We visited the Melbourne Skydeck for my birthday, and it was such a memorable experience! The breathtaking views of Melbourne made the celebration extra special, and we truly enjoyed every moment. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the entire venue was clean, well-organized, and easy to explore. Watching the city from above was absolutely amazing, especially with the stunning panoramic views. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Melbourne. We had a fantastic time and would definitely visit again!

The viewing platforms and boardwalks provide excellent opportunities to see the penguins up close without disturbing them. Knowledgeable staff and informative displays at the visitor centre add to the experience by explaining the penguins’ behaviour, conservation efforts, and the importance of preserving their environment. One of the highlights is the peaceful atmosphere as dusk falls and the penguins make their way home after a day of fishing. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Australian wildlife experience.

The Penguin Parade was the highlight of our holiday. The staff were very knowledgeable and shared information about the penguins, what to expect and took the time to answer questions. We were so close to the sand and the magic of watching the tiny little penguins waddle up the beach together was just magical. I love that all the money goes back into protecting the environment of the island as well as research. It is a truly wonderful experience and one of the best eco tourism experiences around.

Loved seeing the penguins and hearing all about them by the knowledgeable rangers. It was a magical experience and despite the rain we had a good sense of humour and just lapped it all up. The rangers were so friendly and welcoming. We felt so comfortable and at ease. Omgosh the penguins were by far the highlight. Sweet little things that they are - and there were so many to see. Definitely a must see, even if you've been before.

The views from Melbourne Skydeck were amazing. Great to pick out all the landmarks and loved the way they were highlighted. Parks ans Gardens cruise was lovely too. Great to learn a bit about the sports arenas and gardens all around. Really helped to get besting in the city, especially as lit when coupled with the sky deck. Great info as well about the changing shape of the river to help keep Melbourne safe from glooding.

Totally worth to see the penguin returning from the sea. They are so cute trying to be brave to get our from the water. On the way walking back, there were chances to watch penguin in such a short distance. The night was clear and we saw the whole galaxy on the sky which is very amazing. For the whale watching, we were lucky to see several tail flipping in a distance. Good weather made it lovely.

Proper guidance and instructions over time. Thought of getting it very close but not that much, however, we enjoyed the moment once it started heading towards their own home

There weren't many people there, so we were able to sit down, and it was very pleasant. The staff working there were also very friendly.
