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
I pre-purchased round-trip SkyBus tickets through KKday for transportation after arriving in Melbourne.
[Positive Points & Ease of Use]
No ticket exchange required: Simply showing the QR code (voucher) issued after purchase to the staff at the bus stop (or scanning it) allowed me to board immediately. There was no need to queue at ticket machines or counters, making it stress-free even after a long journey.
Frequent and convenient service: Buses run approximately every 10-15 minutes during the day, so I could board immediately at the bus stop without worrying about the timetable.
Comfortable access to the city center: The journey to Southern Cross Station, the city's central hub, takes about 30 minutes. The bus had Wi-Fi and a large luggage rack, making it very comfortable.
[Return Trip]
Since it was a round-trip ticket, I could use the same QR code at the SkyBus stop at Southern Cross Station for the return trip, which was very convenient.
Buying tickets through KKday was definitely the right decision! I felt much more secure paying in advance in Japanese than buying them locally, and I also earned points. I will definitely use KKday again the next time I go to Melbourne.
The tour guide explained the sights along the way and reminded us of things to pay attention to. The driving was also very safe, and the entire trip was completed smoothly. We even saw wild kangaroos!
