Enjoyable afternoon/evening visit to Phillip Island attractions - Decided to have a break from a road trip and let someone else to worry about arragements. I prefer smaller groups and Oceania Tours did not disappoint - Josh was great guide providing personal assistance to all and making sure that the various visits ran smoothly and the day felt unhurried and relaxed. Highly recommended.

So fun to see the waddling parade! - Travis is a cheerful, exuberant and professional encyclopedia of Australian wildlife. Mom and i thoroughly enjoyed our small (8 person) group tour to Phillip Island. Somehow all of us were from the northeast United States! Book at least the PLUS tickets for the best viewing of the adorable penguins. We had ample time to enjoy the delightful march.
