It was heaps fun. The bus was comfortable and clean. Plenty of toilet stops so the long ride was not too bad. We stopped a few times on the side of the road for a better photo opportunity and in hindsight I would have skipped those in favour for a more time at a proper stop like the rainforest or Appolo bay. I would have in enjoyed a longer tour there. I feel like we missed out on those two locations. Colac was absolutely not necessary in terms of where we stopped. Yes there was a public rest room right there however, I wasted my 20 minutes walking around trying to find food. The two functional restaurants did not cater to the bus time requirements, and that's totally understandable. We could have either skipped that location all together or stopped at the actual lake or stopped much earlier at the start of the town where there were multiple stations and fast food restaurants. Getting stuck in traffic resulting in a 2 hour delay was not something anyone could prepare for. This stuff happens. Eliot did a great job telling us about the various locations and giving us many historical details a local lore. He was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Considering the distance we covered in one day, the entry fees, and all the careful navigation that is required driving down the coast, this excursion was great value for money.

It was good, just a little long one. The view is amazing and we had a good weather. Maybe it is a long tour for only one day

Sight Seeing and Rain forest walk. Time to spend for lunch and specially at the destination was too little. Was given only 35 mins to see the 12 Apostles. Considering long ques, should allow more time at Apostles. try seeing Koalas on the side of the road was waste of time. Bus is not very comfortable. There is hardly any leg space. Not ideal for people with long legs. Drive was good.
