It was an experience not to be missed. We got soaked by an extra high tide, but even this failed to dampen our spirits.

The penguin experience is not to be missed!!! Just wished we could have stayed longer. We also greatly enjoyed the opportunity to pet and feed kangaroos at the farm. Definitely worth the time and money!

This was my first trip to Australia, and I had only one free day while there. I have no doubt this was absolutely the best choice I could have made.

This was a fabulous day! Our tour guide was very personable, knowledgeable and made us laugh all day. The visit to the farm was great fun to be able to feed and pet kangaroos...what a neat experience! The koala sanctuary was fantastic. The koalas were so close and there were so many of them! I had never seen so many in 1 place. The town of Cowes was a neat holiday town on the water. It was a nice place to have dinner, but it was a quick stop. We got a few minutes to see Nobbies. WOW...amazing scenery!!!!! We also saw some of the "Little Penguins" peeking out of their burrows near the boardwalk at Nobbies. Then it was off to the main event, "The Penguin Parade"! I signed up for the Private Penguin Experience and was very pleased. We were given headsets to hear the guide and special seats to sit on the beach with - we had front row seats, which was great because there were TONS of people there. After a few penguins came out of the water we went with the guide to the other side of the beach where the Penguins Plus area is - there were lots of penguins - so adorable. The guide was very informative and she helped those of us there with touring buses get back in time. There were so many people it would be easy to lose track of time and get stuck in the crowd. It was a long day - but one I won't soon forget. My pictures from this trip are amazing and I would recommend!

Fantastic trip. This was a particular thing I was looking forward to on my trip and the penguins did not disappoint. it was well worth the upgrade to the viewing platform as the penguins walked up right beside the walkway we were on. The visit to the koalas and kangaroos were also very enjoyable.
