If I could rate this excursion a 10 I would!!! The scenery was fantastic. Our guide, Rain, was amazing. So entertaining and knowledgeable of the area and all the local hotspots with the best views. Our objective for the day was the 12 apostles. We saw so much more and still made it back to our ship with time to spare. We loved every second of the trip. Thank you Rain! You are amazing!
