Какво да правите в The Nobbies

Even though I bought the cheapest tickets, I was incredibly lucky this time. We saw a group of little penguins (15 to 20 of them) come ashore and waddle along the beach back to their homes. Despite many people watching, I could clearly see them cleaning themselves and interacting with their companions. It was also quite novel to have seagulls fly so close to the audience. Combined with the sunset, it truly made me appreciate the beauty of nature. Since we visited at the end of June, the entire event started earlier, with entry around 4 PM. After watching their parade, it was about 7:30 PM, which left us time to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner. It was delicious, a perfect day.

Great value for money! We went to 5 different locations because the weather was nice. First were the bathing boxes at Brighton Beach (wish we had more time to go around though), then the Puffing Billy which is a fun experience when traveling with kids. After lunch, we went to Maru Koala and Animal Park which was a big surprise because we enjoyed it a lot. Lastly, we went to The Nobbies and the Penguin Parade in Phillip Island. Our bus driver and tour guide, Curtis, was very good, helpful and accommodating. Overall, would recommend this tour here in Klook!

Страхотно изживяване. Това е вторият път, в който резервирам обиколката на остров Филип (първият път беше с друга туристическа агенция) и тази е много по-добра от първата. Екскурзоводът Джон беше изключително интересен и забавен. Той ни разказа увлекателни истории за местата, които посетихме, както и много любопитни факти за местните австралийски животни. Времето за всяка дестинация беше напълно достатъчно (без да бързаме). Той е и много организиран – събра предварително поръчките ни за обяд (по желание), така че не се наложи да чакаме дълго. Освен това взе билетите ни за парада на пингвините предварително, за да можем да влезете в комплекса, докато другите групи все още чакаха на опашка отвън. Горещо препоръчвам тази екскурзия.

Нашият гид Рийс беше весел и забавен. Той винаги ни чакаше навреме, а въведението му беше ясно и информативно. Миниванът беше удобен и чист, но щеше да е по-добре да има багажник над седалките за всеки пътник.

Views are beautiful! We saw wild penguins and kangaroos. I had an amazing time on this tour, and our guide, Jared, was absolutely outstanding! He is remarkably professional and has an incredible depth of knowledge about Australian history. Throughout the trip, I asked him so many questions, and he answered every single one effortlessly—even backing up his explanations with fascinating data and facts. Jared was also incredibly polite and thoughtful. When it came to watching the penguins, he shared some fantastic tips and strategies that helped us get the best experience possible. Even though it was a long 14-hour day, it felt completely engaging and fulfilling from start to finish. I learned so much from Jared today. I highly recommend taking a tour with him!

Our guide, Chris was wonderful. He was able to share many interesting anecdotes on the sites and animals and with a great sense of humour. Definitely enjoyed this trip a lot.

we have spent a wonderful day with Vicky from Autopia. my best tour in Melbourne with 31 other tourists. Philip island was full of surprises from koalas, wallabies, huge birds & most importantly the penguins. so lucky to be able to witness the whole vaccination process done professionally.

We had a wonderful trip to Phillip Island guided by James. James slowed down the coach to help us spot the Aussie wildlife along the way. He told us a lot about their habits. After arriving at the visitor centre, he suggested the best route to spot the little penguins. The penguins were adorable. On the way back to Melbourne, James also gave us some recommendations of local coffee and snacks. We all had a great time.

A great tour to experience the wildlife at Phillip Island, including the Penguin Parade and surrounding natural attractions. The coach bus was comfortable, and the overall journey was smooth and well-organised. A nice touch was the complimentary coffee at the pick-up point near the Melbourne Arts Centre, which made the early start more enjoyable. Our guide, Sue, was fantastic throughout the trip. The bus has an in-built microphone system, allowing her to share clear live commentary while driving, including interesting explanations about the route, history, and surroundings. The tour was also well-coordinated despite split groups—some headed for the seal-watching cruise while others went wine tasting. Sue managed both groups efficiently, setting clear expectations and ensuring everyone was well guided and on schedule. Overall, a very enjoyable and well-run experience with great wildlife encounters and a professional, attentive guide.
