Penguin Parade-turer

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.

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.

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!

Guiden vår, Rhys, var blid og morsom. Han ventet alltid på oss i tide, og introduksjonen hans var tydelig og informativ. Minibussen var komfortabel og ren, men det hadde vært bedre med hattehylle til hver passasjer.

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.

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 had a wonderful trip to Phillip Island guided by James. James slowed down the coach to help us spot the Aussie wildlife along the way. He told us a lot about their habits. After arriving at the visitor centre, he suggested the best route to spot the little penguins. The penguins were adorable. On the way back to Melbourne, James also gave us some recommendations of local coffee and snacks. We all had a great time.

Puffing Billy er et must under et besøk i Melbourne. 40 minutter fra sentrum. En flott opplevelse. Pingvinparaden på Phillip Island er derimot litt langt unna. Det finnes noen nærmere strender hvor du også kan se dem.

A great tour to experience the wildlife at Phillip Island, including the Penguin Parade and surrounding natural attractions. The coach bus was comfortable, and the overall journey was smooth and well-organised. A nice touch was the complimentary coffee at the pick-up point near the Melbourne Arts Centre, which made the early start more enjoyable. Our guide, Sue, was fantastic throughout the trip. The bus has an in-built microphone system, allowing her to share clear live commentary while driving, including interesting explanations about the route, history, and surroundings. The tour was also well-coordinated despite split groups—some headed for the seal-watching cruise while others went wine tasting. Sue managed both groups efficiently, setting clear expectations and ensuring everyone was well guided and on schedule. Overall, a very enjoyable and well-run experience with great wildlife encounters and a professional, attentive guide.
