Great tour - Highly recommend!!! - So though the tour was booked thru Bunip Tours - however; the bus that arrived as a Go West Tour (not that we complained). Micheal was our guide and he was really good and so friendly. My 8 year old had an awesome time with him. Had enough time at all the stops. He even helped us to sit in the best spots to see the penguins.

One of a kind experience - Raquel was a great guide and was patient with us. We enjoyed the music she played on the bus and her sense of humor as well as her knowledge of the area. Never thought I’d be this close to penguins in my life!

Great Time Seeing Penguins - Had an excellent time. Saw so many adorable penguins and other cool wildlife. Raquel was an amazing and fun guide. This tour was much better and more convenient than driving out there from Melbourne ourselves.

Fantastic day out with penguins - This was a great day out, with lots of stupid during the day at Brighton Beach Huts, a wildlife sanctuary (what you can pay a koala at extra cost), a surf beach, a coastal board walk and if course the amazing Penguin experience. See load of penguins and walked back up to the main visitor center with penguins walking about 1 metre away from me. Chris, our driver and tour guide, was amazing.

Worst experience and fraudulent tour company!!!! Shame on TripAdvisor and Viator!!! - We arrived at the designated pick-up point at 2:10pm and waited till 3:20pm but no one showed up. It was even raining!! We tried to call the tour company and no one picked up. It is so terrible as we came to Melbourne to see penguin and spent lots of money and time for it! Now it is all ruined!!!
