This tour is highly recommended! I get carsick and would normally choose a Mercedes minibus, but our guide, Michael Zhu, drove very smoothly (I didn't get carsick at all and even recorded many videos along the way). He provided excellent introductions to the sights, and since I was traveling alone, he was also very helpful in taking photos, ensuring I had many wonderful pictures from my trip. I highly recommend our guide, Michael Zhu! 👍👍👍
There are many buses, and even if you miss the one in front of you, the next one will come soon. You don't have to wait more than a few minutes, and it takes less than half an hour to get to the city. The only downside is that the free Wi-Fi on the bus is always unavailable.

September 21 tour, this time with the tour guide Curtis, who speaks Cantonese, English and Mandarin, the trip time arrangement is very good.
Itinerary: Bathing Box > mini train (the time is different every day, my group was the 11 o'clock mini train) then lunch at the visitor center > zoo > Nobbies sea view plus sunset > penguins home
The only rush is the penguins returning home, if you want to eat, there will be a little rush, but I finished eating and then entered the time is just right, sitting for a few minutes began to have penguins back, because it is sitting by the sea, and it is dark, so remember to be windproof and warm, and reserve some time to see penguins up close (I bought Premium, personally think it's worth it, but the guide has introduced general penguin guide)
Maru Zoo is not big, but worth going, feel the animals inside have more than friendly treatment, but we went in the afternoon, feel the kangaroos are full, but does not affect the experience, and the guide will introduce the various animals very carefully, very good!
The little train is a very special experience, the journey takes about an hour, the scenery along the way is good, remember to stabilize a beautiful spot, basically should be in the same truck with the group, we went a bit cold, pay attention to keep warm
