Fun filled & Action packed day on Puffing Billy and Phillip Island Visit - The Puffing Billy Trip was beautiful and the views were exhilarating ! The drive through Emerald and sights around the Lake were breathtaking and so refreshing ! So also the stop at Maru National Wildlife Park, the drive to the Nobbies & walk around, and the Penguin Parade - all showed us a side of Melbourne that we would never have imagined. An action- packed day out on the whole, well worth the cost of the Tour !! Our Tour Guide - Michael, was very informative, knowledgeable, entertaining and patient - making the trip twice as more enjoyable and memorable !!

Recommended! 👍 - Michael was our guide for the day. He had a clear understanding of the places on our list and helped us whenever we have any questions. We recommend this tour to anyone who’s looking for a fun experience - dangling your feet while on board the puffing billy + getting up close to see fairy/little penguins waddling home at Philip island. Thank you for such a great experience Michael!

John Lee was great! - Our Tour Guide John Lee was very informative and he tried to let us cover as much stuff as possible while giving us sufficient time at each place. We wanted to take a photo with the Koala bear at Maru Zoo and he helped to inform the staff to prioritise for us so that the tour could still leave on time. Really glad we had him!
