An unforgettable experience
It was an amazing day trip with our tour guide Chris H. Such a welcoming guy making the whole tour super interesting, relaxed and funny at the same time. Thank you for having us. It was definitely one of my highlights seeing the penguins landing on Phillip Island, petting koalas and so much more. Unforgettable!

Good tour
Communication with the company was great all the way through. Our tour guide was excellent very caring really looked out for his customers. Could have skipped stopping at the nobbies and spent more time at the other locations. Everything a bit rushed but a good day nonetheless.
