5.00This day was by far my favorite (if I had to choose just one) while I was in Melbourne! This is a must see experience; you get you get to see the colorful beach houses on Brighton Beach, wildlife encounters at Moonlight Sanctuary, Phillip Island and all its beauty, but then the little penguin parade ❤️ It was very long day but 100% worth it!!!Our guide, Woody, was simply the best! He had a lot of knowledge about Australia and all the places we visited.

5.00Jacqui was an incredible guide. While driving, she provided informative, entertaining historical context. She had a contagious enthusiasm all day. The tour provided unique wildlife experiences at a wildlife sanctuary and at a conservative zone with wild wallabys, penguins, and more. The penguin parade was the highlight. I did the penguin plus and think it was worth it. Overall a great experience.
Tour was above average

5.00Wonderful tour! Go West tours did a great job of organizing a variety of excursions into one experience, getting to visit Brighton Beach, Moonlit Sanctuary, and view the Phillip Island penguins was an absolute treat. Our guide, Benjamin, did a great job providing information every step of the way and made a point to give us advice on how best to see the penguins (with extra time to spend more time seeing more penguins)! Can’t recommend this tour group more!
Amazing Day
