Phillip Island tours

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.

Our guide Rhys was cheerful and funny. He is always waiting for us on time and his introduction was clear and informative. The minivan was comfy and clean, but it would be better if there is overhead storage for each passenger.

Our guide, Chris was wonderful. He was able to share many interesting anecdotes on the sites and animals and with a great sense of humour. Definitely enjoyed this trip a lot.

Fulfilling tour. Every spot is timed so you get to see all the sites but with limited time. We departed 12.30pm and returned 11.30pm. Our bus was of medium size, around 25 people which was comfortable and helped us move quickly. Puffing Billy was a cute experience. Just skip shopping and board immediately to secure a seat on the “better” right-hand side of the cart. Penguin experience was amazing, you can see them really up close. We get the PREMIUM PLUS SEATS. But Premium seats are not really necessary though you can upgrade to easily see penguins coming from the beach. if you are under General Admission, it’s best skip the beach and just directly stand on the broadwalk on the right-hand side and wait for them there. It’s one of the penguin highways they'll definitely walk pass. Keep in mind photos/videos are NOT allowed to protect the penguins. Overall very fulfilling day. Our guide Troy was very helpful too. highly recommend ,oh and we c WILD wallaby, echidna, and snake as well!!!

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!

we have spent a wonderful day with Vicky from Autopia. my best tour in Melbourne with 31 other tourists. Philip island was full of surprises from koalas, wallabies, huge birds & most importantly the penguins. so lucky to be able to witness the whole vaccination process done professionally.

If you are having second thoughts of booking this tour, this should be the sign to book it. The experience is worth every penny you’ll be spending!! Our tour guide’s the best! Daniel was on time with the pick up and drop off. He gave us enough time for every stop and time to rest in the car. Most importantly, he drives safely. He also give lots of interesting information while we are on travel. Thank you!

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.

The guide was friendly and offered excellent advice, providing us with full assistance. They were patient and very attentive, making us feel like we were receiving VIP-level care.
