This is the 1st time I joined a Great Ocean Road Tour. The whole tour was great even if initially had some problems with the seating. Our tour guide was Augustine very knowledgeable and good driver but strict with time. We are able to see koalas on trees and we are very lucky to see one in the road passing by. The weather is also good during our tour. I highly recommend this Great Ocean Road Tour by Bus and Coach Charter

I joined the Great Ocean Road tour with Go West Tours on 31 July and had an amazing day from start to finish. A huge thank you to our guide and driver, Aleks. She shared lots of interesting history, facts, and local insights that helped us better understand the places we visited. Her commentary was engaging and informative, but never overwhelming. She knew exactly when to explain things and when to give everyone some quiet time to relax, which made the long journey very comfortable. She is also an excellent driver. Despite spending the entire day on the road, the ride was smooth and I never felt uncomfortable. Aleks also knew all the best photo spots and kindly helped us take many beautiful photos throughout the trip. The whole tour was very well organised and ran smoothly from start to finish. Overall, one of the highlights of my trip. Highly recommend Go West Tours, and a special thanks to Aleks for making the experience so memorable! 😊

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.

it’s a wonderful trip. Tim is a very sincere, responsible guide. He well arranged the time schedule , no rush for each viewpoint. We were so lucky to see the wildlife koala and kangaroos. Thanks for Tim”s arrangement. The Sunset of Great Ocean Road is so stunning. We had a very memorable and enjoyable time. Thanks Klook for the user friendly experience.

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!

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!

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.
