The Nobbies-turer

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.

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! ⭐️

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.

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.

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.

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.

I had such a wonderful time on the Puffing Billy Train & Penguin Parade Tour and a big part of that was because of David Hsu - An Amazing Tour Guide & Driver! From the very beginning, David gave us such a warm welcome and took care of everything throughout the day. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared interesting stories and information in both English and Chinese, which made the trip even more enjoyable. He was also excellent at managing the timing of the whole journey — everything felt smooth and well organised. And he even helped take photos for us like a professional photographer! As I was travelling solo, I was a little worried that the trip might feel lonely, but David made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. He brought so much positive energy and happiness to the group. He is more than just a professional tour guide — he genuinely cares about the people he travels with. Thank you, David Hsu, for making my solo trip such a happy and memorable experience!

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.
