Coisas para fazer em Penguin Parade

Even though I bought the cheapest tickets, I was incredibly lucky this time. We saw a group of little penguins (15 to 20 of them) come ashore and waddle along the beach back to their homes. Despite many people watching, I could clearly see them cleaning themselves and interacting with their companions. It was also quite novel to have seagulls fly so close to the audience. Combined with the sunset, it truly made me appreciate the beauty of nature. Since we visited at the end of June, the entire event started earlier, with entry around 4 PM. After watching their parade, it was about 7:30 PM, which left us time to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner. It was delicious, a perfect day.

Amazing experience. This is my 2nd time to book the Philip Island tour (first one was from another tour company) and this is way better than the 1st one I booked. The guide, John, was very engaging and entertaining. He told us interesting stories on the places we visited. Even told us a lot of fun facts of the animals native to Australia. Time for each location is just enough (not rushed). He is also very efficient, too. Took our orders in advance (optional) so we didn't have to wait long for our lunch. Also took our penguin parade tickets ahead so we were able to enter the venue while other tours are still outside on queue. I highly recommend this tour.

Our guide, Chris was wonderful. He was able to share many interesting anecdotes on the sites and animals and with a great sense of humour. Definitely enjoyed this trip a lot.

Great value for money! We went to 5 different locations because the weather was nice. First were the bathing boxes at Brighton Beach (wish we had more time to go around though), then the Puffing Billy which is a fun experience when traveling with kids. After lunch, we went to Maru Koala and Animal Park which was a big surprise because we enjoyed it a lot. Lastly, we went to The Nobbies and the Penguin Parade in Phillip Island. Our bus driver and tour guide, Curtis, was very good, helpful and accommodating. Overall, would recommend this tour here in Klook!

Nosso guia Rhys era alegre e divertido. Ele está sempre nos esperando pontualmente e sua introdução foi clara e informativa. A minivan era confortável e limpa, mas seria melhor se houvesse compartimento de bagagem superior para cada passageiro.

Nosso guia, William, tornou toda a experiência perfeita, desde a busca até o final. Ele forneceu um itinerário detalhado na noite anterior e nos manteve atualizados sobre tudo ao longo da viagem. O passeio foi uma excelente maneira de fazer muitas coisas em um único dia. Tentei procurar uma forma de conseguir os ingressos para o trem Puffing Billy, mas foi muito mais simples tê-los incluídos no passeio. Havia vários extras com desconto durante o passeio para a degustação de vinhos, o almoço (a carne estava saborosa e macia) e o Maru Koala, que achei serem ótimas ofertas. O veículo era uma van menor para 13 pessoas, o que também tornou o passeio mais personalizado. Além disso, o desfile dos pinguins acontece mais tarde à noite devido ao horário de verão, então foi muito conveniente ter a viagem de volta tranquila para Melbourne. No geral, me diverti muito.

Views are beautiful! We saw wild penguins and kangaroos. I had an amazing time on this tour, and our guide, Jared, was absolutely outstanding! He is remarkably professional and has an incredible depth of knowledge about Australian history. Throughout the trip, I asked him so many questions, and he answered every single one effortlessly—even backing up his explanations with fascinating data and facts. Jared was also incredibly polite and thoughtful. When it came to watching the penguins, he shared some fantastic tips and strategies that helped us get the best experience possible. Even though it was a long 14-hour day, it felt completely engaging and fulfilling from start to finish. I learned so much from Jared today. I highly recommend taking a tour with him!

We had a wonderful trip to Phillip Island guided by James. James slowed down the coach to help us spot the Aussie wildlife along the way. He told us a lot about their habits. After arriving at the visitor centre, he suggested the best route to spot the little penguins. The penguins were adorable. On the way back to Melbourne, James also gave us some recommendations of local coffee and snacks. We all had a great time.

​I can truly recommend this tour and would do it again in a heartbeat! We got to do and see even more than expected, and it never felt rushed at all! For example, we even did a lovely walk through the rainforest. ​Riding the historic Puffing Billy was truly special, and the little penguins are just super cute! A great tip for the penguin parade: it is well worth staying a bit longer. Many people leave after 10 minutes, but if you stay, the crowds thin out and you get a much better view. ​Our guide, Matty, was amazing—a true local full of insider knowledge who even shared a custom website with top Melbourne recommendations.
