Amazing trip and 100% worth paying the extra for the viewing platform at Phillip Island. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the surrounding habits of the animals.

Excellent, the driver was knowledgeable and apart from the main attraction they took us to a maaru park where my kid interacted with almost all the Australian aboriginal animals. feeding the kangaroos was great. As for the little penguin it's a wonderful sight and best viewed from the premium locations. So definitely upgrade to penguin plus its worth the extra bucks.

This was a lot of fun and I recommend it. The one thing they don't tell you is that the time for the tour is not the time for you to be picked up. You must be waiting an hour before the posted pick up time. Also, I felt rushed at the Maru Animal Park. An hour is not enough. Maybe start the tour earlier. The dinner afterwards was not necessary. We didn't need an extra hour given how late it was. We all could have/probably did eat at Phillips Island. But overall, I recommend it as you get to meet the kangaroos and koalas and then see the penguins all in one day without having to drive yourself. The driver was very knowledgeable and friendly.

I had been looking forward to seeing the little penguins on Phillip Island and they did not disappoint. Our drive there was relaxing and informative as a DVD was played explaining about the life of the these penguins. Our driver provided a good narration along the way. I thought that the Maru animal farm was a little disappointing as I had been to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Cape Woolamai was amazing and more time there would have been nice. Adequate time was allowed for the Penguin Parade. Everything was well organized and overall very enjoyable. Our driver Roger was excellent. I would definitely recommend this tour.
