Things to do in Melbourne

We had an amazing experience on this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Melbourne! A huge thank you to Daniel for making the day so enjoyable. He was very organized and managed the schedule perfectly, which allowed us to visit every lookout at the right time without feeling rushed. Throughout the trip, he shared interesting facts, local insights, and plenty of useful information about Melbourne that made the experience even more memorable. Daniel also gave great food recommendations for lunch, which we really appreciated. Everything was well planned, stress-free, and enjoyable from start to finish. The tour was absolutely worth it, and all three of us in our group left very happy. Thanks again, Daniel, for a fantastic day!

This is an amazing experience that you should definitely try if you plan to travel in Melbourne. Our tour guide Tony was informative and gave insights on each of the destination areas. Highly recommended!

Tony was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. He gave a thorough explanation throughout our whole 12 hours or so journey...it is such a delightful experience! Thank you for the memories!

we had a great time with this pretty chill itenary. managed to really get an hour's ride on the puffing billy steam train and head straight down to Philip island to watch the penguine parade. we had plenty of time for lunch and dinner, best part there's no rush. a lil bit pricey for the tour but overall Mark our driver and guide was amazing. We also saw so many wild animals such as geese, wallaby, penguins and different types of birds along the way.

I really enjoyed this tour and appreciated how much effort Matt put into making the experience fun and informative. He shared lots of interesting information about Melbourne and Phillip Island, plus gave plenty of helpful recommendations before the tour ended. The itinerary was well-planned, and we had enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Matt even managed to squeeze in some extra spots so we could see kangaroos, wallabies, and other animals along the way. The Puffing Billy Railway ride was a nice experience, the views at The Nobbies during sunset were absolutely beautiful, and the little penguins were incredibly cute!! 😄

This itinerary was incredibly well-planned and packed with activities. Starting at 9 AM meant it wasn't too rushed, and as long as you stay near the train station, you can even enjoy breakfast at your hotel before heading out. Joe was fantastic, very patient, and always helped everyone take photos. He even took a short video for us on the mini-train, which was a wonderful keepsake, especially for someone traveling alone like me. We enjoyed delicious ice cream at the chocolate factory, then went wine tasting at a winery – you can't go to Australia without trying the wine! I also got to pet a kangaroo, which I'd always been curious about; their fur is so soft, and they're very friendly when there's food involved. We saw more koalas than we did at Taronga Zoo in Sydney. The penguin parade in the evening was a bit disappointing, though. Perhaps we were too far away, and it seemed quite different from what was advertised online. I also feel this island is perfect for a self-drive trip with an overnight stay; it's truly lovely.

Our tour guide, Curtis, was very enthusiastic. At first, he seemed a bit talkative, but he also gave us time to rest later on. The entire tour had plenty of time, and we never felt rushed, though some guests might have been a little late. The steam train experience was excellent; I was surprised we rode it for almost 45 minutes. I personally think most souvenirs aren't necessary to buy; it's better to use that time for photos and enjoying the scenery. When we went to see the penguins, I was surprised that the guide noticed I was wearing a skirt and asked if I was cold, even thoughtfully giving me a hand warmer. I'm not someone who gets cold easily, so I immediately gave the hand warmer to my friend who does. I highly recommend buying the deluxe seats because you'll be incredibly close to the penguins, almost within arm's reach, as you watch them come ashore and then return. It's absolutely worth it. Even more surprising was the sky full of stars; the scenery combined with the penguins was truly a perfect 100. Many thanks to the tour for this wonderful experience.

We had a great family visit to SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium. The kids loved the penguins, sharks, and underwater tunnel, and there were plenty of interactive exhibits to keep them entertained. The aquarium is clean, stroller-friendly, and easy to explore with children. It can get busy, but overall it’s a fun and educational attraction that’s well worth visiting for families with kids.

So fun! first time experience and found it very fun! so many animals to see. worth getting there and sticking around to the after noon where the tigers and snow leopards were more active. Staff were very friendly as well.
