Phillip Island Penguin Parade & Wildlife Day Tour from Melbourne

Amazing experience. This is my 2nd time to book the Philip Island tour (first one was from another tour company) and this is way better than the 1st one I booked. The guide, John, was very engaging and entertaining. He told us interesting stories on the places we visited. Even told us a lot of fun facts of the animals native to Australia. Time for each location is just enough (not rushed). He is also very efficient, too. Took our orders in advance (optional) so we didn't have to wait long for our lunch. Also took our penguin parade tickets ahead so we were able to enter the venue while other tours are still outside on queue. I highly recommend this tour.

I went there with my friends, and we loved The Nobbies the most. It's a place you definitely shouldn't miss. However, we wish we had more time there. We only spent about 30 minutes at The Nobbies, and I don't think that was enough time to walk around and fully enjoy it. Overall, I loved this trip!!! And our guide, Craig, was very nice. 👍🏻

Elliot was a great guide and explained each part of the trip with care and detail. We managed to get on time to all of our destinations and have efficient time to see the spots. This trip is great for sightseeing and snapping photos. The penfuin Prade was spectacular and well presented. We went on a cold afternoon, so we advise to go well covered and perhaps grab a hot drink before seating to watch the penguins (no food, as the seagulls will come bother you quite often and may attack)

We had a great time on the Phillip Island tour! Our guide, Luke, was both knowledgeable and entertaining — he shared interesting facts and stories throughout the day that made the experience more engaging and fun. The itinerary was well-paced, and the stops were well chosen — from scenic coastal views to wildlife encounters, each place had something special to offer. Overall, a memorable day trip made even better by a fantastic guide. Highly recommended!

Phillip Island is truly a mesmerizing place to visit. The tour guide was incredibly humorous, telling lots of jokes during the drive. He also shared interesting cultural and historical insights along the way.

We had a great tour with our guide, Elliot, who kept us well informed throughout the day with interesting history, facts about the places we visited, and some entertaining anecdotes from his high school years. Although we experienced Melbourne’s famous “four seasons in one day” weather, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The highlights were the wildlife at the sanctuary, the spectacular views from Cape Woolamai and The Nobbies, and, of course, the cute little penguins. We didn’t have much time to watch the penguins emerging from the water and only managed to see a couple before heading up the boardwalk, where we saw a handful of penguins making their way to their burrows. Nevertheless, it was magical to see them up close and a truly memorable experience. Overall, it was a fantastic day, and we would highly recommend the tour. Elliot was a great guide and made the experience both informative and enjoyable.

enjoyable trip with no rushing from 1 place to another. love the moonlit sanctuary as we get to interact with the wallabies. love the penguin parade as we got to see those little penguins waddled back to their homes.

Guide was friendly and interactive. Got to see cute animals. Take note no taking of photos penguins due to conservation rules!

Fantastic day at Phillip Island! The wildlife tour and Penguin Parade were amazing. Craig, our guide, was brilliant—friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! 🐧🦘

The itinerary was rich, and the stops had first-class scenery. It's a shame the zoo visit was too short. The tour bus was clean and comfortable, highly recommended.
