Worth to have a go - Very beautiful view around the winery, many cangaroos around. The penguins are so cute, and there are more than 1000 penguins coming home last night. The driver guide is very kind and professional, have been doing the tour for decades. Worth to have a go.

Great day out with streams train and penguins - We went on the Puffin Billy, Yara Valley wine and chocolate, and the penguin parade tour. We had a great day out and our tour guide William was very informative and made sure we were looked after. If I had one complaint for the day it was that our ride on Puffin Billy was too late at 4.30, as it didn't give us enough time on Phillip island. Make sure you choose a tour with an earlier train or book in summer when the penguins come in later.

Wonderful trip - The experience was amazing. Unfortunately for other guests who don't follow the rules, I was disgusted in the amount of ppl still taking photos and moving around when strickly asked to stay seated and No photos for the Protection of the penguins. Staff were amazing, educational, kind compassionate, absolutely amazing.

Fantastic for all the family. As I live on the Island I take all my visitors and still enjoy the sight of these wonderful penguins waddling up the beach to feed their young. We also really appreciate the recycling and conservation of this habitat.
