5.00Jools and gumnut led us on an excellent day. Penguins can be hard to see but we came across plenty of wildlife throughout the day. Our driver jools took extra care to show us Forrest caves too. Tour gets back at midnight.

5.00Our tour of Phillip Island was just amazing. Mike was so kind to us, clear in his explanations and willing to make us feel completely at ease. It’s mostly thanks to him if we really appreciated the beauties that Phillip Island has to offer.
Very funny helpful guide and passionate about the penguins and environment
