    Kevin was a wonderful tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and kind! I had a great day on the tour. It was nice to be able to have the small group option and not have to deal with a large group. The animal sanctuary was fun but the penguins were the highlight of the day for sure. Definitely worth doing! Also penguin plus was worth it to be so up close to the penguins.

    Really enjoyable and informative tour. James was both entertaining and knowledgeable. Ample time was given at each stop (though we could easily have stayed longer). The penguin parade was the highlight. Well worth doing. And our late-night dropoff within one block of our lodgings was a very welcome extra.

    This was a great day trip to see some wildlife and the Penguin Parade. The tour guides (Clo and Rhys) were a lot of fun and very informative. Definitely recommend this tour.

    We enjoyed everything about our day as was provided by the tour company and our driver, Ilkay! As others have mentioned, the only thing that detracted from the special, extraordinary experience, was other people not following rules, standing in front of others, pushing for seating, and taking photos of the penguins when repeatedly scolded. Sad that we are there to help the endangered wildlife and some people are more concerned with their instagram. Otherwise- certainly worth the extra $$ for the penguin Plus seats; others in our tour said they couldn’t see nearly as much in general seating. Highly recommend this tour from Melbourne!

    Excellent Tours, Phillips Island Penguin Parade, and koala sightings were amazing! The only downside was ignorant tourists flashing their photos at the penguins after being repeatedly told no photos because it scares and blinds the small birds at night.

    This was a really fun trip! Our guide and driver Red made sure everyone had a good time on our adventure. He kept us entertained on the bus and well informed at each of the stops. It’s amazing to see the penguins swimming ashore, but the most enjoyable part is to see them wandering through the dunes searching and finding their families and returning to their burrows.

    We went with our kids and they both loved it. Captain was very skillful and brought us very close to the seal rock where we saw hundreds of seals in their natural habitat doing what they were best at: surfing, sunbathing, socializing and diving. The staff on the boat was friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. We would definitely do it again in the future. Even if you are not a huge fan of the seals, the ride out from Cowes to the seal rock is worth the price itself!

    Great views of the little penguins. Our tourguide was very caring and explained a lot about the animals. Even though P. I. was very touristic and I worried a little about the penguins being distracted, as so many people took photos after dark although it was strictly prohibited. French Island was pure nature. We saw many koalas in their natural environment and had nice lunch on a farm. HIghly recommended tour!

    We had an amazing day. The driver suggested things to do after the tour and even shared hidden secrets the guidebooks wouldn't tell you. I can't wait to return and explore more. Highly recommended.

    I don't usually write reviews, but this one was special. Our guide, Dandy, made the trip exceptional. ( I know several other people who did the same tour with different guides without the same results.) Dandy knew special places to see koalas and kangeroos. Plus his enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge made it seem like it wasn't just a job for him.
    Of the 3 tours I took, this was the only van that the AC and sound system worked.
