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.

Guide Miranda is friendly, knowledgeable, resourceful and an excellent driver ! Weather was good, bright and sunny with a hint of cool air..!

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.

Annie, our guide and driver was amazing. She's warm, friendly and provide commentaries along the way. Good planning on her part. Highly recommended. Well worth the trip with Hide & Seek

Everything was great from the star until the end of the trip. Thanks to Angie who was a wonderful guide, smiley, knowledgeble and fun to be with.

Had trouble finding the pick up location and the tour provider wasn't available by phone to offer help or answer questions.

This tour was amazing. Right from the pick up point to our first pit stop for coffee. Angie our tour guide was fabulous. She told us interesting tidbits the entire journey. The 12Apostles are stunning. The schedule and stops was just perfect. I saw more than expected. Highly recommend this tour

We can highly recommend this tour with you but also other trips led by you. We will definitely book with you again for our next tour or hike!! your the best and many thanks again for a fantastic day. Meta & Eric

Pat C was an absolute cracker. True Aussie tour guide, you couldn’t ask for anything better. I got way more out of the day then they advertised, with close to 10 stops. The whole experience was about 13 hours. I got my tickets from Red Balloon, but hide and seek sell their own too. Amazing views, stops, and experiences. I would recommend anyone that has a spare day in Melbourne to book in with these guys. They provided one of the best memories over my holiday.

Awesome day & great fun. Learnt some facts & history along the way. Cheers to Pat C for definitely making it worthwhile!!

My small group tour was just two people plus our guide Will so it was like having a personal tour guide and a great value. The way they do the tour in 'reverse,' starting at the 12 Apostles and working back to the east also paid big dividends as we never ran into large crowds or larger tour buses at our various stops. Will was very chill, never rushed us, and made sure we had the full experience of the Great Ocean Road. We did not do well for seeing wildlife but that was no one's fault. The tour involves a lot of driving but unavoidable when starting from Melbourne. I was very impressed by Will's driving and time management. I thought the stop for lunch was a bit pricey for the amount of food but not the quality. Overall it was a very enjoyable day and I would highly recommend.

small group great atmosphere, and Guide so friendly and came to walk with us everytime and keep telling us the story behind ect. Also know where can spot wild animals surely exprienced. definetelly consider with them next time and introduce to my friends.

This trip was totally worth it. We had an amazing day and Shane did everything to make this the perfect trip! We would recommend it to everyone!!

A 12-hour small van tour with 8 people that really passed quickly. Main purpose was the Great Ocean Road with natural sights on it like the 12 Apostles where the tour actually begins with and then drives back to Melbourne after visiting a rainforest, giant sequoias, and checking free wild animals along the way (koalas, kangaroos, cockatoos, parrots, ... Our guide was Marcos who engaged with all the passengers and made sure we saw everything. He was a very kind, safe driver, and knowledgeable learned guide.

Amazing trip with Hike and Seek It was a tour in a small group (8 person), everything was great - a guide, a route, our stops - forests, ocean, view-points etc etc It was really great 1-day trip and I’m over impressed)) Travel in small group is more expensive but we can visit more places! It was a very good price for such amazing day. Thank you Hike and Seek! And of course to our friendly and very caring guide ❤️ P.S. as it was November, it was very cold near ocean, I recommend to take more warm cloths with you if it is not summer.

Very efficient tour; excellent guide; worth every $; great opportunity did receive a taste of the area around Melbourne as well as some historical insights

Enjoyed hiking to the waterfall and seeing a few koalas in the wild! Max was an excellent tour guide and had a wicked playlist.

Great experience. Tour guide was very generous and always available for help. Best great ocean road trip ever timing was great.

I highly recommend this day tour! Seeing the Great Ocean Road was one of the highlights of my trip to Australia and I'm so grateful to Shane, our guide, for making the trip such a memorable one! He not only showed us some of the most spectacular sights, but he also made sure we were able to spot some wildlife during the tour including kangaroos and koalas. It was definitely a long day, but well worth the time and money.
