    Amazing trip to the beautiful Phillip Island. Our guide was friendly, very knowledgeable and kept our tour interesting and on schedule. We didn’t see as many penguins the night we went and it was very windy and cold. So, dress accordingly. Overall, a very fun experience !

    Nice excursion to Philipps island where I was able to see the main sites. The guide was good at keeping us on time which is important with such busy schedule.

    This was a fantastic trip and the penguins were so cute. It was lovely to walk and see them in their burrows and then see them coming in from the sea
