Fantastic 5.0
Even though I bought the cheapest tickets, I was incredibly lucky this time. We saw a group of little penguins (15 to 20 of them) come ashore and waddle along the beach back to their homes. Despite many people watching, I could clearly see them cleaning themselves and interacting with their companions. It was also quite novel to have seagulls fly so close to the audience. Combined with the sunset, it truly made me appreciate the beauty of nature. Since we visited at the end of June, the entire event started earlier, with entry around 4 PM. After watching their parade, it was about 7:30 PM, which left us time to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner. It was delicious, a perfect day.

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! ⭐️

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.

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.

we have spent a wonderful day with Vicky from Autopia. my best tour in Melbourne with 31 other tourists. Philip island was full of surprises from koalas, wallabies, huge birds & most importantly the penguins. so lucky to be able to witness the whole vaccination process done professionally.

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.

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.

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!
