Intese experience of the Australian landscape and animals

A very intense trip from the ocean to the rocks of the Grampians. Enjoyed a lot the night arrival in the park and the view is several kangaroos at night.

This was a great trip made very entertaining by our guide who also very accommodating and helped change our accommodation very last minute! It’s an amazing trip along great ocean rd but the Grampians was a big bonus!

Our guide is professional and the scenes are terrific. First day’s schedule is a bit rush but can visit most of the spots. Second day’s morning hike is remarkable. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing time with family

They are very accomodating in picking us up in Geelong area as special request. Even in the events of oversighted to pick us up in Geelong, they quickly arranged an Uber to pick us up to join the rest of them at Anglesea. The rest of the trip was great, easy and friendly driver to show us the beauty Great Ocean Road and Grampians have to offer.

Great tour and excellent guide

Great tour with an excellent guide, Tara, who knew a lot about history, the scenery, nature and wildlife. And were able to find and show us both koalas and kangaroos (she knew some secret spots to find them😛). No matter what question you asked here (relevant for the tour), she were able to answer them. And were keen to doing so. Go for this 2 days adventure - and can you get Tara as guide, you’re lucky!!

Summary

The guide was excellent. The information prior the trip was lacking in detail. We were never informed about sharing room with 4 others. The first day was too long, more than 14 hours. Such a trip would require a modern bus with more comfort.

Operator response

Hi there, and thank you for taking the time to write us a review! The Great Ocean Road is a long one and for the travellers with time in their hand, we do offer the 3 day tour option, which stays first night along the Great Ocean Road in Warrnambool. All the multi day tours include dormitory accommodation, but you can upgrade to hostel or motel private room (due to availability) if you'd like more privacy. Thank you for your feedback, we will take it on board! We hope you enjoy your travels in Australia!
