Noel our tour guide was good at all information about this tour. We had a grand time spending all our stops with him. Friendly caring and always looking after the tour group, we feel Welcome and safe. Also the lunch break was fabilous and we had the seafood platter, it was yummy! Thanks again Noel, we had a great time. Highly recommended. Jud&Gary.

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.

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.
