Booked through Viator, a company I trust, this was a thoroughly enjoyable tour to see the 12 Apostles, (7 actually) and a drive back on the Old Ocean road, a road which is 134 kms long, built by veterans of World war 1, by hand. But first the trip. The pick up says opposite the Immigration museum. It is actually on the road by the side of the museum. I nearly missed the bus because of this. So the driver cum guide who goes by the name of James aka Wheels and his asst Mannan. Both excellent knowledgable and full of stories which make the journey more interesting. The trip. The first stop is just a toilet and breakfast stop (tea coffee and muffins) next to a river, while heading to the 12 Apostles. A sight to see and remember. We had a cold cloudy day but even that could not daunt the spectacle of nature. This alone makes the trip fulfilling. But definitely needed at least 45 more minutes here to soak up the energy and to go down to the beach. The second stop after getting sandwiches for lunch was at a rain forest. Strictly avoidable. The Hold coast had a much better rain forest on Mount Tambourlin. The beauty of the drive now unfolded as James drove us through the long coastal road. Simply beautiful and covered today by mist. He stooped to show us Koala bears and also finally saw a mob of Kangaroos. Fascinating. Interesting small towns all over the drive. Take this tour and hope your guide is as interesting as Wheels. But please give people more time at the Apostles
Gorgeous coastline

I had a flight cancellation so this was the perfect way to spend an extra day in Melbourne. Our tour guide Craig was very personable and made the day cruise by seamlessly. His knowledge of the coastal history, native plants, animal species, and general knowledge of his country made for some interesting learning. The tour covered approximately 350 miles of driving but the beauty of the scenery made time fly. There were plenty of stops along the way to see the beauty of the coastline and the bus was very comfortable so you won’t feel like you’ve been cramped up for all those miles. Craigs driving was exceptional and I’d highly recommend this trip for a nice day out along the beautiful Great Ocean Road.
