Excellent trip with Michael

5.00We had a great time with our guide Michael who is an awesome guide and person. There was a car accident at Moonlit Sanctuary not involving our tour group. Michael helped direct traffic for a bit so that the jammed roads could clear up. This did not delay the tour much, as we completed the rest of the trip to Philip Island timely, including time for dinner at Cowes and saw plenty of penguins after that. Michael looked after all of us, helped with photo-taking, recommended eateries, and was very enthusiastic and knowledgable.
Magical....full, fun day
