Small tour of 11. Bus driver/guide was great; humorous, informative. We stopped at a seaside town for dinner (not included in price of tour) - fun to stroll streets and go down to beach to watch birds (parrots). Stopover by sea to watch sea lions along rugged coast with crashing waves. Then off to highlight watching fairy penquins waddle up the beach to their night homes. We also saw enroute anteater and many wallabies. Magical 5 hours. Perfect time of day 5 pm - 11 pm. Returned home around midnight.

I don't usually write reviews, but this one was special. Our guide, Dandy, made the trip exceptional. ( I know several other people who did the same tour with different guides without the same results.) Dandy knew special places to see koalas and kangeroos. Plus his enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge made it seem like it wasn't just a job for him. Of the 3 tours I took, this was the only van that the AC and sound system worked.

Kevin was our tour guide for the Great Ocean Road and he was knowledgeable and provided running commentary including history , wildlife & random information that made the tour fun and interesting. From the chocolate factory to ablesea ward, Boobah Beach, Lorne , Queenscliff Coastal Reserve, tge St. George River Estiary, Kennett River where we saw Koala, cockatoos & rosellas. We stopped at George’s for fish n chips in Apollo Bay and went on to cape Otway & Maits Rest (a n old & interesting forest preserve made us feel like we were in Jurassic Park. We went on to Princetown Reserve to see Kangaroos, then to port Campbell national park for the 12 Apostles, island archway, Razorback & Loch Ard Lookout. We topped it off at an alpaca farm. Fantastic. Travis was our guide for Philip Island and the Penguin Parade Plus - we visited the Moonlit Sanctuary on the way and saw kangaroos, wallaby’s, kookaburras, Tasmanian devil, koalas & more - he was engaging, entertaining and knowledgeable as well it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend both tours. Our guides were great and whether you get Kevin or Travis - you will love the tours!!!

We did the tour to Moonlit Sanctuary and the Penguin Parade on Philip Island with Kevin one day. He seemed well informed and was able to answer our questions. Kevin made this trip very entertaining. We did the Great Ocean Road tour with Sam on another day. Our guide was able to show us many interesting features. Maybe time was an issue but we didn’t get to stop and see the “London Bridge” on the way home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour to Moonlight Sanctuary and Phillip Island Penguin Parade. Alex, our guide, was both entertaining and educational. His knowledge of history was exceptional and explained to us very well. We were well catered for in time at venues and for dinner. Alex drove the vehicle very well and at no time were we concerned for our safety. No hesitation in recommending this tour

Thankful for this tour as both would have been difficult to do on our own. Since this tour is broken up into two different days, you may end up with two different guides as we did. Both made our experience wonderful. However, Kevin goes out of his way to make sure everyone has a good experience. He does these trips daily and yet it seem like he’s enjoying himself as well. Beautiful scenery and the highlight is the penguins. Definitely do the penguins plus! Both trips do not disappoint!

We just completed a superb and memorable combo trip organized by Toby & Eli from Oceania Yours. They are very knowledgeable and answered all our queries. Both are very patient and kind to our welfare. Highly recommend to engage both their services again. Once again, thanks very much for organizing a truly authentic and experiential combo trip for us. It is indeed memorable.☺️👌
