- Fantastic day on the Great Ocean Road with our driver Nate. He provided lots of information on various locations throughout the day on the intercom and was available to answer any questions while we were stopped. We loved all the stops. The recommendations for food at Apollo Bay were excellent.Cormac Harraghy4/07/2023
- Yesterday I came back from the Great Ocean Road + Grampians tour. The tourguide, Tim, was amazing: even the music was thought through. He had lots of stories to tell. A very caring and fun man. Further... The hostel was nice. Breakfast was above expectations. The sights were great. Overall a very very good experience. Recommend to everyone!Evy van Weelden1/23/2021
- Fantastic trip Very satisfied with this trip. Stopped at some beautiful sites along the way on great ocean road. Lovely walks around the grampians national park and stunning view points. Our guide (tara) was just great she made everything very clear and tells some interesting stories about the sites we are visiting and passing. Would highly recommendLance I3/12/2020
- It worth it even if it is raining! The Twelve Apostles, plus the Great Ocean Road, is a must-see for anyone visiting Melbourne. It worths the day spent on it, even if the weather is not great. I recommend this tour of the Wildlife Tours Australia: positive benefit-cost ratio and the guide (Alan) was careful and shared the right amount of information.dfucs10/21/2019
- A great day out! We really enjoyed our Great Ocean Road Reverse Tour with Wildlife Tours Australia. Our tour guide Lewis was great - shared so much about Australia’s history, environment, people and above all wildlife. We saw three koalas up at the Kennett River and the Great Ocean Road views were amazing. Highly recommend!Deborah BB8/11/2019
- Great way to visit the Great Ocean Road Had an amazing day visiting the Great Ocean Road with a small group. Visited beautiful places, and learned a lot thanks to our tour guide Lewis! Liked the fact that it was reversed because we avoided big crowds, and the drive back home was short. Would definitely recommend!Gunnvor B.5/06/2019
- Great Ocean Road 1 Day Tour My two friends and I did the one day tour of the Great Ocean Road with Tim as our guide. He was awesome! We loved his music playlist on the bus - made the trip much more enjoyable! We stopped at beautiful places and got to see wild koalas and parrots. Definitely recommend this tour!Catherine V4/24/2019
- Great tour We saw some fabulous country in our 2 day/1 night tour of the Great Ocean Road and Grampians.

Thank you Wildlife Tours for making my day so amazing 🙂Melanie12/02/2017

Our tour guide Dave is very knowledgeable and very passionate about ensuring everyone will have a good experience. The Great Ocean Road scenic drive was beautiful. 12 Apostle was amazing. This tour definitely delivers. Seen kangaroo and koalas. Accommodation at Neds Bed is very good. Highly recommended.Quynh N9/25/2017
- La meilleure manière d'explorer le Great Ocean Road La réservation (approx $100Cad) inclus la cueillette à notre hôtel ainsi que le retour sur place, et une visite d'une partie du Great Ocean Road (le Otway National Park) sur une distance de 550km aller-retour. Visite incontournable des 12 Sisters, une journée bien remplie.Leplateau3/07/2017
- Awesome Fantastic tour foing directly to 12 apostles and coming back by great ocean road. The tour started at 7am and finished at 9pm, it was long but even though I was not feeling tired because the guide was really really good (STEVE), the food was good also (pizza by the dinner), all the stops had interesting things to do, I reccomend!Cris Favalli3/07/2017
- I had a really great time. I did the 3 days Great Ocean Road and Grampians tour. It was fun to experience the nature with a group of fellow travelers. And the driver made a huge difference. Darren is very knowledgable and fun to hang around with. He cooked for us and stayed with us overnights at the hostels.Lutz Büch1/23/2017
- 墨爾本至阿得萊德兩天團 我參加的是墨爾本至阿得萊德兩天團, 行程包括大洋路的各個景點、在Grampians National Park bush walk、在Halls Gap看野生袋鼠等, 是超贊的兩天團!!! 我的司機導遊是Henning, 人超友善及健談, 年資及知識亦很豐富, 沿途不停提供我們經過的地方資訊, 除此之外, 他對aboriginal的文化亦十分了解, 為我們講解了很多關於aboriginal的文化。他也很細心, 會照顧到團中每一位團友。每去到景點前, 他都會提示我們遊覽的最佳路線, 亦會親自下車帶領我們遊覽, 還提示我們那個是最位拍照位置呢!!!!我強烈推薦這個團, 猶其是熱愛大自然的朋友, 有很多機會讓你接觸到野生動物及大自然!這個團可能對某些人來說會有點累, 因為第一天一早6點多就出發 (視乎你的pick up點在哪裏), 到晚上10點才到旅舍 (視乎路面情況), 第二天日出前(約5點)就要起床, 否則你不會看到野生kangaroo, 然後就會去grampians national park bush walk, 需要體力勞動。我本身有一定的運動量及平常也會去爬山, 所以我感覺還OK, 只是睡得比較少囉~ 但你可以在車上睡, 不過這樣就會錯過很多導遊的精彩講解哦!bigheadballball12/31/2016
- Long day but worth it! Booked two tours with this company. Great Ocean Road and Rainforest Tour was definitely worth it. Tours are on a minibus so small groups and much better than large coaches. Had an excellent guide, Daniel F who was informative, friendly and helpful. Picked up and dropped back near to hotel.100Shelly8/07/2016
- Great Ocean Road Tour?? FABULOUS!!! Great Ocean Road Tour -- Reverse... Breath taking views of The South Australia coastline. London Bridge, 12 Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, Surf beach at Apollo Bay, a rainforest with very unique trees, and a chance to see wild koalas!! A Fabulous day on the road with tour guide, Kelly... Thank you!! Great solo, as couples, families, or friends!ColClayton5/22/2016

I totally recommend!!Francielle D1/21/2016
- Great Ocean Road day trip Went on the Great Ocean Road trip with Darren and had a fantastic time.

Thank you for a wonderful day Darren!Brittney F1/17/2016
- Eleven out of ten for this trip. Absolutely superb trip on The Great Ocean Road. Rob L was the best tour guide I have EVER met. Wealth of knowledge was immense.

- Great Ocean Road I went on the great ocean road 1 day tour, and the tour guide for that day was Mr. Tim.

I had a great day, thanks to Tim.Lavanya_r200010/30/2015
- Amazing Tour Me and my friend did the 2 day Great Ocean Road and Grampians tour. It was incredible, we had a really good and careble guide.

Before visiting Melbourne, all my friends back home said I had to see the Great Ocean Road. As an avid hiker, I knew I wanted to check out the highly lauded Grampians National Park and get a feel for local wildlife, so finding the Wildlife Melbourne Tours Australia 2-day tour combining the two felt like it was designed with me in mind. As my visit coincided with the rainy late-winter season, I knew the chances were high that my trip would be cloudy and wet (and sure enough, it was), but I also knew getting at least a peak of these places would be better than nothing.
The morning of the first day arrived bright and early, and I dutifully loaded myself onto the nearly-full bus. Incredibly, no one had claimed the passenger seat at the front of the bus, and I leaped at the opportunity. Seriously people, if you get the chance, take it! The views are expansive out the front window! And off we went from the city.
While Melbourne had been drizzly and grey, the bright jewel tones of the ocean seemed to repel the clouds, and it nearly glowed from within. Despite the low surf that morning, our morning stop found determined surfers, and the swells offered up a good show while we sipped tea and nibbled on biscuits. Back on the bus, we hugged the coast as our delightfully enthusiastic tour guide, Fraser, fed us facts on local wildlife and the history of the area.
Near mid-day, we stopped to track down glimpses of wild koalas which hide amongst the highest eucalyptus branches. These sleepy fuzz balls were hard to spot but gathered clumps of tourists at the base of a tree offered sure-fire ways to locate a few, and the area offered entertaining photos with particularly bold parrots and cockatoos.
Lunchtime was free in a town boasting some of the best gelatos. While the award-winning lemon custard flavor was the obvious choice for a full scoop, one shouldn’t resist trying the Vegemite flavor. Don’t worry. It doesn’t taste much more than a very salty caramel, but afterward, you can impress your friends with your daring palate.
Following a very wet but awe-inspiring jaunt in a tree-fern-filled valley (sadly, no carnivorous snails were spotted), we pushed on to the Twelve Apostles. This iconic spot prompted plenty of involuntary “whoa”s and “wow”s from each onlooker as the sapphire blue and sparkling white water pummeled the golden sandstone pillars, and the wind whipped the waves into a frenzy. But to be honest, the hordes of fellow tourists and the nearly Deja Vu – inducing effect of such a heavily photographed location made the stop a little lacklustre. The true highlights of the day were the next two stops and the final two of our GOR (Great Ocean Road) tour. First, stopping at the shipwreck beach with enough time to walk out along the point above and stand at the wave’s edge below, preceded by Fraser’s re-telling of the shipwreck story itself, was a transporting experience as you reflected on those lost in that fateful storm. The second and most spectacular was the Bay of Martyrs. We saw larger and equally beautiful sandstone formations pummeled by the waves but with the perfect timing of sunset and the priceless luxury of a deserted beach.
As the day drew to a close, we stopped into a small town to purchase dinner from one of a few restaurants. Then it was back on the bus to go the rest of the way to Hall’s Gap in Grampians National Park. Darkness had fallen by this point, and eyes were either inspecting the backs of eyelids or trained on the road, searching for any kangaroos straying too close.
Morning dawned with the sun wrapped in a thick blanket of rain clouds, and everyone chatted amiably over breakfast. Bags loaded back into the trailer, and we set off for another day. Nearby, we made our first stop at a small field, which hosted a large mob of kangaroos (yes, that is the collective noun for them). Sure enough, we rounded the bend to find dozens of kangaroos hopping on all fours in that inch-worm way of theirs, quietly grazing on the grass. Upon closer inspection, we spotted joeys with their heads and arms dangling out of pouches, trying to imitate mom as they reached tentatively toward the grass below.
Moving onward and upward, we climbed our way into the clouds. Our stops were sparing in their views of the valleys but walking through the eucalyptus with rock ledges dropping away to bottomless depths, and tree branches stretching out of sight lent a magical air to the day. The low, grey ceiling and steady drizzle afforded our quick walk through the Grand Canyon of the Grampians a certain Mordor-Esque atmosphere, and MacKenzie falls could only benefit from the extra water. To be honest, as we rode the bus back down through the low-lying clouds, I felt a bit grateful for the weather. As a hiker prone to sometimes choose brutal treks for a single view, the necessity to bypass some of the more iconic-yet-strenuous treks may have left me a bit disappointed to have come so close and yet remained so far from some of the more expansive viewpoints of the park. But with the presence of the cool rain, the short hikes with new friends and leaps back into the warm truck were welcome and even a bit cozy.
At the end of the long, steady drive back east, as Frank Sinatra’s “I Did it My Way” blasted through the speakers and the city suddenly spread out in front of us, I couldn’t imagine a better way to experience two iconic regions of Victoria.
Thank you to Wildlife Tours Australia for putting together this tour option, and thank you to Fraser, our awesomely energetic, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide.

Ash was the perfect guide to our 2-day tour of The Great Ocean Road in February 2019. He was knowledgeable, friendly and good fun. He knew where the best places were to see the koalas and kangaroos and we saw them! The road trip itself was amazing! Looking over the beautiful turquoise ocean from the coach, seeing the waves crashing over the rocks was and rolling onto the sandy shores was truly wonderful. The Mackenzie Falls were a sight to behold too although the steps on the way back up to the coach tested our stamina! The whole two days were wonderful and we would strongly recommend this tour. Thank you Ash for a great time.
What a wonderful two days with Wildlife Tours. Highly recommend this Grampians 2 day tour with the great ocean road. Thank you.
We were lucky to book the trip with Wildlife Tours led by Darren – very intelligent, knowledgeable and very organized guide. We were like 16 people 2 days tour from Melbourne to Adelaide – felt it was good to cover all without rush.One night you stay in hostel which was clean but you share with 3 or 5 more people. I would definitely recommend this trip. Bayan & Thor
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip from Melbourne around the Great Ocean Road and through the Grampians. Our driver and tour guide Kelly was very informative and helpful and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting. Peter & Brenda
I did the two day Great Ocean Road and Grampians tour on a friend’s recommendation and I’m so glad I did! Our tour guide (Henning) was FANTASTIC – really knowledgable as well as friendly and personable. Each stop on the tour was beautiful and well worth the time – the views were incredible and even got to see some wild roos!
I did the two day tour, first day you see all the highlights of the Great Ocean Road and the second you visit the Grampians. We had an amazing hike there, which included climbing up on our hands and knees and crawling through a cave. And the view was so worth the climb. The tour guides who work for Wildlife are really good as well. They’ll tell you background stories/ history of the places you’ll visit, which gives everything a bigger meaning. You don’t know that extra information, if you do the Great Ocean Road or the Grampians by yourself.
On a crisp and beautiful Thursday morning we headed towards the Great Ocean Road and Grampians 2 day tour with Wildlife. Our tour guide David wasn’t only a walking encyclopedia with a humorous twist, but also a master of time. The amount of places, views and wildlife we saw, and the stories we heard was incredible. There was no feeling of rush and we managed to miss the crowds each time! In addition to Great Ocean Road, we visited the astonishing Otway’s rainforest, watched the sunrise in the Grampians, saw koalas, kengurus and cookabarras in their natural habitat, enjoyed the vibe of cute little beach towns and even went for a wine tasting on our way back. I wholeheartedly recommend this adventure!
I went on the 2 day Great Ocean Road and Grampians Tour with Wildlife Tours Australia and absolutely loved it. The tour guide, Kelly, was the best tour guide I’ve ever had – he was personable, incredibly informative, and kept us on a great schedule to maximize the amount of things our group got to see. Our group had 18 people in it and everyone had a fun time. I highly recommend this tour!
Hi! I was on the 2-day trip with Tim to Great Ocean Road and Grampians.
I stayed at the Grampians Motel and it was GREAT… very clean, nicely appointed and had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable.
I also want to apologize to Tim for rushing off without thanking him and saying goodbye. He was a terrific guide… very knowledgeable and concerned for our comfort. I LOVED how he used music to introduce a new story or area of interest. He learned our names and nationalities quickly and truly set a tone of congeniality. He also helped me with a couple technology issues with my phone, for which I am VERY grateful!
I thoroughly enjoyed the trip
Highly recommended!! It was such a great weekend on the Great ocean road and the Grampians. Our tour guide Craig was so knowledgeable, he knew everything and tried to show us as much as possible!! We were just 8 people so very lucky… The accommodation for the night was very good, clean and comfortable. I also got picked up and dropped of near my hostel, so don’t worry about it. This weekend couldn’t have been better!
This tour was fantastic. I had Tim as my guide, and he made the entire experience unforgettable with his stories about each location as well as his wonderful song choices!
