Great tour. - This was a really good tour from Go West. It fitted into my constrained time envelope and I felt comfortable with small group of strangers thanks to a great guide called Bluey. A good driver, Bluey was very knowledgeable about Phillip Island and the penguins, giving us tips on how to get the best views of the parade; he looked out for our interests but above all his sense of fun helped the tour attendees coalesce as a group

Philips island tour was fun and we had an enhanced experience of tiny penguin life cycle and see them in natural habitat - The guide ( Israel) was fantastic. The tour was good ;Penguin parade was best part. But, full marks to Mr Israel , the guide for his jolly and friendly attitude.
