    Going to see the Fairy Penguins was a real highlight of our holiday. I would advise, be patient and make your way back along the deck once the crowd has died down.

    I loved seeing the penguins return to shore at Phillip Island—it was a truly memorable and heartwarming experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and the availability of multilingual support made the experience even more enjoyable and accessible.

    Loved the whole experience. The staff and facilities are awesome, reasonably priced souvenirs and the penguin experience very special indeed. I particularly liked the walk along the boardwalk which gave you very close views of the penguins heading home. Beautiful also watching the sunset before putting the camera away and just enjoying the night.

    We brought overseas visitors to watch the koalas and their excitement was wonderful to watch and then we got to watch an echidna digging in an ant nest so close by that was such a new sight for the visitors saying to us that this will always be in their memory
