Great Ocean Road Reverse Itinerary Boutique Small Group Tour

Definitely Recommend!

Tour was great! Got to see some amazing sights and a bit of wildlife! Marty was our guide and he was awesome - super lovely, with great recommendations and lots of knowledge and stories to share! For the price you definitely get what you pay for!! Highly reccomend!

Perfect!

The views were smazing!! We took a helicopter to visit the spectacular Twelve Apostles, and also saw a kangaroo family and several wild koalas, which made us very excited. Our tour guide Wayne, he is very very friendly and provided detailed explanations. We really like him and give our favorite guide Wayne a five-star rating!!

Great tour absolutely recommend

Such an amazing tour with a great tour guide and so many diverse stops with chances to see anminals in the wild. There were no crowds and it made for a great day.

Highly recommend- the highlight of my holiday

A fantastic trip. We were so lucky with the weather- the scenery is really beautiful and the highlight of my time in Melbourne. It was great to have a small group and the minbus was very comfortable. Smart to get ahead of the crowds as well by starting at the 12 apostles- it never felt crowded or rushed, with easy photo opportunities. Chris was a fantastic guide who was very knowledgable and went above and beyond to give us the best trip. Would highly recommend!

Excellent Great Ocean Road Trip

So amazing! The guide was very friendly, explaining and driving well. The Great Ocean Road experience was unforgettable for me.

Great

Our guide Jai was amazing. He was so fun and kind, great time. Wish we got to spend a bit more time being on the beach. Otherwise, fantastic. Bring hiking shoes though, might get slightly muddy/sandy.

Amazing small-group tour!

I had an amazing day, with amazing sights, sceneries and experiences. Our tourguide Jai (or as he likes to call it: Friend for a day) was amazing. He is really funny and creates an amazing atmosphere the entire day, as well as catering to our every need. I really like that it is only a small group of people which makes it feel like a group even though you're traveling solo like me. A small bus also makes it possible to stop multiple times to look for kangaroos and Koala's in the wild, till we found them. We even found a koala that was very active, climbing and jumping in the tree which is really rare too see. Overall an amazing experience which I would highly recommend!

Great beach day escape from Melbourne

We really enjoyed all of the tour stops and that the reverse order allowed us to avoid the crowds. Jai was a wonderful guide. It was a great way to spend a day out of the city.

i would recommend! good way to do great ocean road

Jai was a great tour guide. very engaging and wanted to get to know everyone. i felt like everything was very well paced and Jai was very well informed about the area, especially where the good views were. We got some extra treats and surprises too which was a good addition!

Comfortable and informative. Great scenery

Great driver / tour guide. Good explanation. Comfortable. Timeliness. Clean coach. Highly Recommend. The reverse schedule id a good idea.

See it to believe just how breath-taking this coastline is!

Our guide Jay was amazing. He gave so much information & made the day fun. The venues visited were great & the views breath-taking. The helicopter flight was the icing on the cake. A must do experience. A great day. We'd highly recommend this day trip to others.

Wonderful experience

This is a well planned out and fantastic tour. The reverse itinerary and small group size made the tour were fantastic and our tour guide Peter made it absolutely wonderful! Peter was hilarious, kind and had so much knowledge about the places we visited, wildlife and about Melbourne in general. Highly recommend this!

Great ocean drive

Glenn was very knowledgeable,kind, funny. Very prompt and in control of the group. Took us to I think about 5 different places. Maybe more sorry. It was a long day. Very good driver. 12 hour days are long. Glenn is a champ! Anyway, we a wild kangaroo up front and a wild koala in the trees. I hear it can be really windy and cold in the winter so bring a jacket! Beautiful scenery and peaceful drive if that’s what you’re in for. Not a ton of walking which you can decide for yourself. Overall very cool trip.

Great full day Ocean Road trip

Full day trip taking in great scenery. Early start but didn't seem long before a coffee stop then on the way to the apostles. Good number of stops along the coastline to short easy walks to photo opportunities at lookouts. Negative -we were seated at back of mini bus so the ride could be jarring going over bumbs which is hard for a 12 hour trip. Driver Rio was informative, friendly and relaxed.

Highly recommended!

We managed to see everything and without the busses of tourist as its reverse itinerary. There were 11 of us and Chris was amazing! He was flexible and gave us sufficient time for all the places and even took our photos one by one. He explained everything about each places with the history. God bless him!

Amazing

Few times I've review something however it's been one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had, thanks Marty you're an amazing guide and your attitude made the trip much better. 👏

The best tour for the Great Ocean Road and wildlife sighting

Couldn't have asked for a better company to guide me and the others who did the reverse Great Ocean Road tour today. We had the best of guides, Peter, who did everything in his power for us to have a great time, feel safe, see all the sites and local wildlife and he even sprinkled some rainbows and sunshine throughout the cloudy days. The tour, as promised, avoided all crowds and we had most sites to ourselves at all times and that was simply amazing. I loved the fact that we had choices, discussed options and everyone's opinion was heard and Peter went for what people decided in terms of next destination or whether we skip one item for another. This tour should last at least 2 days to actually accommodate for all the amazing sites and locations on the way and not have to rush some parts at times because you spent a bit too long looking at a cute koala. I'd book this again and again if I have the chance to come back to Melbourne. It certainly left me with great memories

Great day trip from Melbourne!

Great day trip from Melbourne! Rio, our guide, was knowledgeable, informative and friendly. We got to a ton of destinations and saw wildlife along the way. Each destination was adequately timed giving enough time to explore while ensuring we continued to all other destinations timely.

Sam

Sam is a great tour guide! He knows his spots and he showed us koalas kangaroos and even a seal 🦭 Would recommend to join early and look out for Sam!

Highly recommended 😊😊

Sam was really nice, friendly and felt really comfortable throughout the trip. Would recommend to anyone who’s looking for a chill trip where you get to see major sites, even had little added stops to see wild kangaroos, koalas and chocolate factory. High recommended 😊

Fantastic tour

Had an amazing day tour especially with Chris as our tour guide. He walks with us and tells many stories along the way. Satiesfied with the whole trip

Lovely trip with a lovely guide, Jimmy!

Our guide , Jimmy Chan was entertaining , knowledgeable and engaging. He paced the trip really well. Despite the long trip, we did not fine it exhausting at all. He was patient explaining to us on the different stops that we had. We were very lucky as we saw kangaroos and koalas along the way.. Jimmy is truly a gem as he took the trouble to keep us enthusiastic throughout the trip.

12 Apostles Road Trip review

The whole trip was made memorable and fun all thanks to our tour guide, Jimmy Chan. He was very friendly and caring about our well-being’s. He also gave us a souvenir like a koala and it was a good way to remember the trip. It was also nice to see the apostles. Would recommend my friend to join this tour.

Best great ocean road trip ever！

We really have a great time with our friendly tour guide Jimmy! He was fantastic and humorous all the time. Always entertain us during the trip!

An itinerary worth checking out

Great tour experience. My 2 grown up sons and I joined this tour on June 4 and our guide was Rio. He was knowledgeable and shared a lot of information on the places we visited. He drove us around safely too. But we thought the rainforest tour might not be necessary so that the respective spots travelled to after lunch could be stretched longer. Just our thoughts.

An incredible day out

What an incredible day - Great Ocean Road reverse meant less crowds so it was a better experience. We packed so much in one day. The helicopter ride was only $175 and it's the best way to see the 12 Apostles. The icecream and chocolate stop at the end was great! Our guide Jay was amazing. He was funny, friendly and knowledgeable. Do the tour - you will have a great day!

Amazing Day

The day was amazing - we did so much in one day. Our guide Jay was friendly, kind and made the day enjoyable with his jokes and knowledge.Do this tour - you will have fun!

Engaging Great Ocean Road Day Trip

Great engaging tour guide kept us informed and entertained 🙏. Highly recommend for family as well as solo travelers. Thanks, Jay.

Great day on the great ocean road!

We had an awesome day with Jai! He went the extra mile all day long to give us a great experience. The small group experience made a long day feel more personal and fun and the itinerary was well thought out to include plenty of bathroom breaks, chances for food / drinks and plenty of time to take in the sites while covering a lot of ground. Would highly recommend!

An amazing day with my parents and Peter on the Great Ocean Road

If you’re lucky enough to get Peter as your tour guide then you should go buy the lottery. I (F,28) went on this with my elder parents and had an absolute blast for 13 hours! I learned so much and saw such incredible sights! Pete himself was amazing—pointing out wild koala and kangaroos—as well as telling us about the history of the place. It was an amazing day—I’m so happy!

Fantastic

Excellent trip and Peter was an excellent guide. Small group makes it more enjoyable, as it’s friendlier and faster as well.

Fun food sights and great memories

HD a wonderful day. Lots of laughs and knowledge about the area. Jai was an excellent guide who kept the energy up all day. Thank you Jai

Highly recommend this tour

Jai is a wonderful guide! In addition to 12 Apostles, we saw koalas & kangaroos! It was a great day. He pointed out the various points of interest along the drive

Wonderful all day tour of the Great Ocean Road big sights

Very nice tour of the Great Ocean Road sights. Our driver/tour guide, Jimme Chan, did an excellent job sharing knowledge of the past and present of the area and finding both koalas and kangaroos and he was a super safe driver.

Low value for money

Driver has a deal at every restaurant, food average plus expensive and forces everyone to go there. Vehicle overbooked and seats are bad Good at general knowledge

Great Great reverse ocean rd tour with Pete

We loved our guide Pete, he found many Koalas, told lots of fun stories(some true) about Kangaroos, magpies, cockatoos, dangerous snakes, crocs, etc. He was very knowledgeable and also had a great sense of humor

Fantastic day

Fantastic day. I had a lovely driver. I forgot his name but he is from Greece. Gives sufficient time at all places. Highly recommend

Amazing Scenery, Meticulous Schedule

I witnessed some of the most beautiful landscape and natural scenery I’ve ever seen on this tour. Seeing the Twelve Apostles first thing in the morning (with relatively few other tourists) was amazing. Saw multiple koalas and kangaroos as well. I think the “reverse itinerary” was key to being able to see everything with fewer other tourists than was expected. The tour schedule was jam-packed, and our tour guide kept us focused so we could fit in as much as possible - which was great! I highly recommend this experience.

Great tour

Highly recommend a day trip on the Great Ocean Road (in reverse) to the 12 Apostles. Neil was a great guide and kept us on schedule while still making time for a few additional stops to see kangaroos and a koala. We stopped for lunch at Apollo Bay Fisherman’s Co-Op and had some amazing local seafood.

Amazing Experience!

Absolutely phenomenal trip. Glen, our guide was terrific, he couldn’t have been any more friendly and informative. It’s really great doing this tour in reverse so you avoid the queues. So many amazing sights to see and we got to see both Koala’s and Kangaroo’s too. Just amazing, from Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Enjoyable!

Rio was great. He knew so much about the area, stopped at a lot of lookouts and provided a safe and reliable way to see the great ocean road.

Nice trip

Penguin parrade was a unique experience for us. The driver was interactive and impresive knowledge on the region.

Best Day out Exploring the Great Ocean Road

Amazing day out exploring the Great Ocean Road. Had an excellent tour host ‘Peter’ who shared lots of knowledge and simply enjoyed what he did, which made the day even better. A big day travelling but all the stops broke up the journey. Would recommend as a solo traveller.

Amazing Tour

The tour was just great, we saw lots of spots in one day. Our guide Rio was super friendly and told us lots of interesting things. Would do the tour again at any time

Happy days

The views were great. Jay, the guide was a jolly good fellow, played some great tunes that had the whole bus singing and laughing along. What a guy!! If you’re happy and you know it clap your little hands! Such a great day. Thanks jay.

Nice getaway

Great views, saw the forces of nature at work! Saw the grazing kangaroos and koalas in the wild! Good guide by the humorous and experienced Jai!

Learn a lot, see a lot tour

Jai is a passionate and friendly, epitome of an excellent guide. He gets the koala for the group, took our photos. Will surely book a tour under him again!

Great sights and fantastic guide.

Peter our guide was fantastic. Trip was really good. Greats sights with heaps of stops and relaxed atmosphere.

Reverse Great Ocean Rd with Jai

It’s been a fun action packed and exciting day with Jai. As rightly put, experiential rather than just a tour, and one we would remember for long. Jai’s was great, from helping us spot koalas, kangaroos, to indulging in taking group photos. Enjoyed his jokes and pranks! There a lot more you can do with small tours. Strongly recommend over large bus options. Also, the smaller vans can make many additional stops busses can’t. Thanks Jai for a memorable experience!!!

Fabulous experience, a must visit

Our guide Jai was funny, witty and made the trip so much fun with his humorous jokes, stories around each place and he also played some great audio clips on the history of this great ocean road and how it was constructed. The spots he took us were fabulous and totally exceeds my expectations !! Next time I will book the 2 day tour for sure 👍 thank you Jai
