The pickup point is very close to the CBD and just a few tram stops away. Before your activity, you will receive an email telling you where to wait. There is no need to arrive too early because the vehicle arrives right on time. It takes about an hour and a half to get to the skydive location. Upon arrival, you will watch an instructional video, followed by registration and gearing up for the jump. The whole process is very quick. I arrived around 9:30 AM that day and was able to catch the bus back to the city by 12:45 PM. If you purchase the photo and video package, you will generally get all your media within about half an hour after the jump. The whole experience is quite efficient and a lot of fun, though whether the photos and videos turn out well is really a matter of luck. They claim to give you over 300 photos, but whether every single one is usable is another story. All in all, for anyone who has never tried it before, the value for money is pretty decent.

Arrived the area at 9.47am and there was no one around so I was quite stressed about not getting the correct pick up location. It would be good if the email could include a picture of the pick up point. Other than that, best tour I had so far. Ride on the train was okay. Good to experience as a first time tourist in Australia, especially since our country does not have operating steam trains. Wish we had more time at the gift shop at Puffing Billy. It started raining on our way to Philip Island. It was very very cold so my mom and I left the viewing area very quickly after spotting some penguins. Video and photography is not allowed. Neither are umbrellas or standing up. They are quite strict on that so that we do not startle the penguins in their habitat. Our guide Simon was the best. Kept us all entertained and interacted with us, making sure everyone was alright.

A MUST DO! Instead of Belgrave, we departed from Lakeside and stopped over at Gembrook. I dont know what I am missing at Belgrave but I am super thankful I chose Lakeside. Driving there was easy, parking spaces aplenty, station was nice with a cafe and a mini museum and just a walk or short drive you can get to the Lake area for a walk. Gembrook is a super charming small town too! We walked around and settled at a cafe called Gracie's and had some scones and hot drinks before we took the train back to Lakeside. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip because it was sooo peaceful. I highly recommend you try the same route too!

We had an amazing time exploring the Great Ocean Road with Daniel! 😊 He was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the places we visited. The stops were well planned, the pickup was smooth and punctual, and we had a great balance of sightseeing and relaxing throughout the day. The beautiful scenery made the trip even more memorable, and Daniel made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend Daniel to anyone visiting Melbourne and looking for a wonderful Great Ocean Road experience. Thank you, Daniel, for making our trip so special!

Visited SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium on a weekday am and found the entry process smooth and hassle-free. Admission was quick by simply scanning the QR code from the Klook app, allowing us to enter without any waiting.
The aquarium itself is relatively small and has a more traditional, old-fashioned city aquarium feel compared to some of the newer attractions in Asia. There is a decent variety of marine life on display, making it an enjoyable visit for families w young children and casual visitors. School groups started arriving later in the am, so it was quieter and more pleasant to explore earlier in the day.
Unfortunately, the penguin section was closed for renovation during our visit, which was a disappointment as it is usually one of the main highlights of the aquarium. Despite this, there was still enough to see and do, and we spent around two hours exploring the exhibits at a comfortable pace.

We visited Melbourne Zoo on a weekday am and found it to be a relaxing way to spend the day. We took the bus from Melbourne CBD, although the walk from the bus stop to the zoo entrance was a little longer than expected. Entry was quick and seamless, with easy QR code scanning at the gate.
What pleasantly surprised us was that Melbourne Zoo is not just about the animals. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with an impressive collection of ferns, mature trees, and diverse flora throughout the park. Walking along the shaded pathways often felt like exploring a botanical garden, making it enjoyable even between animal exhibits.
Unfortunately, many of the animals were hidden from view or sleeping during our visit, which was a little disappointing. However, this did not take away from the overall experience. The peaceful atmosphere, lush greenery, and well-maintained walking trails made it a lovely place to spend a leisurely day outdoors.

Tips for Visiting Melbourne
1. Plan your arrival and transport from Melbourne Airport
Melbourne Airport is about 30 minutes from the CBD, and the easiest way to reach the city is by taking the SkyBus, which runs frequently and drops you at Southern Cross Station. Taxis and rideshares are also available but can be more expensive during peak times.
2. Use the Free Tram Zone in the CBD
The Free Tram Zone makes it easy to get around central Melbourne without spending a dollar. You can reach places like Flinders Street Station, Federation Square, and Queen Victoria Market quickly. For trips outside the CBD, buy a Myki card to use on trains, trams, and buses.
3. Try Melbourne’s food scene beyond the CBD
Some of the best restaurants and cafés are in suburbs like Fitzroy, Carlton, Richmond, and St Kilda. Exploring different neighborhoods helps you experience Melbourne’s diverse food culture.
4. Book tickets for top attractions in advance
Major attractions like Eureka Skydeck, the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) tour, and SEA Life Aquarium can sell out during weekends and holidays. Booking ahead lets you choose a good time and skip long lines.
5. Add a day trip to your itinerary
Melbourne has amazing day trips within 1–2 hours. Popular choices include the Great Ocean Road, Phillip Island, Yarra Valley wineries, and the Dandenong Ranges. Booking a tour can save time and make travel easier if you don’t want to rent a car.
