Everyone needs to do this. Don’t miss it.
Deborah_C, 13-12-2022
This was without a doubt our favorite event in our three week stay. I recommend this for everyone including locals to do at least once. This is the best and most exciting thing we of all our events.
Worth the day trip!!
Trenton_D, 17-07-2022
My husband and I had an amazing time on this day trip to Phillip Island to see the penguins! We went in July when there isn't as many penguins but we still got such a sight!! Also saw koalas being really active prior to the penguins. Great day and worth the bus ride, our tour guide was amazing.
Our favorite day trip
Jennifer_B, 18-02-2020
There were 7 in our group and we all loved it! John Paul our tour guide was excellent and the chocolate factory is a must especially if you have children. The penguin experience is incredible! All of a sudden, hundreds of penguins show up on the beach and march to their homes. It's an hour of being in awe. It is cold so bring warm clothes.
Small group trip to Philip Island ??
Brian_S, 24-11-2022
Whilst the trip was overall good and the places visited as described, the use of small group is not what was expected. We were on a bus of 39 people. This is not a small group. Whilst this assessment of numbers is in the terms and conditions most people would not be aware of numbers. Please change the title to make it clear.
Penguin Plus Viewing
Frances_C, 13-11-2022
I gave it a 3 because it says small group but we had 39 people on the bus…that’s not small to me! However, I really enjoyed the koalas and, of course, the penguins. We were the only 4 people on our bus that did the penguin plus viewing and I think it was worth the extra money because there was a small amount of people in that area and it was close to the penguins coming out of the water and passing our area!!
