A good experience! Ocean Road was beautiful. our tour guide was a soft person and thoughtful. We had mussels for lunch and was good! Did not have much choice for dinner. Overall recommended and side note, sit at the left side (single seat) to have more view on ocean when travelling.

It was a rainy day on our tour. But we enjoyed nonetheless! Henry was a very efficient guide. It helped that all the participants of the tour followed all of Henry's instructions as well. The tour may feel rushed. But that's because there's just too much to see and 1 day is not enough, considering the distance of the attractions. So, the time given (15-30 minutes) is just good for taking some photos. If you prefer to take your time, it's better to drive yourself. But if you're okay with just taking photos, this tour is perfect!

A huge thank you to our guide, Martin, for the "Great Ocean Road Reverse Day Tour" on April 29, 2026! He made it an unforgettable journey! Martin was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the entire tour. From itinerary planning to time management, everything was perfectly executed, making the trip smooth and enriching. He not only provided lively and engaging explanations of the attractions but also shared a wealth of knowledge about the local history, culture, and natural landscapes, giving us a deeper understanding of the Great Ocean Road. When visiting famous sites like the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge, Martin thoughtfully advised us on the best times and spots for photos, allowing us to capture many beautiful memories effortlessly. He also consistently paid attention to the needs of every group member, ensuring everyone was comfortable and safe throughout the journey. The breathtaking scenery, combined with Martin's enthusiastic and humorous guidance, made this experience even more perfect and memorable! We highly recommend this tour, and especially recommend Martin as a guide! Thank you again, Martin, for your dedication and effort!

Ocean? Yes! Road? PLENTY! Great? Definitely! Most definitely because of John. So personable, and he makes the long drive bearable. Would recommend if you have a day to spare when visiting Melb

The experience was great! We had lots of stops in the Great Ocean Road with ample time given in between stops. Enough to take photos of. Tony, our guide, was very patient and kind even though some of the tour joiners were always late.

This reversed tour is well planned and we don't have to squeeze with many tourists and also avoided the afternoon sun. The tour is a little schedule packed but we managed to cover many places and lookouts. Also managed to spot Koalas. Thanks to our friendly guide Mark!

What to know before visiting Surf Coast

Quick snapshot of Surf Coast Shire

Surf Coast Shire is a coastal playground where outdoor & sports activities, tours and water activities dominate Klook bookings. Demand has a clear yearly rhythm, with a strong peak in October and quieter months around July.

Best months to visit and how prices behave

Klook booking data shows October is the busiest month while July sees the lightest demand. Prices vary through the year: they climb sharply into May (the priciest month on Klook data) and dip to lower levels around April (the cheapest month on Klook data). If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for April or the quiet winter month of July; for a lively, peak-season atmosphere choose October, understanding that prices tend to be higher in the spring months around May.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers from Australia typically book about a week in advance, with last-minute bookings often possible within a few days and earlier planning common about three weeks ahead. For short, flexible trips you can book many outdoor and tour experiences a day or two out, but if you plan to travel in October consider locking popular activities in earlier to avoid disappointment. Use Klook to compare available dates and times so you can pick options that suit your travel style.
