It was an exciting experience and I would definitely recommend that to my friends.
It was fun and exciting, but it could have been better if we started earlier. so we could spend more time on the beach. The beach part was too short for me and I barely had any chance to swim. I would also recommend providing more pickup locations. it was mostly at CBD, while if it had two other locations on the way to go Phillip Islands, it did not waste the tour time and suit others like me to be picked somewhere closer to their living places. For instance, I live in Heatherton, but I had to come into the CBD, while the bus came back to a similar location again!
