Coisas para fazer em Penguin Parade

Embora eu tenha comprado o bilhete mais barato, tive muita sorte desta vez, pois vimos um grupo de pinguins (15 a 20) a desembarcar e a regressar às suas casas ao longo da costa. Apesar de haver muitas pessoas a observar, consegui vê-los claramente a limparem-se e a interagirem com os seus companheiros. Além disso, gaivotas voaram perto da plateia, o que foi muito interessante. Com o pôr do sol, senti verdadeiramente a beleza da natureza. Como fomos no final de junho, toda a atividade começou mais cedo, por volta das 16h, e o desfile terminou por volta das 19h30. Ainda pudemos ir a um restaurante próximo para jantar. Estava delicioso, um dia perfeito.

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.

O nosso guia, Chris, foi maravilhoso. Ele conseguiu partilhar muitas anedotas interessantes sobre os locais e os animais, e com um grande sentido de humor. Definitivamente, gostei muito desta viagem.

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 sempre nos esperava na hora certa e sua introdução foi clara e informativa. A minivan era confortável e limpa, mas seria melhor se houvesse um compartimento superior para cada passageiro.

Our guide, William, made the whole experience seamless from pick up to finish. He gave a detailed itinerary the night before and updated us on everything throughout the trip. The tour was a great way to do many things in a day. I tried looking for a way to get the Puffing Billy train tickets but it was way simpler to have it part of the tour. There were various discounted extras during the tour for the wine tasting, lunch(the beef was tasty and tender), and Maru Koala which I thought were good deals. The vehicle was a smaller 13person bus/van so it was a more personalized tour as well. The penguin parade is also later at night due to daylight savings, so it was very convenient to have the leisurely ride back to Melbourne. Overall had a great time.

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!

Tivemos uma viagem maravilhosa à Ilha Phillip, guiados pelo James. O James diminuiu a velocidade do autocarro para nos ajudar a avistar a vida selvagem australiana ao longo do caminho. Ele contou-nos muito sobre os seus hábitos. Depois de chegarmos ao centro de visitantes, ele sugeriu o melhor percurso para avistar os pequenos pinguins. Os pinguins eram adoráveis. No caminho de volta para Melbourne, o James também nos deu algumas recomendações de cafés e lanches locais. Todos nos divertimos muito.

​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.
