★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Great views and wild animals!
joeltR9791LO, September 2026
It was a great experience with lots of great views of some key locations on the Great Ocean Road. The guide, Tony, often gave information and told stories about the towns we visited and did a very good job at finding wild koalas and kangaroos for us to see. We did spend a lot of the day driving, and it is a long day so bring food and drink.
