5.00I had a wonderful day on this Phillip Island tour with Mark, who is a really awesome tour guide…he gave us a lot of information about animals (this tour included a couple of hours at Moonlit Sanctuary) and the history of Melbourne and Victoria, etc.! The penguin parade at dusk was the cutest thing ever!! I recommend this tour to everyone!

Good tour of multiple highlights outside of Melbourne

5.00Jacqui was a fantastic guide/driver. We booked this tour as it was one of the only ones that incorporated the Moonlight Sanctuary with the Penguin Parade + a couple additional stops in between. The vehicle was comfortable and had WiFi throughout the ride. I wish the tour company would have highlighted the very LIMITED food options to pack ahead accordingly. Outside of the slim options - especially if you have an allergy - at the zoo and penguin visitor center, there were no other way to eat on the long trip. Not a fault of the tour; but could have been communicated ahead of time.
Fun full day adventure..
