It's my second time of visiting Philip Island and I will always love to bring back my friends and family for the wild life parks and Penguins. Penguin Parade is the highlight of the tour.

We had James who was extremely knowledgeable, full of information and gave us a good laugh. It was such a nice day & really enjoyed every moment. Didn't once feel rushed on the tour, felt like there was plenty of time at each spot and really got to know all about Melbourne, Penguins and the good that the sanctuary does. Highly recommend
