A must-do! - This is a must-do tour, it's very different than the Great Ocean Road Tour. It's an active tour, starting with a picturesque hike through a forest to an ocean view. There is a walk along a tidal river to another lovely viewpoint, then a walk on Squeaky Beach and a tour of a Wildlife Park to look for kangaroos and emus and wombats. This is the second oldest national park in the world, and is beloved by Melburnians. Ryan was a wonderful tour guide, looking after everyone and making sure to get to know everyone throughout the day. He really likes people, and was cheerful the entire 15 hour day. He helped make the day really fun.

The most beautiful forests and beaches in the world - If you enjoy challenging hikes in a small group and want to see the most beautiful forests and beaches in the world, then this is THE tour for you. Our guide – I think her name was Gwinda – isn’t just a brilliant bus driver but also a real expert on geology. Thanks a million, it was a wonderful tour.

Great way to see Melbourne as a solo traveler - I booked this trip as a solo traveler and I'm so happy I went. The tour guide was super friendly, had great music for the drive there and back, and made sure everyone felt included. Everyone on the hike was delightful, and the views were amazing. Highly recommend Hike and Seek!

Well worth while - Andrew our guide was sooo lovely and low key throughout. Our day was full visitig the dunes, walking Mount Bishop, exploring Squeaky Beach and seeing so many animals on the wild life walk. Very worthwhile visiting Wilsons Promintory.

I had a great time on the... - I had a great time on the Wilson’s Promontory tour. The hike offered beautiful views, and Squeaky Beach was a fun stop—it's true, the sand really does squeak! We even saw some wildlife, like kangaroos and ostriches! The small group made it easy to connect with others, and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the day even more enjoyable.

A compact way of hiking the Wilsons Promontory in ONE day! - Good mix of walking experiences including paranomic view of the promontory walking to the top of Mount Bishop, a coastal walk at Squeaky Beach and followed by a gentle walk in the wild life park. Marcus is nice and friendly telling us a lot of interesting stories!
