About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- I7715LXjulieg0 contributionsLunch not what we expectedStops at the viewing points and the stroll through pretty Sorrento was lovely and St Andrews Beach Brewery is wonderful. However we had picked this tour over the many others on offer to the peninsula because lunch was described as "During the two-hour sailing journey, you’ll enjoy a lunch of local produce" and "Lovers of food and wine will enjoy this relaxing lunch made up of a shared grazing table of the regions best produce". This turned out to be kiosk vouchers on a car ferry. NOT what we were expecting for our day out.Written 3 October 2024
- 642ivyt0 contributionsTrain experience was great. The rest are so soHealesville sanctuary was so so, could have been kept out of the itinerary. The stop at the little cafe before Puffing Billy was also a bit unnecessary, food there was also overpriced. The train ride was the highlight, we had a great experience and Lockey was kind enough to take photos. Tour guide was full of great energy throughout the trip. Would want to just get the train ride instead of the whole day tour ideally.Written 30 September 2024
- spicky010 contributionsPuffer BillabyGina from Explore Australia was excellent, very informative about country & first nation people. Hanging feet out of windows on puffer billy was unique, depending on which side of the carriages you sit on depends on the view. Sanctuary was a Sanctuary, bird show was impressive.Written 28 September 2024

The tour guide was not only very responsible but also had a great sense of humor. He carefully arranged every detail of the itinerary, ensuring that we felt comfortable and satisfied at every stage of the journey. His humorous and engaging commentary added a lot of fun to the experience, leaving us with unforgettable memories. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour.Written 26 September 2024
- J2331NJkarlag0 contributionsMoonlit sanctuary and Philip islandWe had such an amazing time with explore Australia. Our tour guide lachie made the experience so much better by being so kind and funny! This trip gives you a bit of everything. I would definitely go again and recommend to everyone.Written 20 September 2024
- H1786BCtoml0 contributionsAmazing day outThe perfect tour for anyone wanting to see some native wildlife and get out of the city into some natural spaces. The tour was timed well, didn’t feel rushed at any point and we weren’t waiting around either. Nik our guide was fantastic, friendly and very informative. You’ll see some great wildlife at Moonlit sanctuary with up close encounters with wallabies and kangaroos as well as the option to go spend some time with Koala’s. And the Penguin parade experience is truly special. This tour is great because it also shows you some of the natural wonder around Forest Cave beach at Cape Woolamai and the Nobbies centre, as well as the charming town of Cowes. Thoroughly enjoyed our day and would urge anyone travelling to Melbourne to take a day to do this tour!Written 20 September 2024
- jerneja980 contributionsGreat way to explore outside of MelbourneI had an amazing time on this tour. Everything went as planned (we even saw more things). The tour guide- Locky, was great, he talked about everything we were seeing and was very helpful. Even tho there were two groups for two tours, everything went very smoothly. The tour itself is planned amazingly. I loved getting to see the Aussie wild life and also seeing the being nature.Written 17 September 2024
- WestD1230 contributionsFantastic tour with an excellent tour guideWhen I arrived at the stop Margaret was waiting and was welcoming and helpful whilst we waited for the other bus to arrive. Gina arrived promptly and greeted me with a welcoming smile. She was informative, enthusiastic, caring, patient and passionate. Throughout the day she went out of our way to make us all have an amazing experience. She gave her too tips, took pictures and videos and made sure everyone was safe. Chatting to her throughout the day made the journey go by so fast .When I asked her how long she had been doing the job I was shocked to hear she was relatively new as her passion and information sharing was amazing.Written 16 September 2024

I booked this tour a couple of weeks before our trip to Melbourne. It seemed like a great variety. That's exactly what we experienced and more! Matt, our guide, was informative and super fun. He did all the legwork, taking us to visit all the sites from farm to wildlife and then from lunch on a boat ride to wine tasting. It was a full day of getting to experience things we couldn't have on our own. It would've taken us forever to research it, at least! Some sites were special boutique places, which were a real treat. We were lucky to have gotten in as we were the only ones to sign up for that particular day. Instead of cancelling, which other tour companies might have done, Matt cheerfully came out and have us a private full day's tour. We're so grateful for the memorable experience. We highly recommend Matt and Viator!
