Purchasing tickets online was a quick , easy and smooth experience and we got the day we wanted. Pricing was fair and no other hidden costs. We picked up our physical tickets at the ticket sales counter and proceeded straight on to the observational seating area. Every part of the experience was smooth, straightforward and very enjoyable. Seeing the penguins emerge from the water was the absolute highlight and exactly why we were there. A brilliant, positive and unforgettable experience . Thank you Headout, we highly recommend you and visiting the Penguin Parade !

All 3 parks on Phillip Island, easily booked through Headout, provided diverse and interesting experiences. Churchill Island gave a historical perspective, while the Koala reserve informed us of endangered species. The Penguin Parade was the highlight, with the penguins arriving via a "penguin raft" to nest in their burrows for the night.

The Cape Woolamai Morning Cruise was a fantastic way to see Phillip Island from the water. We spotted seals lounging on the rocks and got great views of the dramatic coastline. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about the local wildlife and geology throughout the trip. Well worth doing if you’re in the area

It was so memorable as it was my birthday 🎂. I loved the complete ride , cruise view rock was too good and dolphins 🐬, and also the penguins parade , the beach view everything was so good and overwhelming. So excited to watch penguins but they were less in number comparatively as it is winter times ,the crew suggested to visit in summer for more numbers . Overall it was a memorable birthday to me

Loved the decor and cleanliness. Very spacious rooms. The property is well maintained and really enjoyed the fireplace. Appreciate all the nice games provided for our entertainment. Just want to mention that it would have been nice to have heating in the third bedroom. Thank you for sharing your lovely place. Will surely come back.
