Melbourne Day trips

Very nice tour. Our bus driver and tour guide, Daniel, was very helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed the scenic reverse drive through the Great Ocean Road. The different stops and lookouts — from the London Bridge, Loch Ard Gorge and Razorback to the Twelve Apostles and the Memorial Arch. Everything was beautiful! Lunch was very late though so you need to make sure you have a hearty breakfast. Overall, would recommend this tour!

good value for money! it's really convenient booking the tour via klook vs driving on your own. you get around 20-30 mins on each place for a quick photo op. shout out to Tony, our tour guide. great job!

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.

it was a great experience with the tour. John (our guide) is really funny and very helpful thank you so much for taking care of us. I really enjoyed seeing the attractions and animals spotting. I’d recommend to friends for sure !

Great value for money! We went to 5 different locations because the weather was nice. First were the bathing boxes at Brighton Beach (wish we had more time to go around though), then the Puffing Billy which is a fun experience when traveling with kids. After lunch, we went to Maru Koala and Animal Park which was a big surprise because we enjoyed it a lot. Lastly, we went to The Nobbies and the Penguin Parade in Phillip Island. Our bus driver and tour guide, Curtis, was very good, helpful and accommodating. Overall, would recommend this tour here in Klook!

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.

Our guide, William, made the whole experience seamless from pick up to finish. He gave a detailed itinerary the night before and updated us on everything throughout the trip. The tour was a great way to do many things in a day. I tried looking for a way to get the Puffing Billy train tickets but it was way simpler to have it part of the tour. There were various discounted extras during the tour for the wine tasting, lunch(the beef was tasty and tender), and Maru Koala which I thought were good deals. The vehicle was a smaller 13person bus/van so it was a more personalized tour as well. The penguin parade is also later at night due to daylight savings, so it was very convenient to have the leisurely ride back to Melbourne. Overall had a great time.

Met the amazing tour guide and super reliable driver John, and spent a perfect day with a group of international travelers. Uncle John effortlessly conveyed to us ordinary people’s passion and dedication toward work under Australia’s higher education system. When talking about shipwrecks, he played the Titanic soundtrack; when discussing kangaroos, he blasted the "Kangaroo" song. And when we finally woke up and headed back to town, he flashed his lights three times and played “Together…” What an unforgettable day spent with such interesting people! Our group included folks from China, Japan, Italy… each speaking different languages, yet when everyone got off at their stops, we all said “bye-bye” together. I’m absolutely blown away by this experience—more than just the adventure itself, it was the genuine love and care Australians have for the wilderness that touched me most.

Views are beautiful! We saw wild penguins and kangaroos. I had an amazing time on this tour, and our guide, Jared, was absolutely outstanding! He is remarkably professional and has an incredible depth of knowledge about Australian history. Throughout the trip, I asked him so many questions, and he answered every single one effortlessly—even backing up his explanations with fascinating data and facts. Jared was also incredibly polite and thoughtful. When it came to watching the penguins, he shared some fantastic tips and strategies that helped us get the best experience possible. Even though it was a long 14-hour day, it felt completely engaging and fulfilling from start to finish. I learned so much from Jared today. I highly recommend taking a tour with him!
