    It was great trip. We got to see both kangaroos and koala bears in their natural habitat. Our host Fio was very thorough giving us info throughout the tour. Long day but well worth it.

    We did not do the forest walk, nor did we see the Koalas and the tea that was included had to be paid for by us. The bus driver was just that - a bus driver. Neither he nor his second in command could be called a tour guide, not by any stretch of the imagination. I give this 1 start beacuse there wasn't a "no stars" option. Avoid this one!!!!

    The tour was excellent! Warren was very knowledgeable of the area and of all the questions about marsupials we asked! All in all a well thought out tour. Would highly recommend.

    Great trip and value for our money. Loved the Koala Bear and baby we saw. Very well organized and Warren was very knowledgable and fun. The views at the Loch and Gorge were spectacular.

  • A delightful day. The rain, the sun and the gusty wind reminded us what a beautiful blessing from nature.

    This was an interesting trip, with the ocean vistas, the famous 12 Apostles, a rain forest walk, and more. Our tour guide, Theo, was very good, lots of information, attentive to our needs. Just remember that this tour involves a lot of driving due to the distances.

  • Disappointing trip

    We did not receive the mentioned morning coffee, did not stop for koalas viewing and the forest walk that was promised on the booking site was not offered. My visitors have travelled from abroad, so that was disappointing. It is a long day so expectations should be met. No reason given for missed activity. Great Ocean Road is a great tour if expectations are met.
