Dec 27 2023 I did the Phillip Island Penguin Plus tour (full day), with our guide/driver Sarah. We stopped at the Moonlit Sanctuary Conservation Park and then the Penguin Parade. An awesome day, with a terrific guide/driver. Thank you!

This was a fantastic tour. Our guide, Fred, was not only extremely knowledgeable, he was a hoot! He went out of his way to help us find wildlife including penguins in their nests. The penguin parade was fantastic! Do yourself a favor and buy the upgrade to plus or ranger. Much better views with less crowds. Keep in mind it is cold - very cold. Bring layers and wind protective clothing.

The Penguin Parade is the cutest thing. On the way down to Phillip's Island we stopped at Moonlit Sancturary where we saw Australian animals and fed Kangaroos and Wallabies as well as other lookout points. At the penguin parade we had reserved penguin plus tickets which meant we were in a less crowded area. The penguins are adorable as the waddle pass you from the ocean to their nests. Our driver/guide Trevor was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. At Phillip's Island he drove us around to see burrows/nests of the penguins. He was solicitous and very helpful to all.

Very good day, the trip was very good, the driver could have maybe listened to his customers a bit more, he didn’t even ask our names and was very full of his life and his own experiences

Ben was the best! He was super friendly, took the time to remember everyone’s names, and even drove us all back to our hotels at the end of the night. My partner and I couldn’t have asked for a better tour experience.

Had a great visit to the Moonlit Sanctuary and Phillip Island, Ross the guide was fantastic and it didn’t feel like a long drive at all. I recommend heading down to the viewing area for the penguins early as the seats fill up fast.
Terrific tour, would definitely recommend!

First the best part: the penguins were amazing, and made the entire trip worthwhile. The bottom line, though, is that we wish we'd driven down there on our own. The minibus was very uncomfortable, especially for my tall husband. We were in the back two seats, right over the rear wheels, and the roads are bumpy. Also, that row doesn't get any flow from the air conditioners, which are overhead and blowing forwards. So when the rest of the group was too cold, we were still too warm. Half the group was a family with three children who were (understandably) very bored by the long drive, especially because they'd already done another tour that morning. Our driver, Ross, did a commendable job in difficult circumstances of trying to look after them and minimize the impact on the rest of the group. I was very impressed by him throughout the tour.
