My nephew and I had an amazing experience! The wildlife sanctuary was fun and seeing the animals up close was super exciting. Getting to see the penguins made this excursion very memorable. Lucy, our tour guide was absolutely fantastic. She has a wealth of knowledge about Australia and the wildlife that calls this their home.

What a great day! Interesting, beautiful, well-planned and organized, and ended with sweet adorable penguins! It's a long day but every element was fun, interesting and well thought-out, and our tour.leader (bus mom) Jacqui was outstanding. So happy we did this tour!

Loved our tour! Our tour kind was very kind and putting the time we should be back on the bus was very helpful for staying organized! Didn't realize that we could book different viewing platforms with this tour (others had purchased penguin plus or underground viewing) - if there was a way to highlight that would be perfect as we would have preferred to have purchased the penguin plus tickets. Would also have loved to get an extra half hour at Moonlit sanctuary, we were not able to see the whole zoo when we did the koala experience as that took up a decent chunk of the allocated time. For penguin experience recommend folks pack a jumper as the beach of the penguin parade can be windy!

Great tour. Tim was a wonderful tour guide. Every stop was great and the penguin parade was incredible. Wonderful way to see penguins, amazing Australian animals up close ( we were able to hand feed a wallaby) and beautiful sea coast scenery.

Enjoyed the itinerary and our tour guide Lucy! The penguin parade was wonderful. Lucy took us in and gave us detailed instructions on the best way to experience it. The tour operator probably could instruct in the description about the late hours and very cool and windy conditions. A parka or poncho is highly recommended. The bus is small and basic. Overall, we enjoyed the tour!

We loved this experience and would highly recommend to anyone who is considering it. Chris N was our guide and he provided lots of knowledge, information and entertainment from our pick up point all the way to being dropped off at the end. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Sanctuary, to various stop off points and of course to see the penguins! Money well spent and incredible memories from our trip to Melbourne.

We had such a wonderful experience with such a patient tour guide! I can’t recall his name but part way through our tire went out and he was so calm, cool and collected while changing it. Huge kudos to him. The Brighton boxes, zoo and penguins are such an experience to see. I’d recommend bringing extra layers for the evening as it does get cold!

A good way to see Little Penguins and a lot of other Australian wildlife, especially wallabies. The stops along the coast include beautiful beaches and ocean views. Our Go West guide, Jai, was terrific.
