We had an amazing time on the trip! On that day we hit the 40 degree mark but our tour guide Luke (who is the absolute best btw!!!) made it super comfortable on the bus and always made sure that we all feel good. The tour guide makes or breaks the trip as you might know and Luke is not only an amazing tour guide with incredible knowledge about Melbourne and the wildlife but he’s also a nice human being, who’s super funny and nice to be around with. Due to the heat we didn’t interact with the animals that much because they tried to hide in the shadows as well which is absolutely understandable but it was still awesome to see them and even feed a few wallabies. We had plenty of stops for a bathroom break and at some beautiful beaches where we were even able to take a quick dip in. The penguin parade was the highlight of it all! It was so cute to see the little penguins making their way out of the ocean. Something you’ll never forget!
Terrible itinerary

The organization of tour is terrible, they bring us to wildlife conservation after 2.30 pm when All the activities and feeding the animals are done and they just sleep. For two hours drive to Philip island and back the guide practically did not give us any information about Australia and animals, just dropped us at the designated stops. Parade was good, so it could be better to pick us at 4 pm and go straight there

Seeing the little baby penguin doing their nightly routine and watching them waddle into their homes.
