Melbourne Outdoor & sports activities

Arrived the area at 9.47am and there was no one around so I was quite stressed about not getting the correct pick up location. It would be good if the email could include a picture of the pick up point. Other than that, best tour I had so far. Ride on the train was okay. Good to experience as a first time tourist in Australia, especially since our country does not have operating steam trains. Wish we had more time at the gift shop at Puffing Billy. It started raining on our way to Philip Island. It was very very cold so my mom and I left the viewing area very quickly after spotting some penguins. Video and photography is not allowed. Neither are umbrellas or standing up. They are quite strict on that so that we do not startle the penguins in their habitat. Our guide Simon was the best. Kept us all entertained and interacted with us, making sure everyone was alright.

The pickup point is very close to the CBD and just a few tram stops away. Before your activity, you will receive an email telling you where to wait. There is no need to arrive too early because the vehicle arrives right on time. It takes about an hour and a half to get to the skydive location. Upon arrival, you will watch an instructional video, followed by registration and gearing up for the jump. The whole process is very quick. I arrived around 9:30 AM that day and was able to catch the bus back to the city by 12:45 PM. If you purchase the photo and video package, you will generally get all your media within about half an hour after the jump. The whole experience is quite efficient and a lot of fun, though whether the photos and videos turn out well is really a matter of luck. They claim to give you over 300 photos, but whether every single one is usable is another story. All in all, for anyone who has never tried it before, the value for money is pretty decent.

fun and worth to visit! we enjoyed the interaction with kangaroos, alpaca, and koalas.

Grampians is just great! Our guide Gerard is very knowledgeable and nice as well.
