Would highly recommend to learn about the island.


We were with Russell and had a wonderful day trip starting from Winery, Seagull nest coast, Wallaby jumping road and finally thousands of penguins are coming back to their home. Thank you so much Russell to make this precious timw happen and I strongly recommend this experience with my colleagues after I back to the Seoul. Thank you so much 🥰♥️



Each stop was great and had all tastings and lunch (which was lovely) included in the price as well as some local attractions/views to stop along on the way!
Sue was amazing and so friendly throughout the day and definitely made the tour!
I would like to leave a review. Our tour guide was Caitlin . My husband & I had an amazing day from start to finish.
We enjoyed the winery plus lunch & the penguin parade.
Nothing was a problem for Caitlin. She looked after our small group exceptionally well. Very friendly & knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour !!

The best part was the Penguins. They are so cute and tiny. Dress warm and in layers, throughout the day we definitely felt many weather conditions. Thanks to the email they sent us ahead time letting us know, I was prepared. Must do tour! Well worth the money!
