The five stars are for the driver (a former surfer who used to live on Phillip Island). She did an outstanding job managing a full van and creating an atmosphere that was informative and fun. The tour program leaves a lot to be desired. The "Moonlit sanctuary" is a glorified petting zoo with a few cages of unhappy-looking eagles, owls and dingoes, a few wallabies and kangaroos sauntering among dead branches surrounding a muddy lake. Access to most facilities was forbidden without a special pass. The stop is useless to anyone who has ever visited an Australian zoo or a real sanctuary a la Currumbin yet takes 1-2 hours. This means that you run out of time for gems like the Woolamai Beach (15 min stay, ridiculous). The penguins were great.

Gary, our driver and guide, was excellent. Took us to key highlights on Mornington Peninsula and gave detailed information. We also went on the round ferry trip from Sorrento and visited the craft beer venue T St Andrews Beach. Highly recommend Gary and this tour.

An incredible day. Highly recommend! The guide was incredible and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the freedom of roaming about. Really well structured tour, full of jam packed fun!

This was a great tour! Our guide was really nice and even offered to take photos of us at the train station. He also provided lots of information and kept the tour exciting and upbeat. The train ride, forest walk, and sanctuary were all great stops. This is a great tour for all ages. I would highly recommend it!!

Our tour guide Maigread was awesome. Maigread certainly knew the area well and was friendly and engaging with all of us.

Matt was amazing! This tour was wonderful. So many great things to see and Matt was so helpful! Plenty of time at the animal sanctuary and one way on the train was plenty!

Such a fun day! Matt was an amazing guide :) He was a wealth of knowledge and had a great sense of humour.

Matt was a gracious tour guide. Recommend the Sanctuary and wildlife tour. Especially the midday bird flight session.

Great local guide who was very knowledgable about the region and animals. She really made a difference with her passion and spirit -thanks again

Riding Puffing Billy was a unique experience. We had so much fun sitting on the sills. Healesville Sanctuary is an amazing place, we learned a lot from the keepers. Matt was a great guide. We really enjoyed the trip with him.

Matt was amazing! His knowledge of the area and his sense of humour is wicked! We all loved his stories and had lots of laughs. Each stop was well worth it! Thank Matt from Team WA!

Margaret’s knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience truly memorable. We enjoyed the steam train so much. Hi Margaret, Thank you for an incredible tour you provided. We hope to see you again in the future.

Maigread was amazing and so informative, a fantastic tour we would highly recommend The bay cruise was fantastic as was the lunch we were served. Brewery was also extraordinary

Very nice trip to the Mornington peninsula and Phillip bay. Our guide maigread and Elena were very nice and told us fun facts along the way about the places. Very well planned and organised. Highlight of the day was the cruise and Murray lookout. Very panoramic. Absolute spectacular views and nice drive. Would do again when in Melbourne.

Great tour guide (Margaret), lovely day out, loved the animal sanctuary and the penguin parade. Over all a very fun and informative day!
