Reviews: Melbourne Puffing Billy Steam Train + Phillip Island Penguin Island Day Trip
Guest User2026-02-27
This itinerary was really great for us traveling with kids. The penguin watching was in the evening, so we left the hotel around noon, which suited our child's schedule. Our first stop was the Puffing Billy Railway, a popular station with great photo opportunities. It was sunny at first, but halfway through the journey, a sudden downpour started. So we skipped the zoo and went straight to Phillip Island. We saw kangaroos along the way, and Cape Nobis was beautiful. Our guide, Xiao Li, was also fantastic. We did see the baby penguins in the evening, but my older son got impatient in the end. We took many close-up photos though. Highly recommended!

This trip was brilliant and such a good combination of things to do in one trip. A great atmosphere with the group and the tour guide Lisa was amazing and so informative. She made me feel so comfortable with doing it as a solo trip and got to know everyone as best she could in the time. The sanctuary and penguin parade were a great experience and I would recommend to anyone. The view points were breathtaking and you got to see animals in their wild habitats. 10/10 experience.

At first, I was a little worried because the tour was in Chinese, but our guide, Carter, kindly explained things in English, so I was able to complete the tour without any problems. Please note that you'll need to bring cash for zoo admission. Also, for the Puffing Billy train, sit on the left side of the train for a better view.
Reviews: Phillip Island Penguin Parade Day Trip with Koalas from Melbourne
Guest User2024-06-27
Excellent guide (Fiona) with an obvious passion for the environment and the conservation work underway on Phillip Island. The tour includes a lunch stop in Cowes, followed by a stop at a Koala conservation forest with an opportunity to view the Koalas in their natural environment, then sight seeing along the southern peninsula of Phillip Island where the wallabies and geese inhabit the area by day, and ends with the penguin parade which is really quite magical! An action packed day that is so worth the $. If visiting during the winter months, do dress in layers and bring a beanie/toque/winter hat along with a pair of gloves. You’ll need them!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Tour with the Best Guide! Chris H picked us up from the Great Southern Hotel and gave us an unforgettable experience from the colorful Brighton Beach, the wildlife at Moonlit Sanctuary, stunning views at The Nobbies, and the magical Penguin Parade. Chris is truly the best, kind, professional, and very caring. Thank you for the amazing memories! Until we meet again — love from the Philippines 🇵🇭❤️

It was value for money. It was more than a 12-hour trip. went to money places in addition to what was described in my itinerary (probably because my group had too few people and hence we combined with the group that did the steam train). The driver cum guide was very experienced and would tell us where to spot penguins during the parade and we were always the first group to get to any places before the crowds joined in. So Well Done to the driver!
