5.00Wonderful experience. I wasn't excited about the penguins until I saw the penguins. Now I'm glad I did it. The koalas were their cute, lazy selves. Lots of Insta-ready spots. Even though I was solo traveling, people were happy to take my photo. If you do the Immigration Museum as the pickup spot, it is on the side of the building.

3.00The tour operator Autopia changed pick up location without telling me. Many other tourists also did not receive the new location. Only One of the stranger tourists received a new location email. The bus was late, adding more anxiety to the situation. The driver never said anything about it… the sites we visited were nice. Otherwise you would have to drive on your own for two hours one way…
A truly memorable experience
