Review for: Join-in sightseeing tour

Our tour guide was absolutely perfect! The most memorable part of the trip was the warm and personalized hospitality from Mr. David of Go West. He drove carefully and always greeted us sincerely. He wasn't the kind of guide who just sat in the car waiting for you; instead, he constantly walked around to see what fun things you could do, taught you how to enjoy them, and proactively helped take photos! Regarding the snowy mountain, it's a small, mini peak, but the winding mountain roads took a long time to drive. It's suitable for young children and pre-teens to play for a bit; three hours is plenty. Since it was so cold, our cold-resistant family found two hours to be more than enough. (After getting back in the car for the return trip, we were so tired we fell asleep immediately.) However, this small snowy mountain isn't particularly special; going once is enough, or maybe again many years later. The waterfall in the afternoon was also a simple one, just a short walk. Plus, we visited the chocolate factory to check in and buy chocolates (the scenery outside the factory was beautiful). Overall, it was quite a tiring day trip!

Very good experience. Recommend to go when it's July to ensure plenty of snow.

went with 'Go West Tour" for this Lake Mountain Alps. unfortunately it was a wet day and not much snow. But Guide Budgie was very helpful and friendly and even volunteer to drop us at any location within the CBD to accommodate to our needs. Thumb up for his kindness.

Renting ski clothing, shoes, etc., can be quite expensive. We recommend bringing your own.

The ski resort is a bit small, making it suitable for those who want to experience snow for the first time.

FAQs

What time does the tour depart and return?

The tour departs Melbourne between 7:00–8:00am and returns around 6:00–6:30pm.

Do I need to bring snow gear?

Snow clothing and toboggans can be hired at Lake Mountain. Gloves, socks, goggles and beanies cannot be hired due to hygiene reasons, but can be purchased.

What clothing should I wear?

We recommend warm, waterproof clothing, including a jacket, pants, beanie, scarf, gloves and snow boots. If you have thermals, they’re also a great option!

Can I ski at Lake Mountain?

Unfortunately, Lake Mountain Resort are not offering ski lessons or hire this season. Due to the lack of appropriate storage space on our touring vehicles, guests cannot bring their own skis, snowboards or toboggans. But don’t worry, you can still hire toboggans at the resort and enjoy their designated snow play areas!

Are meals included?

Meals are not included. You’ll have opportunities to purchase food at Lake Mountain and the Chocolaterie.

Is there an age limit?

The tour is suitable for all ages but is not recommended for guests with very limited mobility, as moving through the snow can be challenging depending on the depth.

Will we see snow for sure?

The tour only operates when Lake Mountain confirms suitable snow coverage. In cases where we must cancel the tour, an alternative date of travel will be offered or a full refund.
