We had a great time on our Phillip island trip. It was truly amazing seeing 1000+ penguins emerge from the ocean and come onto land. Also our tour guide (Fred G.) was awesome and I wish we would have had time to do more tours with him.
Only negative is that you aren’t to take pictures. I wish they would have something at least where an approved person took pictures to have more mementos of the trip.

We didn’t see seal rock and evidently the seals don’t go there anymore. The penguins were great. The tour guide made the day about him. I think he shares close to 8 stories about other tote participants and how they all loved him. His name was Fred and I wish it was more about our tour and less about him and his book

Fred was a truly charismatic tour guide! He did a brilliant job of showcasing Melbourne and Australia’s history, and the importance Aussies place on protecting their indigenous species! Of which, we were privllaged to listen to Fred to talk about and showcase the koalas, kangaroos, penguins, etc. on the tour!
He ensured everyone on the tour bus was involved and that everyone had a great time! Highly recommend this tour! 🙂

Although it rained throughout the experience it was still worthwhile.

This is the best tour ever! The penguins were so cute! Hundreds of them were running across the beach (20-30 of them at once)… The cutest scene I’ve ever seen in nature.
Also I was able to see wild wallabies on the way to penguins place. They were also cute!
One sad thing was just some ignorant people kept taken photos and videos, even after rangers said “no photo nor video” countless times. I also said “no photo” several times to those people and the reaction I got was “non your business”. I hope rangers or tour guides kick those people out.
By the way, the tour guide SEAN was a great guide! I was the only solo in the group, but thanks to him, I did not feel isolated at all, and had very good conversation.
Anyway, if you like nature, animals, I highly recommend this tour. It’s once in a life time experience!

Seeing the cute little blue penguins march in at night and head to their nesting sites/homes was really amazing. Kevin did a great job leading our group and making sure we arrived promptly in order to see the koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, etc. in the animal reserve before we headed to Phillip Island. Don’t miss this event—be sure you get the Penguin Plus or Ranger Led experience—rather than general viewing.

Amazing day, the time flew by .
Our guide was so good, Kevin could not have been more informative or accommodating.
If you do nothing else in Melbourne you must go and see the penguins, it is an incredible experience.

Our guide Sam was funny, super knowledgeable and knew how to keep the whole group on track time wise so we could spend a good amount of time at each of the locations. I felt the trip was really well organised and 100% good value for money. I’d definitely do this trip again and any others run by the same tour group!
The penguins are absolutely adorable and it was such an amazing experience. Penguin plus is definitely the way to go.
Thanks again Sam!
