I had a really great time during this tour ! The highlight was seeing the penguins at Philip Island and feeding the kangaroos and wallabies at Moonlit Sanctuary.

Great places to visit, nice stops. The tour was amazing and the guide was very informative and interesting. The penguins parade is one of those things you don’t do everyday and I really recommend it. The down side was the short time available to enjoy the stops: after the zoo everything was in a rush. The stop in front of the isle was so short that I could barely get a picture and come back to the bus (driver said he would leave us there if couldn’t get back in time) and the same happened at the penguin parade: as soon as the penguin get into the shore there is no time to enjoy watching them walking into the grass because it’s already time to leave (running back or risking to be left there). Just 10/15 minutes more would change a lot in terms of enjoyment, hope that helps. For everything else the tour was very good.

yed the tour especially our encounter with Koala name” Gum Nut” at The zoo and when we saw mini penguins came out of the water and did a little Parade into their homes on land. Our Guide Bluey was very funny and helpful through the whole trip.
