Unfortunately the cruise line took 1 hour to let us off the ship. We were hoping to see the 12 apostles but guide said no time. Activity was billed as arranging to see what we wanted in the 8 hours but was more of a preset program. Liked what we saw but could have been more.
Dear Carrie. Thank you for your feedback and for travelling with us. We completely understand that seeing the 12 Apostles is high on many travellers’ wish lists — they truly are one of Australia’s most iconic sights. However, our Great Ocean Road in 8 Hours – Express Private Tour does not include the 12 Apostles. It is simply not possible to travel all the way to the Apostles and back within 8 hours, especially from a cruise ship schedule. That’s why we clearly describe this experience as an Express Tour — it focuses on the most scenic coastal sections closer to Melbourne. For guests visiting the 12 Apostles, we offer a separate full-day option: Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Private Tour, which takes approximately 12 hours and provides enough time to reach the region comfortably without rushing. We’re also sorry to hear that cruise disembarkation delays reduced your available touring time. Unfortunately, that is outside of our control, but we always do our best to maximise what can realistically be seen within the time remaining. We’re glad you enjoyed the sights you did experience, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. If you return to Victoria in the future, we would love to welcome you back on the full 12 Apostles tour so you can experience that spectacular coastline as well.
