    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 had the pleasure of doing the 3/4 day tour for the Phillip Island Fairy Penguin Parade with our guide Sherif. Sherif was bright and very interactive with the group sharing his vast knowledge of the drive and the areas as we passed through them. Sherif took time to answer all questions as we travelled the 2 odd hours to Phillip Island. We were taken to several lookouts prior to going to the Penguin Parade. Prior to being dropped off Sherif took the time to explain the best vantage points to observe the Penguins as he had previously been a Parade member. This certainly enhanced our experience and we were very appreciative that Sherif took the time to go through it. Upon completion of the Parade Sherif took the time to gather where everyone was staying and planned the best route to drop each group off as close as practicable. A wonderful experience enhanced by a wonderful guide. Certainly recommend to anyone visiting Melbourne.
