The itinerary was absolutely wonderful and impressive. The commentary provided by the driver was abundant, which let me know things I could not find in travel books. Additionally, the humor presented by the driver made a very pleasant trip. The only pity was that we had only roughly 25 minutes at Koala Conservation Centre, which was insufficient. But I would definitely recommend this tour.

It was a great experience, really great to see them all. The only downside was it was pouring down with rain.

There are lots of flies at the farm, so be prepared! Koalas were cute but mostly asleep. The penguins were fabulous. You see them from really close up. It's definitely worth paying the extra to sit in the stand with fewer people. It's quite cold, so wrap up warm.

The little penguins are an experience not to be missed. Be sure to bring a blanket along, though! For the best up-close look at koalas in a natural setting, the sanctuary stop is a must. We got great photos with none of the corny backdrops used at many other tourist locations.

Those little penguins are so bloomin' adorable, you'll have to resist the urge to sneak a couple in your pocket! Definitely do the upgrade to the platform. It was so worth it, as probably around 85 of the penguins that came ashore walked within 3-4 feet of us. Oh, and you can hand-feed and pet the kangaroos at the Warook Farm, which was definitely a highlight of our whole trip.

This was a perfect day, climaxing in an amazing sight - not only these little guys struggling up the beach, but their mates calling and waiting anxiously for them to return.

The tour was fantastic. The tour guide was very informative and funny. It was great to see so much in one afternoon.

The tour was a mind-blowing experience. Koalas were plentiful at the Conservation Centre. At the cattle farm we saw kangaroos, sheep, emus, and a lotof bird life, but oddly no cattle or even mention of cattle.

What an amazing experience watching the penguins. The only point I would like to make is that when we went to see the kangaroos at the ranch, there was only five of them.

The ultimate experience tour is worth every penny, it made our holiday.

The small extra dollars for the viewing platform are well worth it. I could see the penguins up close. The working farm on the way was not that impressive. The animals were not very active, probably because it was a very hot afternoon.

This experience was wonderful. Well worth it even on a cold, rainy evening. I would suggest taking plastic to sit on if the weather is inclement. Watching the penguins emerge from the sea was unbelievable. Thanks!
