Lucruri de făcut în 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.

O experiență uimitoare. Este a doua oară când rezerv turul Philip Island (prima dată a fost cu o altă companie de turism) și acesta este mult mai bun decât primul pe care l-am rezervat. Ghidul, John, a fost foarte antrenant și amuzant. Ne-a povestit întâmplări interesante despre locurile pe care le-am vizitat. Ne-a spus chiar și multe curiozități despre animalele native din Australia. Timpul alocat fiecărei locații a fost suficient (nu ne-am grăbit). De asemenea, a fost foarte eficient. Ne-a preluat comenzile în avans (opțional), astfel încât nu a trebuit să așteptăm mult pentru prânz. De asemenea, ne-a luat biletele pentru parada pinguinilor în avans, astfel încât am putut intra în locație în timp ce alte tururi erau încă afară, la coadă. Recomand cu căldură acest tur.

Ghidul nostru, Chris, a fost minunat. A reușit să împărtășească multe anecdote interesante despre locuri și animale, cu un simț al umorului deosebit. Cu siguranță m-am bucurat mult de această excursie.

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!

Ghidul nostru, Rhys, a fost vesel și amuzant. Ne aștepta mereu la timp, iar introducerea sa a fost clară și informativă. Minivanul a fost confortabil și curat, dar ar fi mai bine dacă ar exista un spațiu de depozitare deasupra capului pentru fiecare pasager.

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!

Am avut o excursie minunată pe Insula Phillip, ghidați de James. James a încetinit autocarul pentru a ne ajuta să observăm fauna sălbatică australiană pe parcurs. Ne-a povestit multe despre obiceiurile lor. După ce am ajuns la centrul de vizitatori, ne-a sugerat cel mai bun traseu pentru a vedea pinguinii mici. Pinguinii erau adorabili. Pe drumul de întoarcere spre Melbourne, James ne-a oferit și câteva recomandări de cafea și gustări locale. Cu toții ne-am simțit minunat.

​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.
