Passeios por Penguin Parade

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.

Thanks to our tour guide and driver, Stuart. He is really kind and helpful. He always reminds us of everything, even which toilet is cleaner. We have enough time to take photos and walk around each place. It is my first time to visit Australia with family. We are happy to have him as our guide. However, I have something to remind you all. It is highly recommended to have a great breakfast before you get on the tour bus. Your next meal would probably be around 5:30 PM.

Overall, the tour was good, although the itinerary felt a bit rushed. There were so many places to visit, but not enough time to fully enjoy each one. The highlights of our trip were definitely the rainforest tour and the Puffing Billy experience—they were absolutely superb! I’d also like to give special recognition to our tour guide, Mr. Joe Chan. He was incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating throughout the trip. He went above and beyond by helping us take photos and videos, making sure we captured wonderful memories together. We truly appreciated his thoughtfulness and exceptional service. Thank you, Mr. Joe Chan, for making our experience even more enjoyable. Kudos to you!

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!! 😄

Phillip Island is truly a mesmerizing place to visit. The tour guide was incredibly humorous, telling lots of jokes during the drive. He also shared interesting cultural and historical insights along the way.

Had a great day on this tour! Vance was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable on and shared lots of interesting info throughout the journey. We started at Brighton Beach for some cute instagrammable photos with the iconic rainbow bathing boxes, followed by the Puffing Billy train ride with its stunning scenic views. There was also enough time at the various stops and we even got to interact with some wild animals along the way. The Penguin Parade was a lovely way to end the day - real cute creatures! Highly recommend for first-time visitors to Melbourne! 😊

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!

This tour by Go West was a fabulous experience. Our tour guide, Mark, was very attentive and responsible, and he talked a lot about the history of Australia. The sanctuary was very cute, and even though it was raining, I had an enjoyable time. The penguin parade was definitely the highlight of the day—seeing penguins swim up from shore and going back into their burrows. Remember not to take photos, as your phone screen light might make them disoriented. Let’s do our part and be good humans.
