“Great excursion! The puffy Billy train is nice, sitting on the windows is funny and part of the excursion to enjoy the view but it’s not comfortable. We went to different beaches and view points in Phillip island. But the highlight was definitely the penguin parade, it was really amazing 🤩. The upgrade to the penguin plus is great, all the penguins will arrive just in front of you, so paying a small extra definitely worth it if you want to really enjoy the experience. The guide was nice and friendly.”
