Phillip Island Penguins & Wildlife dagtour vanuit Melbourne
Beschrijving
Hier is het allerbeste van Victoria's natuurervaringen. De Penguin Parade is een absolute 'must' op de reisroute van elke bezoeker, maar deze tour geeft je zoveel meer. De eerste stop is Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, waar je wallaby's van dichtbij kunt zien tijdens de wallaby-wandeling (je kunt kleine joeys uit de buidel van hun moeder zien gluren). Geniet van een ranger die unieke inzichten en informatie geeft tijdens de dagelijkse koalapresentatie. Daarna reizen we door naar het spectaculaire Cape Woolamai Surf Beach. Dit strand, gelegen aan de zuidkust van Phillip Island, wordt blootgesteld aan de deining van de oceaan en de branding hier is echt indrukwekkend. Het is ook niet ongewoon om dolfijnen of zeehonden te zien zwemmen in de wateren vlak bij het strand. We bezoeken ook de Nobbies en de grootste pelsrobbenkolonie van Australië bij Seal Rocks. Eindelijk, de ultieme attractie: honderden kleine pinguïns komen uit de oceaan en waggelen over het strand naar hun zandduinholen.

We were comfortable and entertained the entire time. Rhys was a great guide. I highly recommend this tour!
A nice day seeing the sights at Brighton Beach, the Moonlit Sanctuary, and Phillip Island. The sanctuary was my favorite, getting to see the animals close up. Not too many penguins, so that was a little disappointing, but you can’t control Mother Nature. Our guide was terrific!
Tremendous experience, a complete tour with a lot of connection to the animals, nature, and the beauty of Australia.
It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I had the opportunity to see Australia’s unique wildlife and visit some truly breathtaking scenic locations. The Penguin Parade was an unforgettable highlight, and the entire experience was made even more enjoyable thanks to our tour guide, Tim. His insightful commentary and interesting information about the places we visited added great value to the tour and made it both engaging and memorable.
Woody, our tour operator, was a dynamo: a skilled driver, knowledgeable guide, and clear communicator for a group representing visitors from Asia, Europe, and North America. He clearly loves Melbourne, Phillip Island, Victoria, and Australia, and has a real passion for conservation, especially the native animals and the penguins of Phillip Island. The wildlife sanctuary was such a hands-on treat. You walk freely among a few dozen kangaroos and wallabies (some areas are off limits so they can rest and get away from us pesky humans), and you can buy food to feed them straight from your palm, which was an amazing experience. I expected to view wildlife from a distance, not interact with it this closely. We upgraded to the on-site koala experience (it was off-season, so they had room), and got to take pictures with and pet the back of “Cyclops,” a female koala. The seven-minute session moved fast: the staff are pros at snapping a ton of photos in both portrait and landscape, and even managed to sneak in a short video. Note: Victoria state law doesn’t allow picking up or holding a koala, so if that’s on your list, you’ll need to do it in another Australian state. It’s hard to put into words what it’s like watching the penguins come ashore. As we settled into our seats, they were already arriving in waves, and it’s startling how close you are to them. The board at the entrance reported 860 penguins the previous night, and there were at least that many the night we visited. They keep coming in waves, and just when you think it’s over, another group arrives. We upgraded to the Penguins Plus tour, which gave us a smaller platform with fewer seats on the right-hand side of the bay, closer to where the penguins come ashore. The platform was lower to the ground, and there wasn’t a bad seat in the house; we had a clear view of the water and the shoreline. The boardwalk ramp up to the Penguins Plus seating area is barely three feet off the ground and well lit. After the waves of penguins came in, we watched them cuddle together and waddle into their little burrows.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. Reading your experience brought a smile to our faces, especially your description of the Penguin Parade. You're right — it's one of those experiences that's difficult to put into words until you've seen it for yourself. Watching the little penguins emerge from the ocean and make their way home never fails to leave an impression. We're also so pleased to hear that Woody helped make the day special. His enthusiasm for Victoria, its wildlife and the places we visit is completely genuine, and it's wonderful to hear that came through during your tour. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to him. It sounds like you made the most of the day, from meeting some of Australia's unique wildlife up close to enjoying the Penguins Plus experience in the evening. We loved reading about your encounter with Cyclops too! Thank you again for choosing us and for sharing your experience in such a thoughtful way. Reviews like yours are a pleasure to read, and we're delighted that Phillip Island became such a memorable part of your Australian adventure.
The bus ride takes you on a scenic tour of Melbourne’s southern suburbs and deposits you on boardwalks for grand walk-abouts of Phillip Island. The Brighton Beach Bathing Boxes are a cool sight to behold. It’s nice knowing they’re being preserved as part of Australia’s cultural heritage. Viewing the small penguin parade is for sure a major highlight of one’s visit to Phillip Island. Our Go West driver/guide Tom is well-versed on the more distant and contemporary history of Melbourne / Phillip Island. Tom is a knowledgeable, friendly chap who made for a wonderful tour host. Try to pick a warmer, sunnier day, if you can. Overcast skies and southerly winds can make for a cold, uncomfortable evening on the island if you’re unprepared for such weather conditions. All in all, well-worth the time and money!
Thanks very much for your review! We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your Phillip Island experience and that Tom helped make the day both enjoyable and informative. It's wonderful to know that his knowledge of Melbourne and Phillip Island, along with his friendly approach, added to your experience throughout the journey. It sounds like you were able to enjoy many of Phillip Island's highlights, from the iconic Brighton Beach Boxes to the spectacular Penguin Parade. We're glad these experiences helped make the day a memorable one. Phillip Island certainly likes to remind visitors that it's a coastal destination, and your advice about dressing for the conditions is a great tip for future travellers! We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Tom, who will be delighted to hear your feedback. Thank you again for travelling with us and for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you back on another Victorian adventure in the future.
Look, the tour guide Riquell was amazing, friendly, passionate and engaging no problems at all with her. However, this tour is marketed as a Phillip island tour and we barely spent much time at all there. Just a quick look at the Nobbies then watched the penguins from so far away you can barely see them. Except on the penguin highway or whatever. But you don’t even have much time there to look at them. Plus, earlier in the day we wasted probably 3 hours looking at the beach huts, and a disappointing Australian animal zoo. Why did these places have to be included, if you’re interested you can just go there on your own. Overall, pretty disappointing tour for the price, so I would just recommend this company to prioritise Phillip Island over other things if the tour is marketed as a Phillip island tour.
Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear that Racquel made such a positive impression—she'll be pleased to hear your kind words. Our Phillip Island tour is designed to showcase a variety of the region's highlights, including Brighton Beach, Moonlit Sanctuary, The Nobbies and, of course, the world-famous Penguin Parade. While the penguins are the finale of the day, our guests also enjoy the opportunity to experience native wildlife and some of Victoria's most iconic coastal scenery along the way. We're sorry the itinerary wasn't the right fit for your expectations, but we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
Our guide/driver David N is great. The trip is also well planned
It brings to your knowledge some of natures wonderful moments.witnessing the merging of the tiny Penguins out of the wave ,and their funny marching up the hill.
A fantastic and highly informative day. Mark was excellent as our guide giving s comprehensive and detailed over of the history of Australia plus was equally informative about the wildlife viewed along the way.
