Very good tour. Phillip Island is beautiful. I recommend taking a private tour as it’s catered to you. Particularly enjoyed getting out bush and looking for kangaroos and wallabies in the wild.

Henry gave us a great tour of Phillip Island, aided by some beautiful weather (thanks melbourne). He was a very knowledgeable guide and just a great guy to have to spend the tour with. We had a close family friend who warned us from doing a trip down to Phillip Island. They hated it. But the more I read up on the island, the more I realised that most other people that had visited the island, overwhelmingly had a positive experience. But now I understand why my friend hated it. They took a bus tour and when we compared notes on our tour, they described the places they stopped. Well they only visited 3 stops. We visited about 10 different locations and half of them were definitely not on the tourist map as we were the only ones there. But to be honest, these were my favourite stops. They were well away from the tourist buses and in fact probably not accessible to the buses as we went down some narrow roads. But the wildlife there was out of this world. So look, if you are going to to Phillip island at all, find out where you will be taken. How much value for money are you getting. Are the tickets included. Is there an advantage to taking a private tour. How well does your group mix with other people you have never met. Do you want to go and your own pace or happy to go at the pace set by the rest of the group. Do you want to be picked up from your hotel doorstep or are you happy to jump on a tram to meet the bus tour. Obviously these are not questions my friends asked before she booked her tour. So really, do your research people or you will just end up on a tour that isn’t right for you. There are lots of options so nobody out there should be licking the wrong tour for them.unless you are a lazy click and book person like my friend!

What a day, and so much more than just a winery tour. Fred picked us up from our hotel and the tour began the moment we hopped in the car. We heard tales of Melbourne history and the stories behind some of Melbourne’s monuments. Fred was kind, patient and the fact that he enjoys his job really shines through in your experience. We ended up going well over the designated time because we were having that much fun! Would highly recommend booking a tour with Fred on the first day of your trip. All the places he recommended we check out were great and the wineries were made so much better by his entertaining commentary and expert facilitating at each of the venues.

Here’s the very best of Victoria’s wildlife, nature and farming heritage. 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) and a koala (additional expense applies). On tiny Churchill Island there’s an 1850’s heritage farm with strutting peacocks, shaggy Highland cattle, traditional draft horses, sheep shearing and working dogs in action. Then on to 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.

Inclusions: Lunch, Friendly & informative tour guide, Pickup from selected hotels, Air-conditioned vehicle, Entry to Moonlit Sanctuary, Churchill Island & Penguin Parade, WiFi on board

Exclusions: Meals other than as stated, Gratuities
