Here’s the very best of Victoria’s wildlife experiences. The Penguin Parade is an absolute ‘must’ on every visitor’s itinerary, but this tour gives you so much more. First stop is Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park, where you can get up close to wallabies on the wallaby walk (you may see little joeys peeking out of their mothers’ pouches). Enjoy a ranger providing unique insights and information during the daily koala presentation. Then we travel on to the spectacular Cape Woolamai Surf Beach. Located on the southern coast of Phillip Island, this beach is exposed to the ocean swells and the surf here is truly impressive. It's also not uncommon to see dolphins or seals swimming in the waters just off the beach. We also visit the Nobbies and Australia’s largest Fur Seal colony at Seal Rocks. Finally, the ultimate attraction: hundreds of Little Penguins emerging from the ocean and waddling across the beach to their sand dune burrows.

Our guide and driver Bluey was great. Great wealth of information and commentary along the way. Great suggestions and recommendations on where to sit and how to see the penguins. Bluey's sense of humor was fantastic as well. A joy and pleasure to be on his tour.

The trip was great, really well planned and Jamies A was a brilliant tour guide. He was warm, great fun and made me feel really comfortable as a female solo traveller not from Australia. Highly recommend.

Excellent tour. Many beautiful sights, amazing animal encounters. Fun, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Bluey gave a lot of great information and best advice on how to get the most out of the penguin parade experience. It was unforgettable! Highly recommended.

Such a great experience with our tour guide Matt! Super knowledgeable and very friendly. Don’t forget your binoculars and a blanket, heavy coat!

Small group tours is the way to go for Phillip Island! And Go West tours with Benjamin as driver/guide was awesome. Great informative commentary on the drive which was well broken up with stops and many photo opportunities. We did all stops advertised with some extras added in- thanks Ben. We were able to hand feed wallabies-even a momma with a Joey in pouch, saw many more while driving & saw penguins in burrows & nest boxes at 2 different sites. Note: you will have multiple meal purchase stops- but we took snacks and water so were able to spend maximum time with animal & bird experiences & just had one meal at the Cowes(town) meal stop before heading to the Penguin Parade viewing. Benjamin took the time to explain best penguin viewing options at our stop to overlook the seating and once there we spent all our time either in seating or on the boardwalks & saw so many penguins. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!! Benjamin made sure we had the time to really see & feel the wonder of it all-loved that we were the last vehicle leaving the parking lot. Highly recommend & excellent value for money.

Great experience. Anyone visiting Australia must take this tour. Tour guide/driver was fantastic like cherry on top of cake. Wish all other drivers/tour guides were with same caliber.

All sites were especially beautiful or interesting. The Penguin parade did not meet to my expectation.

Had a great day with Michael as our guide. He was enthusiastic and kept the day running smoothly. Penguins were so cute!! Allow yourself time to wander along the boardwalk after the penguins start to come up. Only negative was that we were in the last seats on the bus and the seats in front of us were permanently reclined so we had no room for our knees.
