Ocean energy - The views of the ocean from shores and cliffs are memories for ever. Considering the duration of the tour and the program focused on the wildlife sanctuary and penguins parade, I think the amount of time dedicated to these visits was adequate.

Fantastic day trip - Bluey was an exceptional and mindful guide. He paid attention to details like optimizing seating so that groups could sit together, making sure everyone was comfortable throughout the journey, and giving tips to make the most of the penguin parade. He's charming to boot! Would highly recommend.

Fantastic driver/guide - Despite being a cold and windy day, we had a fantastic day with Sherif. He was prompt in picking up, was extremely knowledgeable on the areas we visited (history, interesting little details, where to go for the best views, etc.), has a great sense of humor and was extremely considerate of the comfort and needs of all the passengers. When I am back in the area again and looking for another tour, I think I might call and ask specifically for what tours Sherif might be guiding. I especially liked the small group in the very clean and comfortable mini bus. With WiFi! And for a finale, at the end of the tour, Sherif gave us the history of the didgeridoo and a sample of the music! Great day, great driver/guide. I highly recommend the tour, the tour company and especially the guide, Sherif.

Excellent tour!!! - This tour was amazing!!! I’ll start off by praising our wonderful tour guide, Lucy. She was so friendly, helpful, informative, fun and enthusiastic. I’ve been on many tours in my life and she was seriously one of the best guides I’ve experienced. The visit to the Moonlit Sanctuary was awesome! Got to feed wallabies and kangaroos and even pet a koala (additional fee). Lovely little animal sanctuary with interesting native Australian animals. We made three stops at scenic locations (beaches) that were jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Then of course the penguin parade was so so special to see. Lucy told us the best place to stand to get up close (within a few feet) of the little penguins making their way to their burrows. I will say that the penguin parade is very crowded if it’s sold out, so just be aware. Please respect the penguins and don’t use your phone to take photos or videos. Overall a fantastic day! Would highly recommend this tour. Great value for your money too.

Excellent day out viewing Australia’s wildlife - This was a really enjoyable trip with our excellent guide Raquel. We had booked it primarily to see the Little Penguins at Phillip Island but the stop at Moonlit Sanctuary became the days highlight. Raquel was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic and really made it a great day out. All prior communication and pick up was superb and timely. A must do trip if you are staying in Melbourne.

Very professional - I recently took a tour with Bunip Group in Melbourne, and it was a fantastic experience. The tour was well-organized, and the guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the city. We got to explore all the key sights without feeling rushed, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. The transportation was comfortable, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to fully enjoy the day. I highly recommend Bunip Group for anyone looking for a well-planned and enjoyable tour in Melbourne. Their professionalism and excellent service made the trip unforgettable!
