Description

Australian wildlife eating from your hands and little penguins marching along the beach in numbers of up to one thousand! It’s a fun day out with a great guided service to keep you entertained throughout the experience. Wildlife encounters may vary on the day, however you have a good chance to see Wallabies, Penguins, Echinas, Reptiles and an array of bird life. If available, we have upgraded you to the Penguin Plus seating area (the closest viewing to the penguins). The islands historic farm will put on a show for you, featuring a sheep dog show and even a sheep shearing show, or you may prefer just to wonder through the flower gardens, historic homes or say g’day to the local farm animals. We keep this tour flexible and our guides are happy to cater to your interests.

Private Tour-It's Worth the Money!

We had a great time with Francois. He arrived on time and made sure our entire trip was well planned and executed. He was entertaining as well as informative. His tips at the Moonlight Sanctuary and Philip Island were very useful. We skipped all the hustle and bustle of a large group and a big bus full of people! It's worth booking a private tour with Australian Private Tours. Cameron runs the company well and takes good care of the customers and customizes the right itinerary. We highly recommend this trip!

Amazing and unbelievable day!

We had an unbelievable day well spent with our guide, Francois. He had several helpful ideas about our other trips and he was so knowledgeable about the places we visited. He took time to get to know my daughter and her boyfriend. And at the end of the night, he let us sleep all the way home since we had only gotten 3 hrs of sleep the night before and we had an early day ahead of us the following day. We all loved getting to know him. If you want an amazing day, request Francois for your trip!!

Easy, simple, and fun - the perfect trip trifecta!

I found Cam via the Google several years ago when I needed to arrange for a tour for relatives. As it was their first time in Melbourne, of course we did the penguins! It was great - Cam listened, suggested multiple options and executed a fun, easy trip. I've subsequently took several trips with Cam and several of his guides (Francois, Julie, etc) and each time, the trips have been drama free, stressless, and simple. Having been with multiple groups, they handle a van full of rambunctious kids as well as they do 4 adults doing a tasteful wine afternoon in the Yarra.
