This is the highlight of our trip. We have never seen a wild penguin up close and personal. And it is not just a couple of them it was hundreds of them going around. Definitely will come again when we visit Melbourne.

Wow! I had such a wonderful day. The driver Becky was great fun and told us a lot of things along the way. I saw lots of different animals- all so beautiful. And I saw a Koala called Sophie and that was an experience I'd dreamed of. I felt so emotional . And then we saw the penguins and it's the most amazing sight I've ever seen. You aren't allowed photos or video, as it can affect the eyesight of the penguins- yet still people tried to flout the rules - and got told about it. Don't be one of those. They're selfish and not caring about the little penguins. The company give you a QR code to download some photos. Fantastic day out. Wish I could do it all over again .

We really enjoyed this tour. The stop at the beach was really nice and the beach boxes were so cool to see. The interaction at Moonlit Sanctuary was nice although apparently the animals sleep a lot. I loved the Koala experience. The Koala was awake and munching on some Eucalyptus. Phillips Island was amazing from the spectacular views to the wild animals everywhere. Wallabies were all over the island. Finally we saw the Penguin parade that was so cool. Seeing the little critters cross the beach and then up near the burrows. For us it was a once in a lifetime experience.

The penguins were so worth it! A bit too much time at the sanctuary but all went well. Van was at capacity, so someone was always late. Loved the beach boxes too. I am glad I did it, just a long day.
