    This was a great tour. We visited an animal sanctuary where we fed wallabies and kangaroos, while seeing lots of other animals. We then went on to some amazing views points with great views across white sands, rock formations and lots of ocean with glances of wallabies by the side of the road from the bus After a dinner stop came the highlight- the penguin parade! I paid for Penguin Plus seats which were well worth the money. The penguins were so cute as they emerged from the surf, so many at a time, and proceeded to walk and fall over as they made there way to their nests. Be aware no photos are allowed and as it is in the evening it can be very cold so wrap up warm! Our tour guide was full of fun, interesting information with a fabulous way with animals. I would definitely recommend this trip.

    It was wonderful walking the boardwalk with birds flying around us and seeing the gulls nesting. Natural, rugged landscape but so relaxing enjoying the walk then the Antarctic experience after. Lots of reading in the exhibition then finished off sitting watching the big screens highlighting life at the Antarctic. We spent about 2 hours in total here.

    This was our first stop at Phillip Island on our full day tour.
    We started with breakfast at the coffee shop which was lovely. We took a Smashed Avocado Toast and Eggs Benedict, followed by hot drinks and brownies. All very tasty (though slightly steep pricewise.....).
    Then we went for a walk through the traditional old farm with lots of exhibits to see and lots of things to learn (for all ages, by the way).
    Animals, flowers, machinery, working farm artefacts, all well explained by posters and local guides.
    Very Pleasant Place!! Lovely Morning!!

    Loved this. Great signage and I finally centre and we saw a good number of koala and it was excellent value for money. The only thing we didn't like was that we could not use cash which seemed weird and there was no really obvious signage about this. The koalas all looked very healthy and we saw one up close.

    Got into PI Thursday evening for 3 full days of motor action. Grab a quick bite for breakfast and out to the track. Really friendly officials & volunteers as usual. Plus, improved food vendors & availability this year. The 50th anniversary for the L34 Torana's was a plus with a huge field on display with lots of other interesting vehicles & exhibits to enjoy. The 37C heat and wind on Sat & Sun was a challenge but more so for the competitors & pit crews & marshals! The best part is you can park anywhere around the track and enjoy the racing. Had over 50 enjoyable races and was good to see Aldo Di Paoli in his 69 Camaro get the better of Paul Stubber on several races. There is something for everyone to enjoy and we will be back.

    This place is great to see it’s a wild untamed seascape which is so powerful you can hear sometimes feel its strength when your up on the boardwalk

    Really wonderful welcome for a birthday booking for six, including my elderly and frail mum. Great assistance with menu, dietary needs and advice about selection. The winery has lots of options for couples, family and friends groups (and functions), with plenty of seating, open grassy areas and fab views of the fields and beautiful Bass coast. The service - considered and knowledgeable - and food are top class, with good choice of sharing and grazing platters, delicious mains, choice of pizzas and salads, and tasty desserts. This place is an absolute treat!

    the road leading to pyramid rock is surrounded by farmlands

    keep a lookout for wallabies. they are either on the farm or nearby shrubs.

    once there, you get onto a boardwalk to the viewing platforms for pyramid rock.

    best visited during low tide to see the pyramid in full glory

    Access to this Zoo was restricted because of the Covid lockdown but it has bounced back. The kangaroos are often lethargic in the middle of the day, when the temperature is hottest. The flightless emus are the second-largest birds in the world, they are inquisitive and may approach you, but they are harmless. In the unlikely event that they peck you, don't worry, their bite is painless..

    Large family friendly beach. Nice clean waters. Red rocks are awesome to explore. Lots of shops and restaurants on the other side of the road.

    As with mist info centres, there was a comprehensive range of booklets and pamphlets. The staff were most informative when posed with our questions.
