Phillip Island Nature and Penguin Parade Exploration Tour

I really enjoyed this tour and appreciated how much effort Matt put into making the experience fun and informative. He shared lots of interesting information about Melbourne and Phillip Island, plus gave plenty of helpful recommendations before the tour ended. The itinerary was well-planned, and we had enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Matt even managed to squeeze in some extra spots so we could see kangaroos, wallabies, and other animals along the way. The Puffing Billy Railway ride was a nice experience, the views at The Nobbies during sunset were absolutely beautiful, and the little penguins were incredibly cute!! 😄

Terry was hands down the best Aussie guide I’ve had. The small bus tour was brilliant from start to finish, with great stories, sharp jokes, easy conversation and some of the best travel photography spots along the way. The day covered Puffing Billy and the Phillip Island Penguin Parade, but what made it stand out was how Terry ran everything. Tight ship, smooth timing, no stress, and the whole trip moved like clockwork without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a fun, well-organised and memorable day out. Keep your fingers crossed that you'll get Terry!

the guide pick us at Adina apartment Firsth we go to Koala conservation reserve,2hours from city.Stay 1hr,its enough if only see koala, walk straight to koala board walk. Next is cowes, enjoy the beach picnic view. Better took a picnic bag full of food for lunch, so you can enjoy the beach. We just have time 1 hours, and no fast food restaurant. Take 40min to order and get the food from reg restaurant. Next stop is nobbies center. Beach view with rock and bridge. Nice place to take a lot of photo,stop just 15min,So be quick. Then we go to Nature park to see pingguin parade. Firsth we buy some philip island souvenir. Then we went to boardbwalk, take a seat. Waiting for sunset and pingguin. Around 8to9pm one by one little pingguin slowly walk to the shore with the big tummy. Then we walk along the board back to main building. Throughout the board walk we can saw lot of little pingguin walking back to the nest in the sand. So dont be hurry. what an interesting experience. Love it.

​"I’m so glad I booked this tour! Booking Puffing Billy on my own was nearly impossible as tickets sell out so fast, so I’m thrilled the tour could secure our spots. The experience was amazing! ​Our guide was incredibly kind and lovely, sharing fascinating stories throughout the trip. A major highlight was seeing wallabies in their natural habitat—watching them in the wild was such a special moment. ​Also, when we were at Phillip Island, the guide was so thoughtful. They helped us find a great spot for dinner that was both delicious and very affordable. If you're looking for a tour that is well-organized and truly cares about your experience, this is the one!"

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!

It was an amazing experience. We visited the Moonlight Sanctuary, where we saw all sorts of Australian animals. After that, we went to the beach to see the penguins. It was breathtaking. Bob, our guide, was very patient and funny, making the entire trip very enjoyable.

Fantastic day tour with Matthew—funny, knowledgeable, and caring. Puffing Billy steam train was sadly cut short by a fallen tree, but the charm remained. Stevenson Falls, wild zoo, and watching penguins return home made it a truly memorable experience.

Even though it rained the whole day and the Nobbies was closed, the tour was still amazing! Puffing Billy through the forest was a unique experience, Brighton Beach was still a vibe, and the penguin parade at Phillip Island made it all worth it. Everything was well-organized
