Penguin Parade tours

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.

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.

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.

Our guide, William, made the whole experience seamless from pick up to finish. He gave a detailed itinerary the night before and updated us on everything throughout the trip. The tour was a great way to do many things in a day. I tried looking for a way to get the Puffing Billy train tickets but it was way simpler to have it part of the tour. There were various discounted extras during the tour for the wine tasting, lunch(the beef was tasty and tender), and Maru Koala which I thought were good deals. The vehicle was a smaller 13person bus/van so it was a more personalized tour as well. The penguin parade is also later at night due to daylight savings, so it was very convenient to have the leisurely ride back to Melbourne. Overall had a great time.

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.

puffing billy is a must during Melbourne visit. 40mins from CBD. great experience. on the other hand, penguin parade in Philip island is a bit far. there are some closer beaches where you can see it also.

The guide was friendly and offered excellent advice, providing us with full assistance. They were patient and very attentive, making us feel like we were receiving VIP-level care.
