Lunch at a lovely coastal town, koalas and wallabies, then many adorable penguins… it was a well-paced and thoroughly enjoyable day. Fiona’s enthusiasm was infectious 😊
Just the best!

It was a great experience to see penguins coming out of ocean! Craig was an amazing tour guide with the great knowledge of the area! We saw some Koalas on the way as well.

This was an absolutely amazing trip from start to finish. Our guide Catherine was an absolute gem and we learnt so much from her. She was so friendly and really had time for everyone and shows us all the best spots.. The coach was not too big and very comfortable and they managed to pick us up just near our hotel in Melbourne which was a bonus. We absolutely loved the time at the koala sanctuary and it was lovely to walk among the boardwalk and see the koalas in their natural habitat. We had Time in cows for dinner and our guide pointed out plenty of options of places to eat eat and made sure she got us there extra early before the other coachloads arrived so we have plenty of time to eat before the hoards descended. But the penguin was obviously the highlight And is something that we will never forget. The VIP tickets were well worth it as we had brilliant viewing and were so much closer than the other platforms. A really special trip and very well organised - highly recommend
Our guide was great. Gave...

Our guide was great. Gave us a bit of a history and geography lesson. He also walked the extra mile to drop us off nearer to where we were staying. Thank you “bald man with flashing siren lights”. Haha
