Ticketing was easy to follow and information and maps for the three activities were good. The staff at all three were really helpful, pleasant and made the experiences fun. It was fun getting close to the animals at Churchill Island and the highlight was milking the cow. Walking around the koala reserve and again getting to see them up close was special. The highlight of the afternoon was the penguin parade, particularly getting to see them as they went to their burrows, from the boardwalk. We all agreed that we had a great day. We self drove.

It was so incredible seeing the penguin parade and hearing the penguins call to each other. It was magical to witness them in nature. Aleks was an awesome guide with loads of knowledge and a wonderful personality.

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

Went with my parents and they LOVED it. The guide helped my mum get the perfect photo at the Apostles (she’s v proud lol). Only downside was that it was raining on and off, but that made the cliffs look dramatic. Bus was clean and stops were well timed.
