    The day was wonderful - from the welcoming driver: Marty: to all aspects of the tour. Marty shared interesting and informative commentary during the trip. He also provided very clear instructions for access and egress at all destinations. He remained close by at all venues to assist with questions from the group. The small group enabled people to meet with each other extending camaraderie. All personnel within each venue were friendly and helpful. A highly recommended experience.

    Loved the whole experience. The staff and facilities are awesome, reasonably priced souvenirs and the penguin experience very special indeed. I particularly liked the walk along the boardwalk which gave you very close views of the penguins heading home. Beautiful also watching the sunset before putting the camera away and just enjoying the night.

    An Unforgettable Great Ocean Road Experience The Great Ocean Road is an extraordinary journey that truly deserves its reputation as one of the world’s most spectacular coastal drives. Every stop along the route offers a distinct and memorable experience. Lorne captivates with its relaxed seaside charm and pristine waters, while the Cumberland River Lookout presents a stunning panorama where the river meets the vast ocean. Apollo Bay is serene and picturesque, evoking the beauty of a perfect coastal postcard. Along Barham River Road, encountering koalas in their natural habitat adds a rare and delightful highlight to the day. The iconic Twelve Apostles stand in breathtaking grandeur, and the dramatic formations at Loch Ard Gorge and London Arch showcase the raw beauty and power of nature. The entire journey is seamlessly organised, with a well-paced itinerary and exceptionally comfortable transport. Our sincere thanks to Mr John Paul, who was both a knowledgeable and attentive guide as well as a skilled driver. His insights and professionalism greatly enriched our experience. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment, capturing countless beautiful photos and creating lasting memories of our time in Melbourne, Australia. From Huong Do Thi Thu, May 1st 2026.

    The trip itself was great. Very scenic, many stops to take photos and walk around, friendly driver. The prep to get on the bus was a bit of a headache as the company sent us the incorrect pickup location, time, bus number, and driver name so getting on the bus in the morning was a headache.
