Maru Koala and Animal Park-turer

Reiselederen Curtis var veldig entusiastisk, og i begynnelsen kunne man kanskje synes han snakket mye. Men han ga oss også tid til å hvile senere. Hele turen hadde god tid, og vi følte oss ikke stresset i det hele tatt, selv om noen gjester kanskje var litt forsinket. Opplevelsen med damptoget var veldig bra, og jeg ble overrasket over at vi satt på det i nesten 45 minutter. De fleste suvenirene trengte man etter min mening ikke å kjøpe; det var bedre å bruke tiden på å ta bilder og nyte utsikten. Da vi kom for å se pingvinene, ble jeg overrasket over at reiselederen, da han så jeg hadde på meg skjørt, spurte om jeg frøs og ga meg en varmepute. Jeg er ikke en person som fryser lett, så jeg ga varmeputen til vennen min som fryser lett. Jeg anbefaler på det sterkeste å kjøpe luksusseter, for når du ser dem komme i land og deretter dra tilbake, er du nesten bare to håndflater unna dem, noe som er veldig verdt det. Enda mer overraskende var den stjerneklare himmelen; utsikten kombinert med pingvinene var virkelig 100 poeng. Tusen takk for denne opplevelsen.

Overall, the tour was good, although the itinerary felt a bit rushed. There were so many places to visit, but not enough time to fully enjoy each one. The highlights of our trip were definitely the rainforest tour and the Puffing Billy experience—they were absolutely superb! I’d also like to give special recognition to our tour guide, Mr. Joe Chan. He was incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating throughout the trip. He went above and beyond by helping us take photos and videos, making sure we captured wonderful memories together. We truly appreciated his thoughtfulness and exceptional service. Thank you, Mr. Joe Chan, for making our experience even more enjoyable. Kudos to you!

I really enjoyed this tour and appreciated how much effort Matt put into making the experience fun and informative. He shared lots of interesting information about Melbourne and Phillip Island, plus gave plenty of helpful recommendations before the tour ended. The itinerary was well-planned, and we had enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Matt even managed to squeeze in some extra spots so we could see kangaroos, wallabies, and other animals along the way. The Puffing Billy Railway ride was a nice experience, the views at The Nobbies during sunset were absolutely beautiful, and the little penguins were incredibly cute!! 😄

Had a great day on this tour! Vance was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable on and shared lots of interesting info throughout the journey. We started at Brighton Beach for some cute instagrammable photos with the iconic rainbow bathing boxes, followed by the Puffing Billy train ride with its stunning scenic views. There was also enough time at the various stops and we even got to interact with some wild animals along the way. The Penguin Parade was a lovely way to end the day - real cute creatures! Highly recommend for first-time visitors to Melbourne! 😊

This tour worth every penny you spent. Driver and tour guide Evan is bilingual, he speaks in Mandarin and English. Evan is nice and informative. The itinerary and introduction of everything he provided is clear. we go puffing train railway directly, and spent 2hrs there including having lunch by ourselves. Taking the train is so much fun! If the weather is good, the view is super nice! We love it a lot. The train took around one hour from Lakeside to Belgrave. Then we headed to the Maru Koala animal park. Evan bought the group ticket for everyone, it costs $30 per person cheaper than the original price $33. The zoo has many animal, like kangaroos, white kangaroos, koalas, quokka, alpacas, dingoes, sheep and some reptiles. We can get so close with animal and take selfie, it was a great experience and we enjoyed a lot. Definitely will recommend this tour to everyone visiting Melbourne. The puffing train is one of the must do thing in Melbourne.

Selv om guiden ikke er med hele veien og prisen ikke er billig, vil det være en enkel introduksjon under kjøreturen, og stedene vi besøker er veldig vakre. Det sparer også bryet med å ordne transport selv. Hvis dere er få personer og ikke kjører selv, anbefales denne turen på det sterkeste. Til slutt vil jeg anbefale å ikke oppholde seg for lenge ved stranden under pingvinparaden på Phillip Island! Hvis du går tilbake til stien tidligere, kan du se de små pingvinene komme hjem på mye nærmere hold. Før det blir mørkt kan du også se deg rundt i nærheten av stien, og du kan faktisk se pingviner som har kommet bort fra flokken!

Logan made the trip spectacular! Well planned trip and sufficient time to do everything! Logan guided us throughout the entire tour and explained very well. He followed everyone and made sure everyone was okay and cared of us very well. Came early as well and drove slower to let us spot some kangaroos on the way. Speaks both English and Mandarin. Super meticulous and thoughtful trip with Logan👍👍👍 1000000% recommend this!!

Vi hadde en fantastisk privat endagstur til Phillip Island for å se koalaene og pingvinparaden med min beste venn og hennes herlige datter. Sjåføren vår, Chen, var utmerket – veldig snill, profesjonell og gjorde hele turen så smidig og hyggelig. Hans nye Kia Carnival 2025 var romslig og komfortabel, perfekt for en avslappende reise. Vi følte oss veldig godt ivaretatt hele dagen. Takk, Chen, for at du gjorde turen vår så minneverdig!
