Just do it. - Well organized tour with very friendly tour guides. The sight with the 12 apostles and the beautiful drive through the Great Ocean Road make it. We were also lucky enough to admire a very active koala.

Great experience! Ticked off from my bucket - I booked the tour for my cousins & I. We had such an amazing, wholesome experience! We’ve been wanting to do this trip for so long & we finally crossed it off our bucket list. We also chose to do the scenic helicopter ride once we reached the 12 apostles. Thank you to our great tour guide Bill! Definitely recommend this trip!

Craig and Barry bus great - Craig and Barry bus was great. Laura did good work as well. It's a long day on the road but the apostles are very cool and lots of neat scenery and walking hiking. If you don't want to drive-this is a great way to go.

Great Time! - Anthony our guide was great. Tour was excellent - weather was a bit flaky but luckily rain held off for the most part. I’ve seen plenty of pictures of the 12 Apostles but it’s awesome to see the real thing. Would recommend!

Awe Inspiring, Breath Taking Scenery - The Great Ocean Drive is so spectacular! It takes one breath away. The sea, sky, lush greenery (where one could spot a koala, kangaroo, Laughing kookaburras), and awe inspiring rock formations.
