The Great Ocean Road was gorgeous - even though we had pockets of rain along the way, this road has many wonders of nature. James was our guide and was very knowledgeable of the history of the region and its geography. He was spot on with his recommendations for lunch. Extra crispy flake for the win! The road does have many switchbacks. If you have motion sickness, be prepared!!!

What an AMAZING day. The weather was beautiful, the guide was knowledgeable, and the scenery was breath taking. Our group spotted kangaroo and a koala holding on for dear life. We loved every moment from start to finish.
James was the best!

James our guide was nothing but the best! He not only showed us the great ocean road, he was also telling us about the environment and history around Australia, as well as adding commentary to the trip. Definitely enjoyed the day 💜

This was a great day tour! We had John as our tour guide and he was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and experienced. He had us all laughing and his banter was always very engaging. We had lots of interesting stops along the way and the final stop at the Twelve Apostles was amazing! Such a breathtaking sight! It was a busy day as it was Easter Saturday but we still managed to get excellent views of the Twelve Apostles. It is a long day but it goes very quickly with all the interesting sights along the way. I highly recommend this day trip especially if you’re lucky enough to get John as your guide.

A memorable trip to Australia’s Great Ocean Road. We saw koalas in the wild and stopped at a local grocery store. We were impressed with the quality of the driver and his narration. We did however see no kangaroos.
