Nobbies Centre tours

Our tour guide, Curtis, was very enthusiastic. At first, he seemed a bit talkative, but he also gave us time to rest later on. The entire tour had plenty of time, and we never felt rushed, though some guests might have been a little late. The steam train experience was excellent; I was surprised we rode it for almost 45 minutes. I personally think most souvenirs aren't necessary to buy; it's better to use that time for photos and enjoying the scenery. When we went to see the penguins, I was surprised that the guide noticed I was wearing a skirt and asked if I was cold, even thoughtfully giving me a hand warmer. I'm not someone who gets cold easily, so I immediately gave the hand warmer to my friend who does. I highly recommend buying the deluxe seats because you'll be incredibly close to the penguins, almost within arm's reach, as you watch them come ashore and then return. It's absolutely worth it. Even more surprising was the sky full of stars; the scenery combined with the penguins was truly a perfect 100. Many thanks to the tour for this wonderful experience.

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!! 😄

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!

This tour is excellent and the tour guides are very professional.

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

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 👍🏻
