Penguin Parade - The tour was Great, our bus driver, Steve did a fantastic time making sure we had a good tour and I would HIGHLY recommend him and his company. My only issue came with the Penguin walk where we were told at least a hundred times NO PHOTOS OR VIDEOS during the time the penguins started the parade but as soon as the penguins came out of the water up went the cameras with flashing going off scaring the penguins and ruining my experience. Since I followed the rules, I have no digital memories but feel good about my character. I still loved it and highly recommend it

Penguins made the day - It was a great experience and especially with the penguin experience which is rare to see as penguins return from their daily ocean trip back home. The penguin center has got it right for sure and our guide was super helpful on planning when to reach the center and how to see the penguins. Couple of things I would add for the tour is that for lunch we took time to find a restaurant and if the tour company knows the lunch stop it would be good to pre reserve seats in a restaurant or two before the trip starts (it’s done by other companies so not tough and saves time) and secondly in the sanctuary stop we couldn’t feed koalas because it was sold out, the value of the trip would increase significantly if one could pre book that add on. Thanks to the host would driving and guiding us through the day!

The trip was great - The trip was great, the visits we made were very entertaining and beautiful. Ending the tour with a visit to see the penguins was magical. We would have liked to have spent a little more time at Woolamai Beach because we were in a hurry to get from one point to another. The rest was very good, the tour operator was very friendly and close to the people.

The stop for dinner isnt... - The stop for dinner isnt very long and felt a bit rushed but otherwise a great trip. Ron was a laugh and had great knowledge of the area. At the nobbies it's just a drive around which we would have been good to know as we would have liked to get out and take photos of the stunning scenery. Otherwise a lovely tour!

Not as described. Not anything like it - Do not book with them. Disorganized no coordination among staff. Everyone of them had a different reason for why the excursion was such a mess. No open air 4 wheel vehicle available for the excursion as booked. Piled into a broken down old bus with broken AC. The guide never showed up. A freelance park ranger was pressed into service to drive. We drove up and down the same gravel roads and when she spotted something it was pointed out. I asked the original driver from town to the island ferry why the trip was so disorganized and nothing like advertised. He said he would call his manager. Never would explain what happened and I tried calling the main office and nobody would pick up the phone. Avoid this racket of underperforming idiots.

Too much of a hurry - This would have been a wonderful tour if the driver/guide wasn't in such a hurry to keep on schedule. It all started out when a couple were 5-10 minutes late and from there on it just went downhill. Everything we did was predicated on the time, not what we saw. I hate being rushed.
