Australian wildlife and conservation.

LanceCarrothers, July 2022

Visiting the local's home on French island was good. Seeing the penguins and learning about the conservation efforts on Phillip Island was rewarding. Chris did a great job as guide.

Response from Host, July 2022

Lance, we appreciate your feedback and are glad you got to experience French Island and its remote location as well as the little Penguins and the conservation effort by the team at Phillip Island Nature Park. Guides like Chris really make our guest's day memorable.
