Bookme ReviewPhillip Island Penguin Tour - from MelbournePosted by cassa1 from Belgium on 26 Apr 2025

  • cassa1 said... Unfortunately I booked my tour two days before daylight savings (April 4th) and due to the company's poor planning, running the tour on the summer schedule so late in the season, that day turned into a very stressful experience. We departed Melbourne at 2.30pm (half an hour late) on a Friday afternoon when sunset was at 6.30pm and Phillip Island is already 2h30 away. Of course, we got stuck in traffic, lost nearly an hour, so the guide/driver was quite stressed out cause we were running late on the schedule and he rushed us through every activity. We barely had 30 minutes at the koala park, we only had 10minutes at the Nobbies rock area, he was always pressurizing us to be fast and be on time. It was very stressful and it spoiled the experience, we were rushing and not able to enjoy anything, constantly looking at the time. The guide was very knowledgeable and a great guide but the company's poor planning ruined our day. All of this could have been avoided if only we had left 2 hours earlier, if the company had run the tour on its winter schedule. We were very disappointed with the circumstances, they definitely need to reconsider their timing.

    Get up close and personal with a host of Aussie wildlife, see the fantastic coastline of Phillip Island and then witness one of Australia’s most spectacular wildlife experiences as hundreds of the world’s tinniest penguins waddle ashore!
