I had the sheer pleasure of witnessing the Penguin Parade - and it was one of the most wonderful exhibits I have EVER seen. Watching the Penguins come out of the water in droves - and making their way to the overnight nesting area beneath us was beyond memorable. For anyone who has not done this, do it now. !!!

This was a great overall trip with tons of experiences from the get go. From Melbourne, the group makes its way to Brighton Beach and beyond for a day filled with firsts. The animal conservatory (stop 2) was a great opportunity to see native Australian animals, even though there was a ton of indigenous wildlife to be seen as well. After several pit stops and dinner, arriving for the penguin parade was a great way to cap the trip. Everyone took notice of the natural amazement that came with the penguins returning in flocks from a day of hunting, something I never thought I’d see. Orlando was a great host, very friendly and informative throughout the day. If I were to return to Melbourne and do the trip again, I would likely request to be in one of his tours. All in all, the experience is a must, even with an impressive list of competing attractions in the area.

Seeing the penguins were wonderful. However, it should be explained that the greatest number of penguins will be see walking up the hillside to there resting places and not coming out of the ocean.

A very nice tour. Gui was very attentive and gave a lot of information during the tour. He was happy to explain and translate things in portuguese throughout the tour. I recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore things around Melbourne.

We had a great time with the tour. Got to see wallabies and penguins along the Phillip Island road. Guided by Jack, a very friendly man. Has a great knowledge about the locations. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the seals on the rocks. But, still it was one great experience while we're in Melbourne. It's a very recomended tour :))

The tour itself was excellent. Our tour guide, Chris, was knowledgable and energetic. This review would have have been 5 star except for the fact that the bus ran out of gas and we landed up getting back to the hotel around 1:20 AM. Anyway heading to the Penguin Parade should ensure they bring a jacket to stay warm.
