Phillip Island Penguin Parade Express Tour ab Melbourne
Beschreibung
Erleben Sie an nur einem außergewöhnlichen Tag zwei der besten Tierattraktionen Victorias : die Nobbies and Seal Rocks mit einer der größten Kolonien von Pelzrobben Australiens und die nächtliche Pinguinparade, bei der kleine Pinguine aus dem Wasser springen und über den Strand zu ihren Bauten watscheln. Bei den Nobbies and Seal Rocks eröffnet die Promenade auf der Klippe einen atemberaubenden Blick auf Phillip Island wilde Südküste und es gibt weitere Aussichtspunkte zwischen natürlichen Meeresvogelgärten, die im Frühling spektakuläre Blütenschauen bieten. Dann beobachte Victorias größte Kolonie kleiner Pinguine in der nächtlichen Pinguinparade. Als die Dämmerung hereinbricht, spritzen Hunderte kleiner Pinguine aus dem Wasser auf den Strand und machen sich auf den Weg zu ihren Bauten. Sie ernähren sich auf See und kehren zu ihren Bauten zurück, um sich zu paaren, ihre Jungen zu versorgen und zu mulchen.

Reiseverlauf
Blick auf die zerklüftete Südküste von Phillip Island und Heimat der größten Pelzrobbenkolonie Australiens.
Weltberühmte Pinguin-Parade. Genießen Sie das brandneue Besucherzentrum und lernen Sie das tägliche Leben der kleinen Pinguine kennen. Machen Sie einen Spaziergang entlang der Wege und Promenaden und versuchen Sie, einen Pinguin zu entdecken, der möglicherweise von den Tagen des Fischens zurückgeblieben ist und sich in seinen Bau gekuschelt hat. Beobachten Sie bei Einbruch der Dunkelheit, wie Pinguinbänder an Land kommen und den Summerland Beach hinauf watscheln.

It was an excellent tour with GoWest. Ben the guide was excellent and very considerate. Will use the same tour company again the next time I'm in Melbourne. Great experience.
Full-day excursion to Phillip Island with a penguin parade after sunset. I booked the tour through GetYourGuide. The guide came to pick us up outside our hotel around 10:50 AM (we had to bring something for lunch). The guide was knowledgeable and very helpful with questions and requests. The stops: - Brighton Beach, which reminded us of Muizenberg Beach (South Africa). - Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, where we saw koalas (sleeping or eating eucalyptus leaves), wallabies, and kangaroos that we fed with food prepared by those who manage the park and take care of the animals. Feeding the wallabies was particularly exciting because they hold your hand tightly to their mouth, enough to feel the warmth of their body. Beautiful! - Nobbies Boardwalk. Nice view. We were hoping to spot some penguins already, but then we realized that their small size makes spotting them almost impossible! - Penguin Parade. They make you sit in the stands and tell you that you cannot take photos because the light disturbs the penguins. Honestly, I think that if that is the reason, it would be enough to ban the use of flashes! All right, let's believe it (Quote “ensuuuuuuuumaaaa”)! The show begins when you see the first groups arrive! Leo and I were impressed by their extremely small size. The funny thing is then seeing them walk around the walkways in search of their nest. They were very funny and we were like children following them! Long trip but really very interesting, I recommend it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Grazie mille for taking the time to share your experience! It sounds like you made the most of every stop along the way, from feeding the wallabies at Moonlit Sanctuary to watching the little penguins make their way home at sunset. We especially loved reading how much you enjoyed seeing the penguins up close from the boardwalk afterwards—it's always such a magical part of the evening. We're also delighted to hear your guide helped make the day enjoyable by sharing their knowledge and taking the time to answer your questions throughout the tour. Thank you again for choosing Bunyip Tours. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure the next time you're visiting Victoria!
Pros: nice guide Cons: tickets do not include Premium viewing - I would go with a different company that does and we would have loved that option!! VERY VERY UNHAPPY - were asked to sit at the feet of other people, not on a proper bench; The transport is in need of updating: burnt our feet from heating underneath our seats and then was blasting out cold air from above to help with the VERY foggy windows (so you will be cold, but your shoes would feel that you’re standing on a radiator); seatbelts gave me and another passenger a hard time Small seats and very small space between rows of seats (tall people do not fit) Commentary could include more information - for at least 4hr journey in total, it was not enough
Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed your guide. We're sorry that aspects of the experience didn't meet your expectations.

Loved this tour. Easy pick up. Easy drop off. Informative. Our Guide Woody clearly loved his job and had lots of local knowledge.
Bob was the best tour guide we could have wished for! He shared so much interesting information about Melbourne and the surrounding area, all while keeping us entertained with a few great jokes along the way. Of course, he also knew a lot about the penguins and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The tour itself was fantastic and very well organized. Seeing the adorable little penguins on Phillip Island was truly unforgettable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the cutest penguins ever!

Nice trip, Bob is a great guide.
Awesome experience and tour guide Alisha was awesome, pointed out all the wildlife! Penguins were amazing and so many wallabies!
Interesting experience and guide was knowledgeable!
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the experience interesting and enjoyed your guide’s knowledge throughout the day. Penguin numbers can vary significantly from night to night, as they are wild animals returning naturally from the ocean. Many guests do enjoy the - somewhat expensive - upgraded viewing options for a closer and more premium experience. We also appreciate your comments regarding seating comfort and note that if any guest experiences any issues during their tour, we encourage them to have a chat with their tour guide, who is always prepared to provide assistance. Thanks again for travelling with us!
