Seeing the penguins coming out of the ocean and walking up to their burrows was beautiful and worth the wait

Great experience! The bus driver/ tour guide Vickie was so knowledgeable about the places we went to and made the trip so much more enjoyable! All aspects of the trip were explained in detail and seeing the amazing wildlife including the koalas, wallabies and penguins was incredible. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Enjoyed seeing the beautiful scenery, koala sanctuary, the Nobbies and the penguins. There is enough time at each stop to see everything. The driver is the guide and he did a nice job explaining what we would be seeing.

This day trip was even better than I had hoped. Our guide, Craig (and stuffed platypus Barry, who made it really easy to identify the correct bus) was amazing. Craig was very responsive to the group, unfailingly pleasant and shared just the right amount of information about what we were going to see. I appreciated that we had time to wander on our own at each location. It was amazing seeing koalas up close at the Koala Reserve and Craig made sure we knew to look out for wallabies as well. The Nobbies was a beautiful spot and we spotted several young penguins in their burrows as well as enjoying the stunning views from the boardwalk. The highlight, of course, was the Penguin Parade, and the experience was even better than anticipated. Watching the penguins come out of the ocean was truly magical and observing them even closer from the boardwalks as they made their way up the “penguin highway” or lingered outside their burrows was incredible. I found the bus seats a little uncomfortable but this did not diminish the fantastic trip that this was.

The tour was perfect ! It suited us well, as we got into the city early morning and we could still take this tour in the afternoon. It covered all that we wanted to see. The tour guide was very informative, pleasant, bubbly and full of energy.

David, our guide, was very knowledgeable and handled the bus driving well. Driving completely around the supper location, pointing out places to eat. We were given plenty of time to see Koalas and supper, one hour each. A quick stop at the Nobbies so the David could get us back to the Penguin Parade. Allowing us time to get good seats. Side tip: sit along the outer edges of the seating area for best viewing. All seats are good but the penguins make their way up the sides.
The only criticism, is the bus air conditioning didn't work the best in the back of the bus. It made the 2 hours to the first stop uncomfortable, especially the sunny side of the bus.
