Very interesting. But...

Very interesting. But when the weather is cloudy the 12 apostles looks not so fantastic. Thanks to our Gide, he was awesome!

Book it!

Highly recommend this tour! Sights were fantastic, tour guide knowledgeable, funny and friendly. We started at the 12 Apostles and then made our way in reverse down the Great Ocean Road which was great to miss the big crowds and tour buses. Lunch options were varied and delicious, lots of seafood options which is exactly what you want on a trip near the Ocean. Pete from On the Road tours is a top bloke and so passionate about what he does which made the experience so memorable. His knowledge and stories were great! We even got a close encounter with Faye the Magpie and some very cute koalas and Roo’s. You won’t be sorry, book it!
