We really enjoyed this tour. The stop at the beach was really nice and the beach boxes were so cool to see. The interaction at Moonlit Sanctuary was nice although apparently the animals sleep a lot. I loved the Koala experience. The Koala was awake and munching on some Eucalyptus.
Phillips Island was amazing from the spectacular views to the wild animals everywhere. Wallabies were all over the island. Finally we saw the Penguin parade that was so cool. Seeing the little critters cross the beach and then up near the burrows. For us it was a once in a lifetime experience.

The penguins were so worth it! A bit too much time at the sanctuary but all went well. Van was at capacity, so someone was always late. Loved the beach boxes too. I am glad I did it, just a long day.

Absolutely loved this trip as a first time solo traveller.
The whole day went by super smoothly and the activities were great as well as the time we got to spend at every location. We did/saw more than I expected too. The highlights were of course the penguins and the amazing animals (and interactions with them) at the sanctuary but what made it even better was that our tour guide knew so much about all the places we went to!
Jools really did go above and beyond, making not only the excursions fun but also the bus rides to the destinations. She is an absolute gem of a tour guide.
All by all this was one of my favourite trips / sightseeing things I did in and around Melbourne. Definitely would recommend!

We enjoyed the tour especially our encounter with Koala name” Gum Nut” at The zoo and when we saw mini penguins came out of the water and did a little Parade into their homes on land. Our Guide Bluey was very funny and helpful through the whole trip.

Shane the tour guide was great, good amount of humour as well as being informative.
I feel we didn’t have enough time at Nobbies Rock, that part of the day seemed kind of rushed but understand that Shane had a timetable to keep to.
You can’t rush nature and so you couldn’t rush the penguins but didn’t see as many of them as I would have liked.
Was great to get out of the noisy city for a day and see other sights along the way to Philips Island.
