Phenomenal Penguin Parade - This was an unbelievable tour and experience with my tour guides Jools and Gumnut. She was brilliant, so kind and so positive! I had an amazing tour as a solo traveller but didn’t feel solo once. Made me feel very welcome! The sites we saw were amazing! Saw so many swamp wallabies, 3 echidnas, and of course the penguins. Truly once in a lifetime experiance! Thanks again to Jools !!

Great Day Out - Great day out to Phillip Island to see the penguins with Jools and Gumnut. Long day but well worth it. Jools went above and beyond and made the tour.

Phillip island tour was great - Tour was planned great. Compact half day trip where you get to see several places on Phillip Island in the afternoon before the amazing penguin parade. Jools and Gumnut were friendly and helpful providing good tips on each location in addition to all the other facts they provided. Overall, fun and memorable tour, thanks to the amazing guide.

Such a jolly time - Such a funny trip with a funny tour guide. Definitely recommended with Gumnut and Jools as a tour guide, even though Gumnut doesn't say much. Our guide seemed to enjoy the trip just like I did so there's that. Fortunately we didn't encounter any drop bears so we got back safe and sound.

See the Penguins with Bob - Bob proved to be the best tour from meeting us all at the pick up point. He was informative, unhurried throughout the tour. He made each of us feel special with individual time. He ensured that the Philip island penguin tour would be one to be remembered

The Penguin parade with Jools & Gumnut - The trip was absolutely amazing, had a great day. The penguins were very lively and there was lots of them. Jools & Gumnut did everything to make the day as enjoyable as possible I will definitely go on more tours with Jools again in the future. Thanks so much Jools

penguins express tour - This was a fantastic tour with funny guide Bob. Recommendation! The reason I am giving only 4/5 stars is the seating in the bus: much too narrow, can't sit straight.
