Things to do in Phillip Island Wildlife Park

We really enjoyed this tour! The main highlight was the adorable penguins returning from the ocean! It was fascinating to see them return to shore and waddle towards their homes. Some even climbed up the mountains to get to them. We highly recommend going on this tour with Go West.

the arrangement is good in general, but there is insufficient time for us to explore the park at lakeside station. the tour guide even stopped the bus for us to watch the kangaroo in Philip island!

The tour content was excellent. Even when I misunderstood something due to difficulty understanding English, they corrected it, and I was able to enjoy myself. Thank you very much.

the guide is very detailed in giving important information and very patient and even trilingual :)

ride was smooth, driver was on time and we enjoyed all the attractions.

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.

Curtis is a humorous and reliable tour guide. He offered great tips for our trip to Phillip Island. While we were on Phillip Island, he also explained in detail the best spots to watch the penguins. When we arrived at the entrance of Maru Koala and Animal Park, the sheep shearing show was just about to start in five minutes. Curtis lead us along so we wouldn’t miss the wonderful performance. After the tour ended and we headed back to the city centre, he also recommended many delicious local restaurants. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with his professionalism and enthusiasm. Highly recommend!

Guide Hugh covered the whole itinerary in perfect timing. Manu Koala and Animal Park is small but you could see friendly kangaroos up close. Thankful for the great weather so the sunset at Nobbies Boardwalk was lovely. Paying extra for the premium stands allow a closer view of the penguins as they come in and also around the boardwalk.
