept us all on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. We really enjoyed the breaks to see various spots on the Australian coast between the big events of the Moonlit Sanctuary and the Penguin Parade. This tour covered all the bases, comfortable transport with wifi, plenty of opportunities to grab a snack or coffee and visit the bathroom (no bathrooms on the bus), lots of time with the penguins, koalas, and other Aussie animal stars, and a personable guide with great taste in music.

Fabulous tour and guide, let down by cramped & uncomfortable bus - Fabulous trip to visit wildlife sanctuary, various viewpoints and ending up at Penguin Parade on Phillip Island. Tim was a first-class driver and tour guide - friendly, knowledgeable, informative and safe. However, bus was cramped and uncomfortable, with insufficient space to get my knees behind the seat in front. We were told to bring appropriate clothing for the weather but there was nowhere to stow a bag or, for example, wet umbrellas or rain jackets (needed as it was a cold, rainy day), and it was a long (albeit enjoyable) day.

Penguins were the grand finale - A fabulous full day. I’m so glad I did it. Chris H was a great speaker, great educator and a lot of fun. This company did not tell me in advance that no photography is allowed. That was in a message the day before the tour. That was the only negative, but it was a big one for me.

Confusing communication, poor operations - This review is for pre-tour experience only, as we did not go on the tour. The operator’s emails were confusing at best, as they changed the pickup location and pickup time. Their emails would say “do not refer to any other changes only this email.” But then they’d email with changes and an incomplete email. We still planned to go on the tour until we waited an additional 10 minutes past the adjusted pickup time. When they were not there and hadn’t contacted us, we moved on. Making matters worse, they will not approve a refund despite their operational issues. Avoid this tour operator.
