Kevin was the name of our guide and had really made the trip interactive. He gave some trivia on Melbourne during the drive and when visiting the Moonlit Sanctuary, he had given us feed to interact with the kangaroos and wallabies. Overall a pleasant experience!

The experience was very enjoyable and the facilities were impressive. The penguins did their bit and were extremely Cute. One thing to keep in mind however, if you are planning to photograph these little creatures, you will be disappointed. They have zero camera use policy. Regardless of whether you have a flash or not.

Whole day was great, we got picked up in a small minibus with air con! Martin was our driver he was very chatty, friendly & very knowledgeable so he was giving us information as we were driving from place to place. Was great to see the koalas and feed the wallabies in the sanctuary. Even though there was a fair bit of driving overall it didn’t feel like we were ever in the bus for too long. Seeing the penguins was a great experience. Would highly recommend this tour & Martin!
