Description
Phillip Island - home to one of the largest penguin colonies in Australia. More than 30,000 little penguins live along its shores and each night penguins emerge from the surf and waddle along the beach to their burrows.Our new Phillip Island Penguin Parade afternoon tour is an ideal way of seeing this natural phenomenon if you have limited time available. You will be collected by your tour guide directly at your hotel. Travel with a maximum of 11 people so you can relax and enjoy the personalised service and the time to fully appreciate the journey.
As you cross the bridge from mainland to the Island you are immediately transfixed by the pristine beaches, an expansive bay and a dramatic coastline. Cross the Island to the Nobbies. Stroll along the boardwalk to experience the waves crashing along this rugged coastline, see the blowhole and be mesmerised by the stunning views. You might even encounter your first penguin nests. From here it’s off to the world- famous penguin parade. As darkness falls, they swim to shore and waddle across the beach back to their homes in the sand dunes of Summerland Beach. This is an experience you will never forget. Return to your Melbourne hotel at the FINAL of your eventful day.

Cumple lo que promete
Buena opción para conocer Melbourne. El grupo era chico y eso hizo todo más tranquilo. El guía era bueno, aunque hubiera preferido más tiempo para preguntas. Comparé precios antes de reservar y esta era la opción más conveniente. Hubiera preferido menos tiempo de traslado y más en el lugar. Igual lo volvería a hacer.

Repetiria sem pensar
Super recomendo. O horário de volta foi cumprido no minuto. O preço é honesto pelo que se recebe. O ponto de saída precisa de melhor sinalização, custamos para achar. Recomendaria a qualquer um que visite Melbourne.

Impecable, no le encuentro un pero. No es lo más barato, pero se justifica. Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite Melbourne.

Das melhores coisas que fizemos na viagem. Tudo pontual e bem organizado. Não é o mais barato, mas se justifica. Se voltarmos a Melbourne, repetimos.

Gostamos
Foi bom, com altos e baixos. Muito bom que incluía taxa de entrada no Phillip Island Nature Park (área de visualização regular). O ritmo era confortável, nem corrido nem chato. O áudio cortava em alguns trechos. Boa opção, principalmente na primeira visita.
