Overview

Our small group (8 guests max) will depart Melbourne and head straight to the famous 12 Apostles before the masses of people arrive. Here we will take a 1km stroll along the boardwalk while appreciating the stunning views of the limestone stacks before continuing onto Gibson Steps. We walk down the 70m cliffside pathway to the beach where there is plenty of time to take some incredible photos. Next it’s time for a delicious lunch at our favourite local cafe before we’ll drive through the magical Great Otway National Park and take a short hike through ancient rainforests to one of the Otways' pristine waterfalls (where the big bus companies can’t go). Our next stop we will take a stroll amongst the giants of the forest at the Californian Redwoods before continuing along the iconic Great Ocean Road stopping at Apollo Bay for an optional ice cream. Kennett River is next where you’ll get the chance to spot native koalas, king parrots & kangaroos going about their routines.

Our tour guide Andrew did an outstanding job providing an insight into this interesting country. His running commentary made a long day all the more interesting. We had a great time. Thank you, Andrew.

The BEST great ocean road tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Im so glad i booked my tour with Joel fr Hike & Seek. Our tour guide (Angie) is excellent and so well informed about the various places we pass by / visited. Always so friendly and full of energy. . There was only 2 of us in the tour (me, travelling solo) so as another girl from the US. And that makes it perfect as it makes the whole experience rather intimate and flexible. We started our journey the reverse way - a long drive to Port Campbell to see the Twelve Apostles first in the morning and then worked our way back to Melbourne stopping by Apollo Bay, a short 'hike' in the Otways forest and i specifically requested to stop by Lorne (which was not part of the itenerary). But because we're in a small group, of course Angie would be happy to stop by Lorne so i can check out the stunning beaches, cafes and cute restaurants. . Im glad i took this tour and highly recommended it. The correspondence between me and Joel and his team the minute i sign up has been clear and very responsive. Thanks Joel!

Great Experience!!

Published on Jan, 2025

wow - what an amazing day. went solo and we had such a great group, led by the incredible Mark and Dino. Mark was engaging from the moment he picked us up, and was our fearless leader through a gorgeous day with a packed schedule. highly recommend for someone looking to hit a bunch of beautiful sights outside of Melbourne in one day with a fabulous guide. 10/10 recommend!!

Excellent guide! Great...

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent guide! Great sense of humour, amazing at banter, knew lots of facts about Australian history and also facts about the different Australian animals! The guide was also kind and caring, he ensured that we were safe during our stop by the road to see wild koalas and kangaroos! Overall the tour was well organised, the stops didn't feel too rushed and the guide was excellent!

A Special Great Ocean Road

Published on Jan, 2025

Very nice! Heading to attractions that other travel tours wont go (especially love the little hike in the Otways). Also the Gibson Steps and Apollo Bay is nice, love our tour guide Andrew who brings us along the way with his nice driving all across.
