Nobbies Centre tours

Today was the long-awaited Puffing Billy and Penguin Parade day tour! We met at Spencer Street at 9:30 AM, and our first stop was the Brighton Bathing Boxes! We took so many beautiful photos! It truly lived up to its reputation! We finally checked that off our list! Then we set off for Puffing Billy! It was an hour's drive, a unique experience! In between, we opted to visit a farm called Maru, where we got up close with kangaroos, which was so much fun! (We stayed for an hour and a half.) After that, we headed to see the penguins! We waited for an hour, standing in a prime spot for a close-up view. The penguins were so cute and tiny! I heard a foreigner next to me describe the whole parade as "fascinating," and I think that's a perfect description! It was definitely worth the price! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ Finally, a big thank you to our guide and driver, Uncle Steven, for giving us such a wonderful experience! Thank you!

This trip was well worth the money. We had an amazing guide named Jess that was very knowledgeable and kept an upbeat energy for the entire day. We given a good amount of time to explore each stop and opportunities to see wildlife. Highly recommend this tour!

This was a tremendous experience! Our guide Ben is super nice and knowledgeable. He provided us with interesting information of Melbourne and the animals (in particularly the Little Penguins). He also managed the time very well so that we could have sufficient time to enjoy the views and watch animals and also to have dinner etc. I will highly recommend this tour and thank you Ben for providing a wonderful experience!

Although the tour guide will not accompany you throughout the journey and the price is not cheap, you will be given a brief introduction during the drive. The scenic spots visited are also very beautiful, and it saves you the transportation problem of going there by yourself. If there are a small number of tourists who do not drive by themselves, this is highly recommended. At the end of the itinerary, it is recommended that penguins returning to Phillip Island not stay at the beach for too long! If you return to the trail area early, you will be able to see the little penguins returning home more closely~ You can also look around the trail area before it gets dark, and you can really see the lone penguins!

The trip is by Wine Hop & Coastal Tours. Our guide name was Philip (Phil) and he handled the trip super well. He shared a lot of information through the mic in our tour van and was super cheerful thrughout the day. We enjoyed the trip to brighton beach, moonlit sanctuary, philip island, and penguin parade. 🫶🏻 Despite it was on off raining, my friends and I enjoyed the trip. Do ensure you arrive at the pick up spot on time for smooth travel 👍🏻

Fabulous trip with a lot of natures views and exciting highlight of the day - pinguines parade. they are so tiny but really cute and we liked that we were so lucky to watch them in the natural environment. we recommend to buy food for dinner as take away at the scenic stop on Cowes beach as crowd at the visitor center (at pinguine parade area) is enormous and you won’t be getting your food on time. kitchen is closed after the parade of course. we had great stop at the small zoo with quokkas, coalas and kangaroos. our guide was very attentive and we highly recommend him - Mr Curtis. thanks for the amazing day! adventure is kids friendly as long as your kids can stay on the bus for the long time, but there enough stops in the way

phillip island was a must-go! saw many cute penguins and really convenient to follow a tour instead of going ourselves

Matt and Scott from EA were wonderful guides that made the experience so much fun. We got to see wild koalas, an echidna, wallabies, penguins and cape barren geese. We were also shown around a farm on French Island and got to see lovely farm animals.
