Recommended plan for those looking to indulge in a day at Phillip Island - The guides were very kind and hospitable, so I was able to take a lot of photos of the natural animals, see the penguins going back to their nests and the wine tasting was really fun. I'm sure you'll be happy with this tour. The tour also includes essentials for enjoying Phillip Island and is highly recommended.

The penguin parade - A beautiful early spring tour to get up close with Phillip Islands famous inhabitants. The mini bus was comfortable and our guide Yuri was friendly and knowledgeable with a few dad jokes thrown in. Perfect length tour for an evening on the island.

Fabulous- A must see for Phillip Island - It was a very enjoyable experience. The whole tour was very convenient with a hotel pickup and drop. Our driver /tour guide - Ray was friendly, knowledgeable and fun! We took an optional add on of the Koala Reserve along with this trip and the whole experience was fantastic. We saw quite a few Koalas, although we did not catch any echidnas. The winery tour had a good grazing platter! The food was sumptuous too. One of us, had a gluten free vegetarian diet and we all had lunch to eat. We then went to the Penguin Parade, it was raining, extremely windy and cold so I would suggest dress warmly and carry or buy rain protection, and despite which we had a good sighting of the penguins ( thanks to the insider tips that Ray gave us). My recommendation would be to purchase the Penguin Plus viewing option instead of the general viewing. And don’t be those visitors who insist on flash photography of the Penguins despite being asked not to! Overall a must experience if you visit Phillip Island.

Terrific package of penguin and Phillips Island experiences - The penguins and views were the stars - truly outstanding! And the tour package was wonderful too ensuring we saw highlights of the town of Cowes, tasted great wine and got up close to the local wildlife too. Our guide, Mike, was fun, knowledgeable and patient - everything we needed plus a surprise glass of bubbles! Thanks.
