Maru Koala and Animal Park tours

one of the best tours I’ve had. Luke was the driver and tour guide. He was highly knowledgeable and fantastic. I wish I had a few more days in Melbourne to book Luke for another tour. The tour (itinerary) itself was amazing and Luke made it even more memorable. I’ll definitely be telling my friends and family about how great the experience was. we started off at the Moonlit Sanctuary and fed wallabies/kangaroos. The highlight was spotting the wild wallaby as we drove to the penguins. The best part was seeing the little penguins come up from the beach and waddle up into the grass. the gift shop was great too. It was a sunny day but definitely windy. the gift shop had great embrodied jumpers and zip ups as well as blankets to purchase. I love the penguin parade. Great thank you to Luke for making it so fun too. We listened to his playlist and he sang.

Had a great time on this tour! We visited Brighton Beach, rode the Puffing Billy, and ended the day with the Penguin Parade. 🐧 Everything was well-organized and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Definitely recommend! ⭐️

I had such a wonderful time on the Puffing Billy Train & Penguin Parade Tour and a big part of that was because of David Hsu - An Amazing Tour Guide & Driver! From the very beginning, David gave us such a warm welcome and took care of everything throughout the day. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared interesting stories and information in both English and Chinese, which made the trip even more enjoyable. He was also excellent at managing the timing of the whole journey — everything felt smooth and well organised. And he even helped take photos for us like a professional photographer! As I was travelling solo, I was a little worried that the trip might feel lonely, but David made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. He brought so much positive energy and happiness to the group. He is more than just a professional tour guide — he genuinely cares about the people he travels with. Thank you, David Hsu, for making my solo trip such a happy and memorable experience!

Handsdown to the best tour i had in australia thus far. The guide Sean is friendly and safe in driving, and the trip to puffing billy, vineyard and chocolatarie has been an amazing experience because of his recommendations.

I was the only Japanese person on the tour, but Rick, our driver and guide, was incredibly kind and provided explanations in English just for me, which made me feel at ease and able to enjoy the entire day. At the Koala Park, he even helped me take photos with the kangaroos! The tour itinerary started at noon, so we returned late, but I didn't feel tired and thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Logan made the trip spectacular! Well planned trip and sufficient time to do everything! Logan guided us throughout the entire tour and explained very well. He followed everyone and made sure everyone was okay and cared of us very well. Came early as well and drove slower to let us spot some kangaroos on the way. Speaks both English and Mandarin. Super meticulous and thoughtful trip with Logan👍👍👍 1000000% recommend this!!

We spent the whole day observing the animals, and our guide was incredibly professional, providing detailed explanations at every stop. At Maru Koala and Animal Park, they introduced us to each animal individually, even knowing their personalities and relationships with one another! The island was full of wild animals, making the entire trip surprising and delightful.

Ricky L. was the tour guide and he did great job at managing the expectation of each timing for visiting different location (Puffing Billy Train - Maru Koala Animal Park - The Nobbies & Philip Island Penguin Parade).
