Nice to spend the day, the part of the Koalas very cute, I was a little anxious to see a Koala walking back and forth near the door as if he wanted to leave and could not do it.

The animals are so special. There was a little guy I think his name was Twix, who was especially adorable and interactive. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We were visiting from the US and this was a memorable experience for all of us. I also got the cutest softest stuffed animal at the gift shop.

Was a lifetime experience being from the UK to feed and stroke kangaroos, wallabys and stroke a koala bear. Another scored off the bucket list. Lady at reception was so nice and helpful. Not keen on the caged animals though as one or two were pacing back and forward along one side of the fence which is a clear indication of the animal being mentally effected by being caged up. Food is expensive. Rangers are so knowledgeable and friendly. Oh and saw a real Tasmanian devil!!!

Penguins, very much. The animal park was just ok. The amount of time on the bus, while perhaps unavoidable, was not enjoyable. Very, very long day. Would have loved the opportunity to swim. Brighton beach houses were a bust, didn't even have time to kick off shoes and wade in the beautiful water.

The tour was amazing! Definitely recommend if you're wanting to see the beautiful views victoria has to offer. Moonlit sanctuary homing an incredible range of native animals offering close up experiences. Phillip Island did not disappoint, being able to see the penguins in their natural habitat was a once in a lifetime experience. Our journey made even better by our tour guide Jonno who was friendly, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his job.
