Tour espresso della parata dei pinguini di Phillip Island da Melbourne
Descrizione
In un solo giorno straordinario, vivi due delle principali attrazioni della fauna selvatica di Victoria: i Nobbies e Seal Rocks, con una delle più grandi colonie australiane di otarie orsine; e la Penguin Parade notturna, dove piccoli pinguini saltano fuori dall'acqua e attraversano la spiaggia fino alle loro tane. A Nobbies e Seal Rocks, la passerella in cima alla scogliera offre viste mozzafiato sulla selvaggia costa meridionale di Phillip Island, e ci sono altri punti panoramici tra i giardini naturali di uccelli marini che hanno spettacolari esposizioni di fiori in primavera. Quindi assisti alla più grande colonia di piccoli pinguini di Victoria nella Penguin Parade notturna. Quando cala il tramonto, centinaia di piccoli pinguini schizzano fuori dall'acqua sulla spiaggia, dirigendosi verso le loro tane. Si nutrono in mare e tornano nelle loro tane per accoppiarsi, prendersi cura dei piccoli e fare la muta.

James our guide was incredibly Witty knowledgeable and ace at his job The penguins were another story Too far away to make it worth it at the beach We did see them close up as we went back But I felt sorry for them They are used to soo many humans around I guess The price of the tour is not worth it If you have a car it brilliant but not at the tour price
Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear such wonderful comments about James and will certainly pass them on to him. The Penguin Parade is a natural wildlife experience, so viewing distances can vary depending on where the penguins come ashore. As you discovered, some of the best opportunities to see them up close are along the boardwalks as they make their way back to their burrows. Phillip Island Nature Parks carefully manages the experience to protect the penguins and their habitat while allowing visitors to observe this remarkable natural event. We appreciate your comments regarding value and thank you for travelling with Bunyip Tours.
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. It is possible to upgrade your viewing to Penguins Plus if you contact our office prior to your tour departure, but we regret that you chose not to do so after purchasing the standard tour which includes General Admission at the Penguin Parade. We also appreciate your comments regarding the vehicle, seating and onboard comfort. Our vehicles are purpose-selected for small-group touring and maintained to strict safety standards, however we recognise that comfort preferences vary. Your comments regarding the commentary have also been noted and will be shared with our team as we continually review the guest experience. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback.
