This has been the main highlight of our couple's retreat in Melbourne! The weather was fantastic, and we could watch the sunrise appearing in the horizon. The pilot, Nick, and his son were wonderful. They put everybody at ease with their humor and professionalism. It was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will remember forever. Highly recommend to go with Liberty!

Thank you so much to BHENNA pilots for such an unforgettable experience today. she patiently guided me through everything, taught me how to control and fly the plane step by step, and explained every detail so clearly and carefully. I could truly feel how attentive and professional she was throughout the whole experience. she also brought me to try some exciting roller-coaster-like movements in the plane, which made the entire journey even more thrilling and memorable. It was honestly such a fun, exciting, and happy experience for me. For anyone who has always wanted to try this for the first time, I really recommend giving it a chance. It definitely will not disappoint you. Thank you again for making today such an amazing memory.

Highly recommended! We met in the city center, and a private car took us to the estate. They allowed time for restroom breaks before the hot air balloon flight began. The entire process went smoothly, and we finished with breakfast.

We had an amazing Great Ocean Road tour with Mr. Philip! We visited the stunning London Bridge, Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, Razorback, a wildlife park, forest highway, kangaroo farm and Apollo Bay. Every stop was breathtaking and well worth the visit. Mr. Philip provided exceptional service throughout the trip. He was punctual, professional, friendly, and kept the entire tour well-organized from start to finish. He shared interesting information about each destination and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. We truly enjoyed every moment of the journey. The itinerary was well-planned, the timing was perfect, and everything ran smoothly. Thank you, Mr. Philip, for making our Great Ocean Road trip such a memorable and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!

Everything is absolutely perfect. We didn’t expect to have this kind of trip and having a good value for money. The overall experience is good and we will try again to book a similar tour to recommend friends and family members. The overall experience is good. I would love to have more time for great spots like the 12 apostles from 45 maybe an hour. Its perfect for me and worth the 5 stars

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.

The ride on the Puffing Billy steam train was truly impressive! Sitting on the open carriage window sills, dangling our legs outside, and feeling the breeze while passing through lush green forests was such an exciting experience! The penguin parade was incredible! I was grateful to see around 60 penguins—on average, about 700 penguins come out to the island each day. Australian penguins are the little penguin and irresistibly cute! I was also delighted to see baby Cape Barren Geese; they are utterly adorable! Our tour guide is knowledgeable and cares for our basic needs such as going to the bathroom and having our meals during the day. I highly recommend wearing enough clothing because Philip Island is very windy.
