We booked the Wilsons Promontory & Penguin Parade – Private Tour with Great Private Tours, and our guide Marlene made it one of the best days of our Australia trip. From the start, Marlene set a great tone with a stop for excellent coffee/tea and a bite to eat. She also arranged an outstanding picnic lunch that we enjoyed at a pretty park with picnic tables—simple, fresh, and perfect for the setting. Throughout the day she offered lots of options to customize our time, including a broad range of dinner choices (from high-end to casual—we chose casual to maximize time at the sights). It’s a full-day tour with plenty of driving, and Marlene checked in on whether we preferred quiet time to relax or conversation. We opted for conversation, and she was a wealth of knowledge on Australian history, local stories, and the places we visited. Even better, she has a remarkable eye for wildlife: we saw a koala awake and feeding (and got great photos), plus kangaroos, wallabies, and numerous birds. She could identify trees, plants, and birds by their calls, which added so much depth to the experience. To cap it off, the tour included preferred viewing at the Penguin Parade. We had fantastic views of the adorable little penguins as they came ashore and made their way to their burrows—an unforgettable end to the day. Everything felt smooth, unhurried, and tailored to us. We highly recommend Marlene and Great Private Tours—professional, friendly, and outstanding at crafting a day you’ll remember.

What an amazing experience, beyond expectations, wonderful scenery, penguins fantastic and Steve was a wonderful guide, highly recommended trip. The bush walk through the rain forest was serene and beautiful, very walkable and Steve is an expert on the Prom, he brings the trip alive. His knowledge about the area made the trip meaningful. The penguin visit was equally a highlight, don’t miss the chance to see penguins close up. All in all this tour was the highlight of our trip.
