Overview
Our small group (8 guests max) will depart Melbourne and head straight to the famous 12 Apostles before the masses of people arrive. Here we will take a 1km stroll along the boardwalk while appreciating the stunning views of the limestone stacks before continuing onto Gibson Steps. We walk down the 70m cliffside pathway to the beach where there is plenty of time to take some incredible photos.
Next it’s time for a delicious lunch at our favourite local cafe before we’ll drive through the magical Great Otway National Park and take a short hike through ancient rainforests to one of the Otways' pristine waterfalls (where the big bus companies can’t go).
Our next stop we will take a stroll amongst the giants of the forest at the Californian Redwoods before continuing along the iconic Great Ocean Road stopping at Apollo Bay for an optional ice cream. Kennett River is next where you’ll get the chance to spot native koalas, king parrots & kangaroos going about their routines.

Reviews
We were lucky enough you see koalas and kangaroos on our trip as well as beautiful scenery along the ocean road. We also were able to take a nice walk to a waterfall. Absolutely fantastic tour.
12 Apostles, Gibson steps, lunch at the perch, koala/ kangaroo spoting, Dooley’s ice-cream (Australia’s most award winning ice-cream) at Apollo Bay, California redwood tree were all fantastic. The number of location / spots we covered by end of day were unimaginable !
This is a must visit trip if you visit Melbourne. Hike and Seek team provided us with such a wonderful experiences which will surely remain etched with us for a while !
A big shout-out to Jeremy again for being our host and guide for this trip ! 10/10 will be an understatement.
Our Tour Guide was 1/2 hr late picking up everyone on the tour because she diverted to pick up her friend - I could have done with not standing in the cold for that extra time
The 'healthy snack' was bruised apples or bananas
The average for lunch was more like $45 dollars rather than the $35 quoted in the ad
It appeared that our driver was having trouble staying awake on the early morning and late evening parts of the trip - the minivan was swaying in the lanes and in the evening we were getting tooted at by other drivers because our van was moving into their lane
The trip ended up being 15 hours and not the 12 hours quoted - this might be in part to the fact that we were going 80kms in a 100km zone (again nasty looks from other drivers) and that we had a late pick-up
Viewing the koalas was a bit of a non-event really
The Pros
Our guide was lovely and she was very knowledgeable
The 12 apostles themselves were quite impressive to see
The bush walk was great - it was nice to get out in nature and out of the van for a little while
The lunch was fantastic
I would recommend this tour but maybe with a driver that was a little more 'on to it'
