What To Expect
Port Campbell National Park
Take in the amazing Lime Stone cliff face at the 12 Apostles National Park
Twelve Apostles Marine National Park
The Twelve Apostles were formed by erosion. The harsh and extreme weather conditions from the Southern Ocean gradually erode the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, which then become arches that eventually collapse, leaving rock stacks up to 50 m

5.00Overall an excellent experience. Pickup was right on time and the host had just the right balance. He paid attention to the details and the itinerary without being too much. He was humble, responsive, and really passionate about showing the best of the local culture. I was a bit worried about the long drive since I tend to get claustrophobic, but with just seven people in the group it felt surprisingly comfortable. I actually enjoyed the whole trip from start to finish. Really glad I chose this tour.
Great day out with Cam!

5.00I'm extremely satisfied with our tour today! The itinerary was very well-planned, allowing us to see the best scenery. The guide continuously provided emotional support during the tour and even took the initiative to help us take photos. He also brought us to spot koalas and a group of kangaroos! It was an unexpectedly wonderful experience. I will definitely share this trip with my friends!

5.00I had the most incredible experience exploring the stunning Great Ocean Road. This tour was definitely the highlight of my time in Australia. Mark, our driver and tour guide, was absolutely brilliant. He kept us entertained the entire day with his funny insights and stories. What made it even more special were the little extras—Mark brought us to some amazing spots where we could see wild koalas and kangaroos, which was such a treat! The route design is very reasonable, with sufficient time allocated for stops for toilets, food, and sightseeing. It didn’t feel rushed or overly tiring, which made the day even more enjoyable. The day is long, but every moment is worth it. We stopped at so many breathtaking locations, and the scenery was simply unforgettable. To top it off, it was my friend's birthday, and Mark surprised us by bringing a cake—such a thoughtful touch! This is a tour I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Australia. Thank you, Mark, for making it such a memorable experience!
Super nice driver/guide Mark! Happy tour!

4.00Its a must-do trip when visiting Melbourne for sure, but its quite a long drive and this tour removes that hassle of driving and allows you to enjoy the beautiful views of the coastal drive through the Great Ocean drive. Our tour guide was really cheerful and showed us wild kangaroos, koalas, and stingrays. Really enjoyed the tour and I feel the package is worth the price.
The experience is more than great

5.00In general, the experience is great. First of all, the guide is professional, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. And he is so great at finding koalas and other unique creatures. No one else in the group has his vision. Secondly, the view is more than fantastic. The Gibson Step Beach, the Twelve Apostles, Apollo Bay and loads of other attractions are so beautiful. I was totally speechless when I saw the ocean and the cliff. They’re just marvelous. Thirdly, looking for koalas is a really challenging task but the guide makes it so easy as he continued telling us and pointing where they were. And he provided us a good camera so we could zoom in and took lovely pictures of them. The kangaroos were cute as well. We saw one with her babies eating grass on a golf field with tens of other kangaroos. The scene so quiet and peaceful. Last but not least, we had got a great afternoon tea as well. He’s elegant and patient when asking us what kind of tea or coffee we wanted and served us a great meal. By the way, with his high driving skills, the commuting is smooth and the minivan is comfy. I totally recommend this tour. Please do not hesitate to reach them for more information.
