What travellers are saying
- Booly_xEllesmere port8 contributionsThis was such a great day! Our tour guide was amazing and gave us some interesting information regarding Australia and the wildlife, we got to feed kangaroos / wallabies, a beautiful sunset with a clifftop drive, seeing the penguins was amazing!! And also it was a clear night so the stars were incredible too seeing the haze of the Milky Way. Would definitely recommend this trip and tour company, a fantastic day - thanks so much 😊Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Teresa W2 contributionsThis was a highlight of our trip to Melbourne. Excellent and low-key commentary. Good explanations of wallabys and penguin behavior, etc. Zoo was a little sad but at least we got a quick overlook of animals in region. Should be warning to pack your own food - we did but some complained about limited options.Written 8 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Discover547325585931 contributionWe had a memorable day on The Great Ocean Road. Its a long day but so worth it. Our driver James was awesome. He had positive energy all day and a great taste in music!Written 5 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Darshan S5 contributionsFiona was amazing and was extremely hands on’!
Would massively recommend. She took care of our dietary requirements as well and gave amazing hacks on the best way to see the beautiful little penguins 👍🏼Written 19 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The driver Kamal was very kind and knowledgeable.Written 23 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Trandi TNew York City, NY13 contributionsA long bus ride from Melbourne along ocean road to the 12 Apostles, Bus is full of young and old folks from all over. The driver James was informative of each places. He got us to see koala on the tree and lots of kangaroos in the park. It was fun and adventurous long day.Written 22 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Valentin C1 contributionThe Phillip Island Tour, led by tour guide Fiona, was amazing. It starts off with a trip to the Koala Sanctuary and ends with the Penguin Parade. Throughout the trip, Fiona was full of cheer, knowledge, and helpful hints. Would definitely recommend the Penguin Plus ticket as you get much more up close and personal with the penguins!Written 18 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Emmi KlattMuelheim an der Ruhr, Germany10 contributionsThis trip is the best thing to see as much as you possibly can within the span of a single day. Views, animals, rainforest and all accompanied by little anecdotes by our lovely and very lively guide and driver Craig (and of course Berry). Also as a solo traveller this is a nice way to connect with people from all around the world :) If you have limited time and don‘t want to miss out on any important sight then this is the way to go!Written 5 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Megan L1 contributionThe trip was so much fun! Ethan (our guide) was super friendly and knowledgeable and even though I went alone I felt safe and surrounded by great people. This tour was one of the best things I did in Melbourne and I would definitely recommend it - saw Koalas, Penguins and Wallabies while exploring Melbourne’s beautiful surrounding areas.Written 24 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andy H4 contributionsGreat tour, a lot of travelling but several stops along the way. Puffing Billy was a great experience and an unexpected stop at a wildlife park allowed us to get up close to all the native Australian animals. We had an hour for dinner at Cowes followed by watching the sunset at Nobbies. Penguins were a little disappointing as only a handful could be seen but that’s nature I guess! Overall a great trip 👍Written 18 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Shaun JFort Collins, CO266 contributionsThe bad part first; the bathrooms need to be upgraded. They smelled awful!
Well laid out zoo with a lot to see. Elephant herd is quite impressive. Very convenient to the train.Written 10 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - S N3 contributionsThe tour was very good.
