  PENGUINS!! Absolutely LOVED seeing the penguins come ashore! The French Island portion was cool to see wild Koalas and the rustic lunch was definitely unique but there wasn't much else. Drove around a lot of dirt roads looking at farmland so we'd skip that part next time. Would have loved to have more time to explore some of the local shops upon arrival to Phillip Island but really the tour is all about the Penguin Parade and that alone is worth it.

  Fun trip with animal experiences. Was able to see Wallabies, Quokkas, and some Australian native animals. The tour guide Craig was friendly and caring.

  The driver turned off the AC when talking to us rather than using the microphone and leaving the AC on. There were too many stops for 40 passengers to have to get on and off the bus and have time to move about. An hour was not enough time in Cowes (to eat and get to/from the restaurant choices). The driver did not lower the bus for us to get on and off when probably half the passengers were over 50 and a few made it more obvious how difficult it was to pull ourselves in and out of the bus.

  We had a great tour of the Moonlit sanctuary and headed to the Penguin Parade. We were disappointed that we didn’t find out until 15 minutes before arriving at the Penguin Parade that photos of the penguins were not allowed. The description of the tour should mention this. Even some of the tourist photos show the penguins and those should be removed.

• Not to be missed penguin parade

  Despite the weather we had a fabulous day with lots of interesting commentary from John our driver guide. These little penguins are so cute and it was well worth the time and value for money.

  Great experience especially the visit to the Moonlit Sanctuary where we got to handfeed wallabies. The penguin parade was a bit dissapointing - only saw 7 penguins (too many people) and the weather was dismal. I think March may not be the best time to visit. Luke the tour guide was great though

  John was entertaining and very informative. He told us a lot about the places and animals we were stopping to see and pointed out things along the way. The only thing that would have made this perfect was being picked up from the ship

• Disappointed with the Philip Island Tour, but guide (bus driver) to the Top

  After driving the Great Ocean Road, I was a little disappointed with Philip Island Day: we went to the Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park where we are supposed to see free-ranging kangaroos, koalas, etc... Fortunately, there were not so many people, but approaching the kangaroos was almost impossible mission given the "incivility" of some families to "grab" all the animals on their way and film for long minutes without leaving room for others... Then, the Penguin Parade: we didn't see anything, except 6 penguin dots that we guessed information on the beach... Fortunately on the way back to the bus location, we just directed them into the "dunes and vegetation" And the other stops were insignificant especially if you do the Great Ocean Road before, which it is really worth it ...
