Mike made an excellent day in what were difficult circumstances, as a major portion of the coastal road was closed due to flooding. We enjoyed and endured some spirited mountain road driving to see nearly everything that was promised.

Nothing short of fantastic! Got picked up right on time outside my hotel, plenty of space inside the van for myself and my legs! The great ocean road was breathtaking, even in its “mundane” drives between stops. I never stopped looking out the window. Driver was attentive, friendly, and frankly one of the best drivers I’ve seen, especially with tricky roads in a large van. Extra kudos!

Excellent trip , great minibus with snacks. Sights and wildlife amazing . Reverse trip is the way to go - plus ice cream parlour at the end . Hotel pick up only ( not drop off at end ) .

The sights were amazing, but lots of driving. There were ppl in the van that were feeling car sick (and took tablets offered ny driver/guide and also the sick bag) so maybe put a note in the description that it is a curvy drive for quite a bit of the journey!

First time solo trip, felt overwhelmed at first but my trip guide- MIKE, made me comfortable. Had the opportunity to know more about the history of these places. Great job by Mike.

Although a 12 hour trip it went quickly and was planned to perfection. Full family had a great time. I personally loved seeing the wildlife in their natural habitats and the costal views are just stunning.

The journey was very full. Because of the distance and the many small attractions. So it has to be early in the morning, and the short stay in each place. Understandable. The driver and tour guide is very nice and efficient. Pick me up at 6:30 a.m. and pick up the others. Picking up all the men left for the Great Ocean Road at about 7:10. Tired is a little tired, but it's a good way to hang out with everything.

It was a bit rushed- including only 40 mins for lunch - so you had to walk to your venue. Pick your lunch, wait for it to be cooked, eat it and rush back (no time to browse the shops). The same when we visited a beach - 10 mins- so we didn’t have time to find the beach, never mind visit it!
