Ting å gjøre i Penguin Parade

Even though I bought the cheapest tickets, I was incredibly lucky this time. We saw a group of little penguins (15 to 20 of them) come ashore and waddle along the beach back to their homes. Despite many people watching, I could clearly see them cleaning themselves and interacting with their companions. It was also quite novel to have seagulls fly so close to the audience. Combined with the sunset, it truly made me appreciate the beauty of nature. Since we visited at the end of June, the entire event started earlier, with entry around 4 PM. After watching their parade, it was about 7:30 PM, which left us time to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner. It was delicious, a perfect day.

En av de beste turene jeg har vært på. Luke var sjåfør og turguide. Han var svært kunnskapsrik og fantastisk. Jeg skulle ønske jeg hadde noen flere dager i Melbourne for å bestille Luke til en ny tur. Selve turen (reiseruten) var fantastisk, og Luke gjorde den enda mer minneverdig. Jeg kommer definitivt til å fortelle venner og familie om hvor flott opplevelsen var. Vi startet på Moonlit Sanctuary og matet wallabyer/kenguruer. Høydepunktet var å se den ville wallabyen mens vi kjørte til pingvinene. Det beste var å se de små pingvinene komme opp fra stranden og vralte opp i gresset. Gavebutikken var også flott. Det var en solrik, men definitivt vindfull dag. Gavebutikken hadde flotte broderte gensere og jakker med glidelås, samt tepper til salgs. Jeg elsker pingvinparaden. Stor takk til Luke for at han gjorde det så gøy også. Vi lyttet til spillelisten hans, og han sang.

Fantastisk opplevelse. Dette er min andre gang jeg bestiller Philip Island-turen (første gang var fra et annet turselskap), og denne er mye bedre enn den første jeg bestilte. Guiden, John, var veldig engasjerende og underholdende. Han fortalte oss interessante historier om stedene vi besøkte. Han fortalte oss til og med mange morsomme fakta om dyrene som er hjemmehørende i Australia. Tiden for hvert sted var akkurat nok (ikke forhastet). Han var også veldig effektiv. Tok bestillingene våre på forhånd (valgfritt) slik at vi ikke trengte å vente lenge på lunsjen. Han hentet også pingvinparadebillettene våre på forhånd, slik at vi kunne komme inn på stedet mens andre turer fortsatt sto i kø utenfor. Jeg anbefaler denne turen på det sterkeste.

Det var en uforglemmelig opplevelse da barna fikk melke en ku, se saueklipping, hunden gjete sauer og også se pingvinene svømme tilbake til land. Dette er alle veldig unike opplevelser som vi ikke finner noe annet sted. Vi storkoste oss.

Vår guide, Chris, var fantastisk. Han delte mange interessante anekdoter om stedene og dyrene, og med en god sans for humor. Jeg likte definitivt denne turen veldig godt.

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.

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.

Had a great time on this tour! We visited Brighton Beach, rode the Puffing Billy, and ended the day with the Penguin Parade. 🐧 Everything was well-organized and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Definitely recommend! ⭐️

We had a fantastic experience on our Puffing Billy trip, and a big part of that was thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Joe. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day enjoyable from start to finish. He made sure everyone was having a great time. We really appreciated his enthusiasm and professionalism. Thank you, Joe, for making our Puffing Billy trip so special! We would definitely recommend this tour, especially with a guide like Joe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
