Was really good and informative Tour guide very funny made the tour so enjoyable Took us to park as well as penguins
Great full day experience from feeding the kangaroo and seeing many animals in their natural habitats. Seashore views were great and penguin parade was well worth it even though we were a bit off season. Good pace for the day and Walter our guide was awesome.
Great day, It was wonderful up grade to the Ranger Tour at Philip Island as be so close the Little Penguins. I have done a larger group tour in the past but much preferred being am a small group Tour. Walter, out driver gave lots of information along the way
Terrific day of koalas and the penguin parade. Nice tour of Phillips Island. The penguins emerging from the ocean at night and making their way to the burrows was enchanting. Seeing ignorant tourists shoving their camera phones in the penguins faces despite being repeatedly told not to by park rangers was disgusting.
Seeing the little penguins arrive on the beach was one of the best days of my entire life and I am over 70!!! The tour was before seeing the penguins was great. We stopped at a wildlife place on the way to Philip Island. Also a stop before the bridge for lunch The driver was very caring and good, explained things
The service was over rated. The around about tour to philips Island The bus was small n stuffy and very uncomfortable throughout the long journey. The driver speaking can't be clearly heard behind. The fish & chip we ate for lunch was very disappointing 😞 and very pricely rated. It is worse than singapore Fish & co. 😕 The penguin hardly be seen with paying such a price.
amazing trip and would recommend to anyone. Walter was amazing and knew so much about everything!! The penguins were incredible x thankyou for a once in a lifetime experience
This is our 2nd tour with Walter. We did a customised 3 day/2 night tour of Phillip Island and Mornington Peninsula. Walter is a fantastic and knowledgeable tour operator. Any request we had to customise our itinerary was no trouble for Walter and he also added in a few extra sightseeing places! He has a fantastic sense of humour and we had lots of fun. He showed us many places and told us things that we would never have known about if we had been travelling ourselves in our car. I would highly recommend Walter and his many different tours.

Long day and the kids were very tired at the end. They provide lots of sightseeing and the guide was terrific. I wish we had been forewarned about how cold and windy it was going to be so we would have brought jackets. The final piece of seeing the penguins was miserable because we were all so cold.
Hello Thanks for taking time to write a review. Glad you enjoyed your trip with Around And About. Sorry about or weather, we are know to have 4 season in a day. Phillip Island has more cold days than hot days, the wind is cold when it comes over the ocean. It is a long day for the children, however i am sure they will remeber the penguins Do you know that we have many more tour that you can choose from for your next getaway. Hope to see you aboard in the future. All the best from the Team at Around And About
It was a full day tour, back in town around 11pm - quite long but a lot of fun with Walter, our great tour guide :) The tour is a good combination of animal experience and nice landscapes, would recommend!
