Melbourne Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Jay was our terrific tour leader. While there is plenty to see, Jay was always on the lookout for unique sights--such as koalas in the roadside trees or kangaroos hangling out on the hillsides--to stop for us to experience close up. With commentary full of history and humor, it was enjoyable day.

Great day trip with Go West! The stops at Brighton Beach, Moonlit Sanctuary, Woolamai Beach and Nobbies Boardwalk were all beautiful, before the amazing Penguin Parade. A big thank you to our guide, Chris N. He was friendly, knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information throughout the day. I really enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend Go West Tours, especially with Chris N! Thanks again Chris N :-) Amira!

Amazing full-day tour from Melbourne! We loved seeing the kangaroos and koalas, and the Penguin Parade was definitely the highlight. The whole day was well organised, with a friendly guide and plenty of time to enjoy each stop. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Melbourne and looking for a fun wildlife experience.
