My wife and I really enjoyed this trip exploring the scenic Great Coast road. There we many stop offs of interest, and despite the very windy conditions we managed to grab some great pictures. Our guide, Melvin, was very knowledgeable of the whole area and provided us with lots of information and historical facts. A long day but worth it

It was a 12 hour day. Our tour guide provided little in the way of information. It was a silent tour

Experience was very bad. Although traveling van mentioned was Mercedes. But it was so old and badly maintained that during the journey it was shaking and made all the travelers feel dizzy. Also visit to rain forest was missed.

Peter our guide was faultless. Knowledgeable and a great story teller. He even ensured great weather. His timing was impeccable. Clearly he loves his job and it showed.

Amazing day having Peter as our guide. Originally we considered hiring a car and doing this ourselves. However this was a much better idea. Anyone thinking of doing this, book it. You won’t be disappointed

Don’t waste your time with a large group and the standard front to back route where you end up at the 12 Apostles at the end of the day. Instead book this excursion with fewer than 12 people and enjoy the stops with no crowds. I am from California and I greatly enjoyed meeting my fellow travers from Australia, Canada, England and Czech Republic. Great guide who served as our driver attentive to all our needs. Van was fast, clean and comfortable. Food stops were local small businesses with high quality service and delicious morsels. Yes - we saw interesting scenery, enjoyed clean air and nature as advertised including koalas and kangaroos. Highly recommend this trip which is better than the competition. Not all of these tours are the same. Do your research. Thanks
