The tour leader, David, is very responsible and helpful. He assists with filming, provides explanations along the way, drives very carefully, and allows sufficient time to explore the attractions.

🌟 *Unforgettable Day Tour in Australia – Moonlit Zoo & Penguin Parade* 🌟 This tour was hands-down one of the highlights of my trip to Australia! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and thoughtfully managed. The itinerary was seamless, with just the right balance of adventure, relaxation, and awe-inspiring wildlife encounters. Our guide, Rhys, was an absolute gem—funny, talkative, and full of energy. He kept the group engaged with fascinating stories, quirky facts, and a great sense of humor that made the day fly by. His detailed introductions at each stop showed how passionate and knowledgeable he is, and it really enhanced the experience. The Moonlight Zoo was magical, especially seeing animals closely in their natural rhythm. Penguin Parade is pure enchantment. Watching those tiny penguins waddle ashore under the stars was something I’ll never forget. Huge thanks to Rhys and the team for making it so special!

Tour guide Curtis was very dedicated and attentive, and the itinerary was arranged very appropriately. During the process, he provided explanations in both Mandarin and English. Although the itinerary was rich, it wasn't rushed. Highly recommended!

The meeting place, Mail Exchange Hotel, is very convenient, but the hotel does not allow non-guests to use the restrooms, so prepare in advance. There were about 10 people on a tour bus, and Leelee was our leader and driver for the day, very proactive in explaining things and driving very safely. The animals in the zoo are very close, but it's best to go early in the morning, because when it's too hot, the kangaroos won't come to be fed. The koalas are also very cute. Unfortunately, you can't take pictures on Penguin Island, but the experience is very enjoyable. Remember to wear a lot of clothes, because it's very cold.
