Passeios por Nobbies Centre

Our tour guide, Curtis, was very enthusiastic. At first, it felt like he talked a lot, but he also gave us time to rest later on. The entire itinerary had ample time, and we never felt rushed, though some guests might have been a little late. The steam train experience was excellent; I was surprised we rode it for almost 45 minutes. I personally think most souvenirs aren't necessary to buy; it's better to save time for photos and enjoying the scenery. When we went to see the penguins, I was surprised that the guide noticed I was wearing a short skirt and asked if I was cold, even thoughtfully giving me a hand warmer. I'm not someone who gets cold easily, so I immediately gave the hand warmer to my friend who does. I highly recommend everyone buy the deluxe seats because when you see them come ashore and then go back, you are almost within two hand-lengths of them – it's incredibly worthwhile. Even more surprising was the sky full of stars; the scenery combined with the penguins was truly a 100-point experience. Many thanks to the tour for this experience.

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!! 😄

This was a tremendous experience! Our guide Ben is super nice and knowledgeable. He provided us with interesting information about Melbourne and the animals (especially the Little Penguins). He also managed the time very well so that we could have sufficient time to enjoy the views and watch animals, and also to have dinner, etc. I will highly recommend this tour and thank you, Ben, for providing a wonderful experience!

Although the tour guide will not accompany you throughout the entire trip and the price is not cheap, there will be a simple introduction during the drive, and the attractions visited are all very beautiful. It also saves you the trouble of arranging your own transportation. If you are traveling with a small group and are not self-driving, this tour is still highly recommended. Finally, I suggest not staying too long on the beach for the penguin parade at Phillip Island! Returning to the boardwalk area earlier will allow you to see the little penguins returning home from a closer distance. You can also look around the boardwalk area before it gets dark, and you might actually spot a lone penguin!

This tour is excellent and the tour guides are very professional.

Fabulous trip with a lot of nature's views and the exciting highlight of the day - the penguin parade. They are so tiny but really cute, and we liked that we were so lucky to watch them in their natural environment. We recommend buying food for dinner as takeaway at the scenic stop on Cowes beach, as the crowd at the visitor center (at the penguin parade area) is enormous, and you won't get your food on time. The kitchen is closed after the parade, of course. We had a great stop at the small zoo with quokkas, koalas, and kangaroos. Our guide was very attentive, and we highly recommend him - Mr. Curtis. Thanks for the amazing day! The adventure is kid-friendly as long as your kids can stay on the bus for a long time, but there are enough stops along the way.

Phillip Island was a must-visit! We saw many cute penguins and it was really convenient to follow a tour instead of going by ourselves.

The trip is by Wine Hop & Coastal Tours. Our guide's name was Philip (Phil) and he managed the trip exceptionally well. He shared a lot of information through the microphone in our tour van and was incredibly cheerful throughout the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Brighton Beach, Moonlit Sanctuary, Phillip Island, and the Penguin Parade. 🫶🏻 Despite intermittent rain, my friends and I had a wonderful time. Please ensure you arrive at the pick-up spot on time for a smooth journey 👍🏻
