Ting at lave i Penguin Parade

Selvom jeg købte de billigste billetter, var jeg rigtig heldig denne gang, da vi så en flok små pingviner (15-20 stk.) gå i land, og vi fulgte dem endda, da de gik langs kysten tilbage til deres reder. Selvom der var en del tilskuere undervejs, kunne jeg tydeligt se dem rense sig selv og kommunikere med deres artsfæller. Desuden fløj måger tæt på tilskuerne, hvilket var yderst fascinerende. Sammen med solnedgangen fik det mig virkelig til at mærke naturens skønhed. Da vi besøgte stedet i slutningen af juni, startede hele arrangementet allerede klokken fire, og efter at have set deres parade sluttede det omkring klokken 7:30. Vi nåede også at spise aftensmad på en restaurant i nærheden. Det smagte fantastisk, en perfekt dag.

Amazing experience. This is my 2nd time to book the Philip Island tour (first one was from another tour company) and this is way better than the 1st one I booked. The guide, John, was very engaging and entertaining. He told us interesting stories on the places we visited. Even told us a lot of fun facts of the animals native to Australia. Time for each location is just enough (not rushed). He is also very efficient, too. Took our orders in advance (optional) so we didn't have to wait long for our lunch. Also took our penguin parade tickets ahead so we were able to enter the venue while other tours are still outside on queue. I highly recommend this tour.

Vores guide, Chris, var fantastisk. Han delte mange interessante anekdoter om seværdighederne og dyrene med en god sans for humor. Vi nød helt bestemt denne tur rigtig meget.

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!

Our guide Rhys was cheerful and funny. He is always waiting for us on time and his introduction was clear and informative. The minivan was comfy and clean, but it would be better if there is overhead storage for each passenger.

Vores guide, William, gjorde hele oplevelsen problemfri fra afhentning til slutning. Han gav en detaljeret rejseplan aftenen før og holdt os opdateret om alt under hele turen. Turen var en fantastisk måde at nå mange ting på en enkelt dag. Jeg forsøgte at finde ud af, hvordan man køber billetter til Puffing Billy-toget, men det var meget nemmere at have det inkluderet som en del af turen. Der var forskellige rabatter på tilkøb undervejs til vinsmagning, frokost (oksekødet var velsmagerende og mørt) og Maru Koala, hvilket jeg syntes var rigtig gode tilbud. Køretøjet var en mindre bus/van med plads til 13 personer, så det var også en mere personlig tur. Pingvinparaden foregår desuden senere på aftenen på grund af sommertid, så det var meget belejligt at få en afslappet køretur tilbage til Melbourne. Alt i alt havde vi en dejlig oplevelse.

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!

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.

​I can truly recommend this tour and would do it again in a heartbeat! We got to do and see even more than expected, and it never felt rushed at all! For example, we even did a lovely walk through the rainforest. ​Riding the historic Puffing Billy was truly special, and the little penguins are just super cute! A great tip for the penguin parade: it is well worth staying a bit longer. Many people leave after 10 minutes, but if you stay, the crowds thin out and you get a much better view. ​Our guide, Matty, was amazing—a true local full of insider knowledge who even shared a custom website with top Melbourne recommendations.
