Frequently asked questions
Where does the tour start and how do I get there?
The tour departs from outside the Immigration Museum on Flinders Street in Melbourne's CBD. You need to make your own way to the meeting point — it is not a hotel pick-up tour.
What time does the tour return to Melbourne?
The return time varies throughout the year because the Penguin Parade takes place at dusk, which shifts with the seasons. Expect a late return to the city.
Can I get audio commentary in my language?
Yes. Download the free Go West Tours app before you depart to access commentary in Arabic, Malay, Cantonese, French, German, Italian, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese, and Hindi.
Can I bring a pram or large bag?
No. Prams, strollers, luggage, and large bags are not permitted on the tour vehicle due to limited storage space. Please travel light.
Can children travel without an adult?
Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. If they wish to travel unaccompanied, a signed parent or guardian consent form is required.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The itinerary may be adjusted due to weather or traffic conditions. Dress in layers and be prepared for all weather, particularly for the evening coastal section on Phillip Island.
