Excursão para ver a Parada dos Pinguins na Ilha Phillip saindo de Melbourne

Tuvimos un día increíble explorando el Santuario de Koalas y el Desfile de Pingüinos, ¡todo gracias a nuestro guía, Anthony! Fue profesional, conocedor y se esforzó al máximo para asegurarse de que todos lo pasaran genial. Sus conocimientos sobre la vida silvestre local enriquecieron mucho la experiencia.

A must go for nature lovers. We were able to sight numerous Koalas, Wallabies, cape barren goose before finally able to meet little penguins. It was hassle free booking on klook. It was my first experience on this platform, hence I opted for No show refund as well. However, felt great after reaching the location. Tour guide simply matched names, no more questions asked. There were no hidden charges or misouts. You will get whatever is mentioned on itinerary. I went forward to book my Great Ocean Road trip after this

Fiona was absolutely amazing. She single-handedly managed the entire tour, from driving the bus and sharing stories to looking out for us. It was a great way to learn about the conservation efforts for the very precious koalas and penguins. The bus was also clean with Wi-Fi provided, and USB charging ports were available. We just wished we had more time to enjoy the delicious lunch and explore the area. I definitely recommend everyone try it. Cheers!

I went with Autopia Tours. It was amazing, I just wish we had more time during the lunch break to explore Phillip Island (which could mean an earlier departure). Fiona was amazing; she gave us tips on where to sit to watch the penguins and where the wind direction was. We got to see hundreds of penguins. Don't sit by the beach for long; walk around, and you can see them walking. We also saw koalas, although they were sleeping. Please wear comfortable, warm clothing if you go during winter and waterproof jackets/raincoats in case it rains. For Muslims, there's a halal kebab option if your tour stops at Cowes town. We arrived back at Melbourne CBD at about 8:30 PM.

I bought a last-minute tour in the morning and it was valid for the same day's tour. The guide was very cheerful and enthusiastic. The bus was comfortable, but the time spent at the highlight, The Nobbies, was only 30 minutes, which was a bit too short. This area should have been given 1 hour to walk around and take photos of nature. Too much time was spent waiting at the Penguin Parade before the 2-hour viewing time. I recommend buying the Express ticket because you'll see more clearly.

Coach was able to pick us up right in front of our hotel. The tour included a visit to the Koala Reserve, where we were lucky to have seen koalas that were not sleeping. Tour guide brought us to a place near the penguin islands before the parade, where there were more choices for dinner at a cheaper price. We weren't able to get the penguin plus for a close look, but we went early to get a closer seat at the general view and we were lucky to see some penguins coming up in front of us. Sunsets late in summer so we left the islands at 2130, bus was on time to drop us back to hotel at 2330. Remember to bring enough clothes since the beach was chilling cold even in summer.

We were picked up on time at Crown Towers hotel. It has a lot of entrances so make sure you are at the correct entrance between Prada and Louis Vuitton. We did a quick stop at Tooradin town to get takeaway lunch. We then stopped at the Koala Conservation center, the Nobbies, and the Penguin Parade venue. Seeing the little penguins in their natural habitat was great. Too bad photography and videography is not allowed due to people forgetting to turn off their camera’s flash.

The tour guide is very caring, gentle, and professional. They took us to see as much as possible. I enjoyed the tour very much and will definitely recommend it to friends.

It was my first time seeing koalas up close! They were so cute, I couldn't take my eyes off them. It was also a wonderful experience to watch the penguins return from the sea to their nests for a long time. The penguins climbing out of the sea and waddling along were incredibly adorable! It's a shame I couldn't take photos, but that's natural for wild animals, so I made sure to observe with proper etiquette.

Penguin Parade was a magical experience that created so many great memories for us. Our tour guide, Fiona was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and kind. She makes the effort to connect personally with every participant at the start of the tour and during the tour she shared her knowledge on the conservation efforts in Australia. We don't have photos from Penguin Parade itself as photography was not allowed, but we've attached photos from the other stops on the way.
