Was a good small group of 8 ppl van, we only end up 7 of us. That is reason i book this trip, snall group & Mark very good in telling us detail of place & everywhere we past by🤗& fun. He is full of knowledge 😲🙂 Our 🤩😘highlight was waterfall & beautiful forest. Get ready for few big step down & up again from the waterfall. Bring your heart rate up up u go 😁& fun🤪. Our dislike was is long long drive in van, like almore half day in van to place. No good for me i have badly travel sickness. Coming back down was very rough road😬😰& fast. For lunch the place is very beautiful area, lots of pity colourful birds around to take photo but the food was just over price 😱not worrh it. Main meal is size of starter🫣. For me this trip is more like sightseeing & long van ride. My experience with my kids. Happy travelling everyones🤗

This was my first sihhtseeing tour in Australia. It was otherwise amazing experience, but the visiting times was quite short at each place. At the van or mini bus, I didn’t hear all the talk, hence I was cornerd. And the accent was difficult some times.

Wow, what an insanely perfect day visiting the great ocean road with Mark from Hike & Seek. When researching tours, I knew I didn’t want a big bus group and Hike & Seek was the perfect small group in a nice 8-person max tour group. Mark had so many great stories and historical knowledge. We learned so much and had a great time with him & Dino! We also saw so many wild koalas and mobs of kangaroos which was a major highlight for us! If you have time to spend a day on the great ocean road, book with Hike & Seek. The way they format their tour misses the big tour bus crowds so you have a more personalized and calm experience.

The 12 Apostles, Otways, and Great Ocean Road day tour from Melbourne is a breathtaking journey through some of Australia's most iconic landscapes. From the bustling city streets of Melbourne, you'll embark on a scenic drive along the rugged coastline of the Great Ocean Road, one of the world's most scenic coastal drives. The highlight of the tour is undoubtedly the 12 Apostles, a collection of limestone stacks rising majestically from the Southern Ocean. These stunning rock formations are a testament to the power of nature and offer breathtaking photo opportunities at every turn. In addition to the 12 Apostles, the tour also takes you through the lush rainforests of the Otway Ranges, where you can marvel at towering ferns, ancient trees, and cascading waterfalls. It's a peaceful retreat into nature's embrace, offering a welcome contrast to the dramatic coastal scenery. Throughout the journey, our knowledgeable guides Mark and Dino provide fascinating insights into the history, geology, and ecology of the region, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, photography buff, or simply looking for a memorable day trip from Melbourne, the 12 Apostles, Otways, and Great Ocean Road tour offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and adventure.
