Well worth it, an amazing experience. - Excellent day trip. Our tour guide, Perry, was passionate, knowledgeable, caring and attentive to all of his guests. He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our day and made beautiful memories to always cherish. His genuine passionate for his hometown was infectious and left us all feeling welcomed and keen to see more of beautiful Victoria. The mini bus was modern, comfortable and safe and the overall tour was an absolutely wonderful way to see a lot in one day. We highly recommend this company and this excursion. We will definitely seek this company out when visiting Melbourne again and hopefully we will enjoy Perry’s hospitality again sometime. A big shout out to the winery staff and penguin viewing team too, they were all wonderful and every bit as passionate and knowledgeable about their beautiful products, the animals, and the region. Great day, thanks again for a fantastic experience.

Great day! - Rod was an entertaining and informative guide and made the day special. Of course Phillip Island was the star, but was enhanced by our wonderful host and food at the Phillip Island winery. The small group made for good interactions amoungst us all.

Great Experience - Couldn’t be happier with this tour. Koalas, Little Penguins, wallabies and good wine, what more can you ask? Oh yes and a great guide named Rod.

The most amazing birthday present - Where to start! The trip to Philip Island was absolutely fantastic and surpassed my already high expectations. During the long drive to the island the coach was comfy and Thern (tour guide) kept us entertained with a range of interesting facts on Melbourne and answered any of our questions. On arrival we went to the Philip island winery and had a wine and cheese/ deli meats tasting experience. The wine was lovely and so was the charcuterie board that accompanied it, the man leading the tasting was knowledgeable and extremely warm and welcoming. We then moved onto the wildfire pizzas which came with the wine tasting and they were delicious, different types of pizza and a lot to go around! We then did a short drive to the Koala sanctuary and paid an extra 16 dollars to go round ( completely worth it). The reserve was surreal and we saw lots of koalas in their natural habitat- along with some wallabies! Next was a trip to the Nobbies, the views were incredibly and we were accompanied by alot of seagulls! The end of the evening was the main event, at Penguin paradise. I can honestly say it was one of the most amazing experience watching the penguins make the long waddle from the sea to there burrows on land, you also get so close to them too! The penguin paradise facility is fantastic and there is plenty to do whilst you wait for them to come onto the beach. Thern was a brilliant tour guide and the tour was easily a 5/5, i couldn’t recommend it enough to both locals and tourists.

Penguin Parade and Philips island - Our tour guide Perry was wonderful explaining the beautiful landmarks along the way. We were a little disappointed that the winery was closed on our day of travel and ended up at a restaurant instead for lunch and wine. Even our tour guide seemed somewhat confused on this as nothing was mentioned about the winery being closed when we booked. Our tour guide did everything in his power to make this tour memorable. Philips Island and the Penguin Parade were fabulous and we would highly recommend this tour.
