I recommend this for older children (not preteen) and bring a jacket!

Nancy_R, Jan 2023

Long day and the kids were very tired at the end. They provide lots of sightseeing and the guide was terrific. I wish we had been forewarned about how cold and windy it was going to be so we would have brought jackets. The final piece of seeing the penguins was miserable because we were all so cold.

Hello Thanks for taking time to write a review. Glad you enjoyed your trip with Around And About. Sorry about or weather, we are know to have 4 season in a day. Phillip Island has more cold days than hot days, the wind is cold when it comes over the ocean. It is a long day for the children, however i am sure they will remeber the penguins Do you know that we have many more tour that you can choose from for your next getaway. Hope to see you aboard in the future. All the best from the Team at Around And About

It was a full day tour, back in town around 11pm - quite long but a lot of fun with Walter, our great tour guide :) The tour is a good combination of animal experience and nice landscapes, would recommend!
