Overview of your Melbourne tour

Enjoy a fun, fulfilled day out on a wildlife tour at Phillip Island! You will start your day visiting an animal park where you will have the opportunity to pat and feed kangaroos and wallabies as well as see koalas, wombats, and other Australian animals. Enjoy Churchill Island- Victoria's first farm. This beautiful farm has some very scenic views of the coast as it's situated on an island. There are many cute farm animals here, as well as a historical home from the 1800s, and demonstrations throughout the day (such as sheep shearing). Have a wonderful short stroll on a boardwalk along the rugged coastline at Seal Rocks. This location is simply spectacular as you get the see the huge waves carve against the basalt rocks. You will end your great day out at the Penguin Parade! Watch hundreds of penguins march back to their habitats once the sun goes down. This is a very amazing and special sight to witness!

Cameron knew a lot about the wildlife and he was friendly and accomodating. Got to know more about the animals and we just enjoyed the animal encounters especially the penguin parade! Will recommend Cam highly as a guide

Talika & Cam were prompt, attentive & friendly guides providing commentary along the tour and answering our questions about the area. The van was comfortable for 5 guests plus the 2 of them, and they provided bottled water and a couple of umbrellas due to rain at the Penguin Parade. We most enjoyed the Maru Wildlife Park & the interaction with the many animals & the time allowed for taking photos with the animals. Good sheep shearing demo at Churchill, spectacular coastline scenery, & adorable penguins.

Talika & Cameron were wonderful & deserve 5 stars; knowledgable & personable-made it easy to converse w/them. We felt safe (great driving); felt like being on tour w/good friends; seeing the new born calf on Churchhill Isle & being so close to the joeys in their mama's pouches at Maru Wildlife Park were surely just a few of the highlights (thanks to Cameron's keen eyes). Very satisfied!

This was one the best tours I have ever been on, Talika and Cameron were fun and informative, it felt like old friends showing you their part of the world. Highly recommended, they are best. Every site visited was ahead of other larger tours, often times you had the places free of crowds, and truly memorable experiences. Can't rate them high enough!!!

Talika and Cameron were a great team giving our tour a special feel. We enjoyed Cameron's safe driving and comfortable vehicle for our adventures. We took one of their many tours and enjoyed the landscape and conversation. We saw wallabies, black swans, wombats, kookabubrras, little penguins and an echidna in the wild. We touched and fed emus, kangroos and koalas and saw dingoes and tasmanian devils in a sactuary on the way to Phillips Island. We visited Churchill Island and thoroughly enjoyed our day!
