Phillip Island Wildlife Cruise en Penguins Tour vanuit Melbourne

Over het algemeen een goede ervaring! Onze chauffeur/gids Perry was uitstekend, hij deelde interessante feiten over Melbourne en de Philip Islands. Hij beheerde de groep ook goed. Het was een vrij kleine groep van 15 personen, waarvan sommigen van ons de cruise deden en de rest een andere route volgde. De zeehondenrots-cruise was erg interessant, hoewel we zouden aanraden om van tevoren reisziektemedicatie in te nemen!

Great tour to see the wildlife in Philip Island. The guide is helpful and the coach bus is comfortable. And there’s a complimentary coffee at the pick-up spot at Melbourne Art. Centre

Thanks Sue for taking care of me and her kindness ,it really makes me feel warm even I’m traveling by myself.I deeply appreciate and admire her hospitality,hope someday I can be as generous and kind like she does!Wish that I can see her soon,this trip might be the best and memorable moment in Australia 🤍💖

It was a rainy day, but is still a special experience to see so many seals in their natural habitat. Moonlit sanctuary was alright. Better get a raincoat for penguins parade so you could sit down, you are not allowed to use an umbrella as you would be blocking other people’s views.

The seal watching cruise was amazing, but the penguin parade was overrated. There’re actually not many penguins. Also, it was dark and the penguins were quite far away, so you wouldn’t see clearly. We joined this tour and another one from Go West Tours while visiting Australia. Our experience with Go West Tours was better, but this is the only tour that includes the seal watching cruise.

Had a pleasant and relaxing trip. The local tour agent was friendly, patience, and jovial. Phillip Island is a beautiful place with clear blue sky. The Penguin Tour was a bit disappointing as we only got to see ~10 penguins walking back to shore out of the >400 penguins. Overall experience was good.

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.

Mike and Michael were the best tour guides. Every moment was well planned and wonderful. Although our family did not do the wine tour, we sectioned off with Michael for a bit and were given a custom experience with recommendations of things to do on Phillip Island. A beautiful day was had by our entire family!

Great trip! Yuri, our guide was amazing, funny, knowledgable and Lso kind. we were able to cover all spots in the time and never felt hurried. We hgot the coffee, had great wifi, shargings pits and also sparkling wine during the time on road! Higly recommend the trip!

We had a wonderful trip today with Sue Verhey on this tour - she was very informative, responsible and enthusiastic- going above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable and memorable day. Would strongly recommend this tour by Local Way Tours and with Sue as your guide you will be guaranteed an excellent time!
