The best! - The best way to learn a lot about Phillip Island, the 'mini'-penguins and a lot of animals of that region of Australia. Travis is the best guide you can have for that: his enthusiasm, care for nature and for the people he is showing around made this the most valuable experience for us. On the road we also got Australia-music overviews. Simply the best!

Great time on the Phillip Island Penguin and wildlife tour. - We had a great experience for the Phillip Island tour with Earl and Travis. The additional information they provided throughout the day was very enjoyable and they went out of their way to get us as close as possible to all the wildlife we encountered today. Both Earl and Travis were friendly and engaged with the group. I would highly recommend this tour. I also recommend splurging for the Penguin Plus option as you get much closer to the penguins when they arrive on the beach.

Magical experience from Marlborough to the penguin parade. Parade itself was amazing - Travis helped us to be comfortable in chilly weather, showed a passion for the wild animals, and coached us all on how to maximize our experience and enjoy the parade of penguins
