Penguin Parade 1 Day Tour - Daniel was the best tour guide I’ve had since arriving in Australia a month ago. Providing onboard humour, useful history and overall good vibes. Would give more stars if I could for what he brought to the tour alone. Visiting from the UK meant seeing the Penguin Parade was a once in a lifetime experience, and the Koalas earlier in the day were incredible in their own right. I came away from the experience with a little penguino of my own with a charming grandad knit sweater vest!! If you’re considering booking on to the Penguin Parade Tour, I couldn’t recommend it more and I hope you also get Daniel as your guide.

Campbell was great! Thoroughly enjoyed the wine tour, loved it

Daniel and Brit were amazing tour guides and went above and beyond to make our experience the best possible. Went on the Grampians National Park tour and it is a great one-day tour if you only have that much time to spare. Caught awesome views and learnt about the significance of the place. The food/washroom stops were also timed greatly. Thank you to the team and guides. Highly recommended!

Happy that I had the opportunity to go on the Great Ocean Road Tour. The weather was perfect, the bus was comfortable and fully air-conditioned. Our Tour Guide and Driver, Chris was great and loves what he does.He made sure that he knew everyones name and also ensured that we were comfortable always. The trip is fun although you may hear some very sad stories that took place along the route. I would definitely recommend this trip.Will be doing the other tours with Wildlifetours when I come to visit Australia again.

I liked this excursion with an experienced guide (Mitch). We took a detour to meet kangaroos, walked the Blue Mountains, the Falls Trail, and visited the Three Sisters ending with an amazing sunset. The perfect excursion.

My girl friend and I did the "Great Ocean Road & 12 Apostles Day Tour from Melbourne". A great overall tour that gives you spectacular views of the great ocean road with a nice combination of small stops along the way. The tour covers a lot of ground in a day but the journey is not overwhelming and you get a lot more time to explore then I initially thought. The lunch is actually a full meal from a restaurant and pretty good. I would recommend bringing some snacks along in case you get hungry on the journey home. Big shout out to our guide/driver, Grant, who did a great job taking us on our full day journey down under.

We did the 1 day Great Ocean Road tour and it was just great. Our guide/driver Chris was always on time, informative, fun and incredibly helpful . We even saw koalas! It's a good tour if you want to see all the spot, would definitely do it again.

My sister and I are over the moon with this tour! The whole experience from start to finish was amazing! we enjoyed the whole tour, the food the accommodation and the company of our lovely group. I highly recommend Monkey Mia Tour and especially want to thank our tour guide Geoff A perfect guide who was very attentive and respectful to everyone in the group, making sure that everyone could see and hear well and was happy to take as many pictures we wanted as well respond to all our questions. I was completely impressed by his knowledge and would definitely do other tours with him and autopia tours/wildlife tours.

Went on the Philip island penguin tour today, with tour guide Dandy, was great experience and he was such an informative/enthusiastic and outgoing guide. Very easy to get along with. Would 110% recommend this tour. Especially if you’re blessed with dandy as your tour guide!

My two young boys and I did the snow tour and it was incredible. Our tour guide brit was amazing! she remembered everyone's names, made us feel like a big family ❤️ Highly recommend 👌

We had a great tour to Philip island. Brit was an excellent guide, both knowledgeable and entertaining. Loved the koalas.penguins and wallabies. Highly recommended.

Great trip to Lake Mountain Resort. Our tour guide Brit made the drive so pleasurable with her energy and local knowledge. I highly recommend this day trip to visit some cool sights and have a drive through the Yarra. Thank you

went on a tour to the grampians with my friend.our guide, daniel, was really engaging and shared interesting bits of information and history throughout our time at the grampians as well as on the bus rides to different locations. the whole tour was very well-planned, i highly recommend it to anyone coming to melbourne! and thanks to daniel and brit for the great experience :)

The 1 Day Great Ocean Road tour was on our first day in Australia. What a fantastic way to kick of our visit! Our tour guide Britt was AMAZING! She was knowledgeable and entertaining. The number of stops and pace of the tour was perfect.

I went to Lake mt trip with them. Awesome tour. Well planned, very friendly and very informative. Highly recommended. Thanks to Peter for being our tour guide. If you come Melbourne for a holiday please consider using Wildlife Tours.

Had a great day seeing Mackenzie falls. Both Daniel and Brit were great guides and made the whole experience memorable

Incredible tours all over Victoria! I have already done Great Ocean Road, Grampians and Yarra Valley with these guys and wouldn't recommend anyone else. Guides have always been very knowledgable and funny, food has been good and every trip has been just amazing. Definitely recommend doing the 'reverse' Great Ocean Road tour with them. You avoid all the crowds and get the best pictures(+dinner haha) Grampians is absolutely beautiful, hikes weren't long or hard. We got very close to some wil kangaroos, I was even petting one!! Amazing. Yarra Valley was the latest I did. Even if you don't care for wine, you could still enjoy this tour. We went to a few great wineries and we had tastings, but we also went to a fresh produce farm, that was very interesting to see and hear how they run the place. We also visited a brewery and chocolate factory. I have never had so much good food on a tour. Just amazing. Can't wait to join on the Mornington Peninsula Winery tour with these guys!! Thank you for providing such amazing 3 tours and making my days special.

Very enjoyable experience. The Penguins were so interesting. Great to have the opportunity to see koalas, wallabies and an echidnas! Our guide was really enthusiastic and had an immense knowledge of the wildlife.

The one-day trip to the Grampians proved to be an invaluable resource for an unforgettable adventure. The meticulously curated itinerary ensured we made the most of our limited time. We were guided by the amazing Wes Albert. Wes's recommendations, were not only visually stunning but also manageable for a one-day visit. His historical insights, particularly about Indigenous culture and rock art, added a meaningful layer to our exploration. The guide seamlessly balanced adventure and relaxation, suggesting ideal spots for a leisurely picnic or a moment of quiet reflection. Wes's nuanced approach captured the essence of the Grampians, making our short visit feel rich with discovery. In summary, this one day trip is a must-have for those seeking a well-rounded, immersive day trip to the Grampians. The attention to detail, thoughtful recommendations, and expert insights make it a standout resource for both seasoned travelers and first-time explorers.

Well organised trip with really excellent driver/guide in David. Stopped at Koala reserve which was interesting to see Koalas in their almost natural habitat. Refreshment break was in Cowes which had plenty of choice of eating places and was a pretty place to spend time. We then stopped at the Nobbies briefly to view bird life but there was nothing open here despite the car park being full of visitors. The on to the penguin parade. This was disappointing. The viewing area was well set up and organised but the while experience was ruined by people (almost all Asian) refusing to stay seated, refusing to keep quiet, refusing to turn off and stop using their mobile phones. This despite being asked on numerous occasions by the rangers who explained this behaviour would deter the penguins. Consequently we saw very few penguins. So annoying, I don't know why they bother coming. Just another tick on their tour list I suppose. Quite frankly their behaviour was appalling.

We did Litchfield and Katherine Gorge. Turned out we had Becs for these two tour. We had Becs on our Kakadu tour as well. Could not have been happier or lucky enough to have Becs. She is friendly, happy( early in the morning as well) knowledgeable a complete package. She obviously enjoys her job. Mel & Mark

Great full day tour to Grampian National Park, visiting Boroka lookout, Balconies, Halls Gap, McKenzie Falls. Also seeing grey Kangaroos, emus during the trip. Jeremy is an amazing tour guide and bus driver. We enjoy the tour very much. Highly recommended for visitors to Melbourne!

My family and I had a fantastic Great Ocean Road experience with our fabulous tour guide, Danny! We were able to avail the promo and booked the next day, Danny was enthusiastic the moment we first met And throughout the entire trip, it was amazing to hear the aboriginal and unique stories such as the dreaming koala, his poems, and curated playlists that is related to where we go! Totally enjoyed all the stops he brought us on and we were even way earlier than most tour buses so that we get to experience without much crowd on most stops. He even was so kind to drop us home since we were the only ones at last stop and how caring he is, even to the environment by picking up trash from the Razorback and Twelve Apostles! Thank you so much Dandi and we will forever treasure this wonderful trip 💖

We stayed at the AC Marriott in Melbourne. When we asked at the desk about booking a tour to see the coast, Christina was very helpful. She looked on line and helped us book the tour. This was our first visit and didn't know what or how to book it. She was great!! She highly recommended this tour and we had a fantastic time. We enjoyed the tour very much. We would have booked another one; however, we were not able to schedule another one before we left. However, if we were able to do another tour, I would have booked with this company again. It was easy and very enjoyable. The coach was comfortable and the guide was great! We had to meet the coach at another hotel, but it was not a difficult walk to get to. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a tour. Special thanks to Christina for finding this company on line and helping us book it.

Tim's deep knowledge of the Great Ocean Road tour enabled us to minimize the congestion with other tours and gets us to fascinating views of beautiful Australia. His rough voice and music selections adds drama to the lands' histories that he passionately tells. Never a dull moment and for sure any tourist would feel very welcome with Tim. Tim is 5 stars for me but the overall is a 4 (bus comfort, itinerary, etc.). Simple tip for tourists: have a good breakfast or bring food/drinks to eat along the way or just get motion-sickness ready for the long road trip. Also, consider a direct trip to the 12 Apostles and then Great Ocean Road spots on the return.

Wildlife Tours was an amazing experience!!! Mitch was great and really funny/entertaining!! The walk at Blue Mountains was amazing and the waterfalls were spectacular!! I loved the 2 hour hike (good hiking shoes recommended!)! Loved seeing wild cockatoos and kangaroos! Great trip overall! And I loved the noon start!!

Went one the one day tour to Phillip Island. Princess Fiona was the most amazing guide and driver we have ever had. Her history and insights were magnified by her enthusiasm. The visit with the Koalas and Wallabies were amazing and the little penguins were a sight to behold. Our hearts were so full after this tour. Could have gone home happy after this experience but we have 34 more days to go.

Like our driver says, where else can you find a bald and handsome one?! This has to be it! He was so humorous, patient and nice to every one of the group of 35 onboard! So glad I booked this trip.

Yesterday I came back from the Great Ocean Road + Grampians tour. The tourguide, Tim, was amazing: even the music was thought through. He had lots of stories to tell. A very caring and fun man. Further... The hostel was nice. Breakfast was above expectations. The sights were great. Overall a very very good experience. Recommend to everyone!

What a great excursion for our group of 7 travellers. Wes, our driver and guide for the day, was a very safe driver and very knowledgeable about the Apostles and the shipwreck coast and the areas through which we travelled. The bus, while not as comfortable and luxurious as a large coach, was comfy enough and easy to access when getting on and off. Because we did the tour in the reverse order (which we believe is the best way to do it) there were not large crowds at the places we stopped. A bonus for us was the rare sighting of a koala in the wild on the side of the road on our return journey. This is definitely an experience for all, local and international, young or old. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The tour was very informative and fun, my son and I had a lovely experience during our tour of Philip Island, which included a Koala Sanctuary, the lively town of Cowe and the world-famous penguin parade.

This was the first reason I wanted to go to Melbourne apart from meeting my old friends. Great Ocean Road Trip. I was fortunate enough to select Reverse tour and that too with Wildlife Tours who were very professional right from booking the tour to letting me know the change in time of the pick up to the punctuality to professional guide to almost everything you can ask for. The only thing I was worried was the weather. There was a rain forecast for that day and it was cloudy when we started. Our guide Andrew was right on time (he was standing there before time). We had a small 10 seater bus. We started on time. Meanwhile Andrew kept asking us where we would like to stop for breakfast or if anyone wants a toilet break. He kept on telling the history and interesting stories of the place before actually reaching that place. He was knowledgeable, very entertaining and told many jokes. He made sure that everyone is comfortable and enjoying. He also made sure that we got enough time to see the places and made lots of bonus stops. All in all an unforgettable journey of my life ended in no time and created lots of happy memories for lifetime. How I wish I can go back in time and take this tour again!! Thanks to Wildlife tours Australia for the amazing experience.

We went on a day tour to Phillip island with our wonderful tour guide Fiona and had an amazing time. Fiona is informative, super friendly and full of energy. She gave us some great tips about the penguin parade and we get to see many little penguins up close! Definitely would recommend Fiona and wildlife tours!

I took the two day tour to the Great Ocean Road and Grampians NP and it was awesome. Fraser was our guide and he did an amazing job pointing out all the wildlife and giving us history or details on places we visited. For a short stop in Melbourne, this was a great way to get a taste of some highlights of the area.

After deliberating for some time on which Great Ocean Road Trip we would take, we happened across the Wildlife Tours of Australia website which offered a reverse trip that allows you to see all the sites in reverse order from the usual tours and means there are less crowds. We opted for this and couldn’t have been happier. We were picked up promptly by our guide Doug right beside our hotel and after a few short pick ups of other guests, we were on our way to the 12 apostles. On route, we stopped for a comfort break at a lovely little bakery for some hot coffee before driving on again with Doug giving us all the facts and history along the way. Once we got to the apostles, we were given free time to explore and take in the views which we absolutely stunning and offered full panoramic looks over the towering rock formations. Pictures online do not do these sites justice and they need to be witnessed in person. We were slightly unfortunate in our timing in that we arrived during what must have been one of the windiest days in Melbourne’s history. We left the 12 Apostles and headed for Loch Ard and the magnificent lookout point, albeit a little windswept. We were given a tasty lunch of sandwiches and fresh fruit and given free time to explore the area. You are given enough time to explore both the beach and clifftop walk, both of which I fully recommend. Again the views at this location are unrivalled and need to be seen to be believed. Once back on the bus were given the interesting and informative story of how Loch Ard had gotten its name and the history of the Shipwreck. Doug really knew his stuff and imparted his knowledge in a very engaging manner. We continued the journey to the Great Ocean Road whilst stopping a couple more times to see koalas in the wild and flocks of parrots, sulphur crested and gallah cockatoos which was a real highlight for us as we were desperate to see Australian animals in the wild. We even had time to stop at Melba’s Gully, a rainforest on route where we were lucky enough to encounter a special black snail which is only found in this area. The drive along the Great Ocean Road was stunning and delivered unparalleled views all along the coast taking in sweeping coastlines, beautiful coastal towns and stunning beaches. We made our final stop at the Great Ocean Road memorial arch and had plenty of opportunity to explore and take photos. Doug even took the time to take a picture of us together on our camera. All in all, we had an amazing time on this trip and it delivered exactly what was promised. The sites were relatively quite and well worth the journey. Doug, our guide was mazing and has a real passion for what he does. Doug took the time to engage with his guests, find what each person wanted to see and tried to accommodate everyone’s requests.

Great Ocean Road Reverse Itinerary with 12 Apostles from Melbourne Hmm...where should I start. The whole experience was rather unpleasant. Small shuttle minibus! 22 people were jam packed into one small shuttle. I can't imagine a tall or bigger size person can sit comfortable through out the journey. Ironically, we bumped into another group from the same company driven in a big proper bus. The comfort and luxury that we didn't have. Tragic. No Tour Guide? The driver is the tour guide. This is the first time we come across a driver that also wears the hat of a tour guide. Is this safe? Can he concentrate when he's talking to us? We felt the driver was rather inexperienced, like we're on a museum tour and he recites everything from Wikipedia. It was very flat and no energy at all. While overall he's friendly and courteous, we stopped listening after a while. I don't think people at the back listened at all with the lack of interaction. It really felt like we booked a car transfer than a proper tour. Disappointing.

We took the full day tour of Grampians National Park tour from Melbourne and it’s a trip I’d highly recommend. Our tour guide Wes was great about giving us a good background on Australian history and culture. We went on 2 hikes — the first one was an easy 1k and the second one had the option of easy or difficult. We chose the difficult option and it was 260 steps down. Coming back up those 260 steps on a warm day was no joke. Even so we had a great time and got to get out in nature and see a beautiful part of the country.

Highly recommend the Philip Island Penguin Parade tour. The tour guide David was really good and explained lot of things about the Philip islands on the way. The bus was very comfortable and lots of leg room compared to other tour operators bus. The reason for not giving 5 star is that the itinerary could be planned a bit better and can include some toilet break. We guys sat continuously for 3 hrs without any toilet break. For my 5 yr old kid it became an ordeal and we have to stop the bus on the side. Other passengers did stop the bus on the road to relieve themselves which wasn’t ideal at all. So anyone traveling make sure your bladder are empty before you board the bus. Also there is no food and drink allowed on the bus which wasn’t mentioned at the time of booking, so keep in mind you don’t buy any food for your journey.

Did a sunset tour of the Great Ocean Road to the 12 apostles with Steve G. Great tour guide, friendly - even letting two people who missed their tour onto ours after checking with the company, very knowledgeable, was there for those on the tour, taking photos of tour participants at key locations, answered all questions and clear with instructions. The tour company themselves are professionals and tours are great value - for around $100 I got to see sunset at the 12 apostles and it's surrounds which as a photographer was truly magical, plus got to visit a chocolate factory, get photos at the causeway of the Great Ocean Road and even see Koalas. Not too many tours you can do so much for so little. A great experience for this Aussie local even if most of these tours are for internationals. If you're from interstate. save the stress and hassle of driving and jump on this tour companies tours.

My family and I had a fantastic trip of four days from Perth to Monkey Mia. the leading destination was to see the dolphins. Our daughter was just amazed by these wild animals. I can say that it was a great trip. Happy with the wildlife company's service and highly recommend this destination.

It was a great tour thanks to our tour guide, Dandy from Wildlife Tours. He had amazing and fun stories to tell and kept the tour interesting even on the bus during the journey to the different locations. He shared beautiful music with us from Aussie singer songwriters and musicians. The timing of the tour was just right as well, we got to witness a beautiful sunset.

Had a great day down to Philip Island with our guide Dandi. The trip included a koala reserve as well as the beach at Cowes. We left at 2pn and we got back at 11:30pm, basically you return 2 hours after you leave the island (and you leave 90 mins after sunset) The Penguins were terrific, especially the 30 minutes after they come up the beach as you can follow them home into their burrows from the boardwalk. No photos allowed of the penguins but koalas are ok

Nice and great 1 day tour in Phillip island. Driver Nate was great, was a safe driver and was funny too. 👍🏼👍🏼

1 Day Great Ocean Road Tour Before booking we checked the different companies as we would like a smaller group tour and so we ended by booking this tour. However, when we got picked up we were shocked to see a bus with a capacity of 39 passengers. This lead to a lot of waiting time during each stop as it takes a lot of time to get on and off the bus. This was frustrating during the tour as it took time from the other lookouts. Furthermore by having this large bus some of the lookouts were not accessible as the bus simply could not fit in there if there were other cars. We were lucky to have the guide, Dandy, who did an excellent job. He was very informative and pleasant to be around. During the trip, he talked about the different areas and combined them with personal stories making it a more unique and heartwarming experience. So if you want a smaller group tour, don´t book this tour.

We did a 1-day tour of Phillips Island out of Melbourne. Our driver Fiona was a helpful guide in pointing out wildlife and giving great tips on seeing the penguins. We had plenty of time to grab lunch in Cowes and explore a little before heading to the Koalas, and then the penguins. Overall, an excellent trip. Would recommend!

The whole experience was amazing . A full day filled of surprises, incredible landscapes and the best guide . If you are short of time this tour will give you a great overview of the area . Loved it all!

Booked a tour to Phillip Island and was very satisfied. The group was a manageable size and the bus comfortable. Our guide Leon was friendly, entertaining, very accommodating, and definitely knows his stuff! So good to have met a fellow history buff!

Great day trip! Steve was an amazing guide, his stories were fab, couldn’t do enough for everyone and he showed us some great stops on the great ocean road. The journey is full of windy roads so if you get travel sick, be prepared. And it’s a super long day (12 hours) but it’s absolutely worth it!! Great day

Great tour of the 12 apostles/great Ocean road. Our tour guide, IIkay, was fantastic. He had great local knowledge , great passion for this work, kept us well informed, good driver and entertainer and attended to all requests. Most visiting spots were allocated adequate time to explore and take pics .

The views are ok but is too many hours on the bus just to see nice coastals. Do not see animals or anything… the walk on the forest it is a 15 min walk just for seeing “normal” trees… after a 15 min sandwich on a place without any comfort. Would not do it again. 😩The guide was very nice!

Our one day Great Ocean tour with Wildlife Tours was everything they described and definitely worth it. We did the reverse tour and as they identified we avoided a lot of the big crowds. Our tour guide, Peter and bus driver, Gary(?) were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to make the trip as memorable as possible. Thanks for a great experience, Wildlife Tours!

We loved the trip with our tour guide, Janet. Not only could we see lots of breathtaking places. We could also listen to her interesting stories.

It was great experience with Wild life tours for the awesome trip. One thing can be considered to increase the wait time on each spots. However a great trip and the tour guide Rachel was very patient enough for everyone to arrive
