I had a great time. Loved the Koalas best. The wee penguins were quite slow coming out of the sea, but did get to see several of the dapper little birds. Scenery was spectacular, too.

A great experience for the whole family. With a great value for money we could visit 3 different attractions. They were all nature related. Being a homeschool family we value the natural interactions. It was a wonderful experience, easy to access all the attractions and an opportunity for bonding and learning together.

What made my visit with Headout special was how easy and convenient the whole experience was. The booking process was simple, everything went smoothly on the day, and I also received a discount on other tickets, which was a great bonus. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable and worthwhile.

Tom made the day so fantastic and we couldn't recommend anyone higher for your first experience out to Phillip Island. The knowledge he passed on, the little jokes he made here and there made the day so memorable. To top it all off, Tom essentially dropped everyone back to their hotel so no one had to walk far at night time. Thank you Tom.

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
