We took a minibus and the scenery along the way was beautiful! The driver was very nice. My favorite spot in the itinerary was the first zoo, where you could touch kangaroos, which was super fun! The next two attractions were for rest, where you could eat, and the scenery was also very beautiful. The last penguin parade was really far away and couldn't be seen clearly. It was also forbidden to take photos and videos with your mobile phone after dark, so you couldn't see it very much. However, when you leave the viewing area and go back on the trail, you can hear the penguins up close and see them, which is very cute!

The tour guide curtis was friendly and good, serving as both tour guide and driver in his own hands. Very detailed explanation of the itinerary, and different places to be aware of places, time will not be very rushed. At the end of Penguin Island you can see many little penguins very happy. Since it was past eight when we got back to the city after the trip, he would recommend us what restaurants were good for the evening. Then we went to a recommended Chinese restaurant and ice cream shop that was really delicious. 10 points recommended.

The tour guide Curtis was great - he spoke English, Mandarin and Cantonese - three languages in turn! Will tell Tips and will explain the content but will give us time to rest! The place we went was very good, the Rainbow House was so deserted that we were able to take a lot of photos. The train was very lucky to be seated with the family, and was taken super many photos, and there were many passages to greet passers-by! Finally, Penguin Island is where you can really see penguins, small and cute!
