it was well organised.. by minibus.. seats are not so spacious but we make do. They are on time.. they let us have our own free and easy meals in between train and penguin, on the way to penguin, upon rraching, we get to sightsee at philip island for a while. Beautiful sceneries. Lovely guide

This tour is like a condensed version of an experience you can't get anywhere else, such as riding on Puffing Billy, a model of Thomas the Tank Engine, with your feet sticking out of the window, and observing the movements of little penguins in their natural habitat. It's very convenient because the events are connected by buses with English guides. We are an elderly couple in our 60s, but we recommend this tour to people of all ages.

It was a very fun and cute trip! I don't think it would be possible to do both of these things on my own, so I'm very happy that I was able to go to Phillip Island in one day!

We departed on the bus assigned to us at 12:30. The guide was cheerful and fun. We arrived at the station at 13:30 and departed at 14:20. It was a great experience to enjoy the magnificent nature while feeling the pleasant breeze. I especially recommend the seats on the right side at the back because they look beautiful. We took a 30-minute break at Emerald Lake around 15:15. There were places to eat, but they were crowded so it was difficult to eat. After that, we drove along the country roads while watching the horses and sheep. Around 17:30, we had 75 minutes of free time near the sea in Cowes. I recommend ISOLA GELATO, which is popular with locals and there was a line. There were also rabbits on the grass near the beach. We arrived at Nobby's Centre at 19:00. We were very excited to see big birds and kangaroos on the way. We walked around the observation deck next to the centre for 30 minutes. The evening sky was beautiful and there were penguins in their burrows. After that, we moved to the Penguin Parade venue and had free time. There was also a food area. If you look closely at the burrows beside the promenade, you can see penguins. At around 20:20, we spotted a group of penguins coming out of the sea. It's a shame that taking photos is prohibited after the sun has set, but we were able to see the penguins walking closer than we expected! The seats are full, so if you want to sit down and watch, you should head to the beach early. We departed at 21:20 and arrived around 23:00. It was a wonderful tour that allowed us to experience something out of the ordinary!

Meet around 12:00 Puffing Billy around 14:30 Dinner break around 17:30-18:30 Nose View Observatory Drive (wild animals) around 20:00-21:30 Penguin Parade around 23:00 Disbandment It was a very fulfilling day with various plans. The bus guide who tried hard to find wild animals was very service-minded. The meeting time seems to change depending on the time the penguin parade starts (when the penguins come onto land), so be sure to check the confirmation email from the tour company. It's very cold, so we recommend that you dress warmly.

It's great, except for the Chinese tourists who are always late and affect the itinerary.

Thanks driver, He is very nice

非常推薦此次一日遊，導遊非常專業熱心，但因為全英文，所以至少要有一點會話基礎再購買會更好。

After we signed up for the group, we were assigned to a small bus group with an English-speaking tour guide and driver. The people were very nice and they would clearly explain the precautions before going to the scenic spots. Those who want to go, please note: 1. If you take the steam train from Belgrave Station to Lakeside Station , please choose to sit on the right side, you can see the train crossing the winding bridge. 2. Penguins are not allowed to take pictures when they go home. Don’t sit on the beach for too long, it is very dark and you can’t see clearly. Go directly to the boardwalk to see the penguins that have landed and are walking home. It’s super You can see it very clearly near the restroom on the boardwalk. Our tour guide called it the Penguin Highway, and the penguins are super cute.

The arrangement of the trip is great!
