Great experience! We...

Great experience! We stopped by Moonlit sanctuary and our tour guide Daniel was friendly and professional Pro tip - if you stop by Moonlit as well check last minute koala encounter ticket, it is not included in the general admission but I was super lucky to get to hang with Koalas

Wonderful Day with Shin

We had a wonderful day on the Puffing Billy and Phillip Island Penguin Parade tour. Shin was an excellent guide—professional, attentive, and very patient. He always made sure every guest was safely back on the bus before leaving each stop. He also gave us great advice on the best places for photos and the best viewing spots, and was always happy to help take pictures for everyone. His friendly attitude made the whole trip enjoyable. The only suggestion I have is that it would be even better if the optional stop at Maru Wildlife Park could be replaced with a visit to the Brighton Beach Boxes.

Daniel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had an amazing trip and Daniel went above and beyond for the group. The journey and ticket buying was seamless. The energy he brought was great and the tidbits of history/trivia during the ride were all interesting. He was also very helpful with and gave good tips and insider knowledge in taking good pictures at Penguin Parade.

Great family day out

It was a long day but each stop was full of fun...would be 5 stars but only a few penguins (not really something they can plan) Beach, small zoo, train and penguins... all in 11hours. Daniel, our driver and guide, was well spoken in English and chinese. He was able to direct us for the best views on the train and where to see the most penguins. Even when some kids were noisy, he calmy carried on. He drove safely the whole day.

Full in the big van that...

Full in the big van that is understanding but our guide only provide basic information even sometimes not clearly about the time appointment. the most thing I would really wanna comment is he has less willing to help and service mind at all. We forgot some need stuff in the car, instead of helping he complaint about that and have no direction of management many things such as accompany that have variety of nationality
