Well planned tour knowlegable guide
Well planned tour knowlegable guide The guide was knowlegable and experience He told us the history, the conservation, the animal habitat detailedly He offered tips to see the parade Prepared a sit pad for us which i did not see other tour in the area did That was raining day and if you do not get a pad, you will get wet We also found secret spot to check out some wild animal Hopefully the the stay in Moonlit and parade could be a bit longer if possible I can see Travis is a person who loves animal and treats his position seriously. He reminded us to respect and protect the nature

Delightful introduction to Australia
This trip was excellent! We had recently arrived in Australia, do a half day trip was a good choice. The visit to Moonlit Sanctuary was a real highlight. My granddaughters got to personally interact with koalas, kangaroos and wallabies. Then the penguin parade topped off the evening. Our guide, Travis, was really amazing. He was well informed and gave us helpful and interesting information. He went above and beyond to make sure we were delivered back safely. The whole experience was delightful and worth every penny

A wonderful and thoughtful penguin experience
I had a wonderful trip to see the penguins with Travis. He was incredibly kind, extremely knowledgeable, and shared excellent stories and anecdotes about the animals and the history of the area. It was definitely not an ordinary tour, it was exceptionally well organised, thoughtful, and delivered with great care and kindness. I would highly recommend it.

Spectacular day trips to Philip Island and Great Ocean Road
We booked a tour of Philip Island and Great Ocean Road with Fred. What a wonderful two days! Our day trip to Philip Island included a stop at Moonlit Sanctuary. Moonlit is a well run wildlife sanctuary that includes a koala experience, access to wallabies and kangaroos, dingoes and even a Tasmanian devil! After our time there, we left to Philip Island. Fred gave us a lot of information about Philip Island, animals of the area and local culture. The experience at Philip Island was second to none. One of the best wildlife parks experiences I’ve ever had. We were in a group of 10 which allowed us special access to the beach which had less tourists. This is well worth it! The second day we did the Great Ocean Road. It was a beautiful experience. Fred made sure we stopped at unique lookout points. We enjoyed a lovely lunch and then headed to the Twelve Apostles. It truly was remarkable. Well worth the visit! Thank you to Fred for making these two days so memorable.

Shout out to Travis
10/10 for the day and for our amazing guide Travis. He made us feel very well looked after and introduced us to all the different animals at the sanctuary, including the adorable coconut! He gave us great advice on viewing the parade which was the highlight on a day of many. Thanks Travis for making it so special and for going above and beyond the entire day including an extra stop off at the end of a long day to see the incredible Aurora Australis.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Phillip Island Medium Size Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Phillip Island Medium Size Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $134 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Phillip Island Medium Size Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.
Is Phillip Island Medium Size Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Phillip Island Medium Size Group Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Phillip Island Medium Size Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Phillip Island Medium Size Group Tour?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Phillip Island Medium Size Group Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Melbourne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
