Standout Experience

Although we have areas of natural beauty and important wildlife habitats in New Zealand, this penguin parade is the standout experience.

Phillip Island day trip

An awesome day trip from Melbourne with stops along the way as we headed to the coast (ie.. moonlit sanctuary). Great tour guide. We took our 2 children aged 6 and 10. They loved it. Are still talking about the trip a few weeks after. They loved seeing the little blue penguins and hearing their chick's call for them. Created some wonderful memories and bonus was I didn't have to drive. Other passengers on this tour were friendly and respectful too. Would highly recommend.

Bus kind of small

Wish there was a bit more space on the shuttle and not very social of a vibe
