Things to do in Melbourne

guide jensen was super kind and helpful. helped us spot wild koala and kangaroos. despite some other tourists on the bus consistently returning late to the bus, and even pressuring him, he remained very patient and kind.

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!

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.

We had such a wonderful and memorable GREAT OCEAN ROAD trip! Our guide and driver, Augustine, was absolutely fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly in multiple languages, making the tour enjoyable and easy to understand for everyone. He was friendly, funny, patient, and very considerate of every passenger throughout the entire trip. You could really tell that he genuinely cared about making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great experience. We truly enjoyed the entire tour and would highly recommend it, especially with Augustine as your guide. Thank you, Augustine, for making our trip so enjoyable and memorable! 😊

easy to redeem, entry was hassle free using the qr code. Zoo is not that big but the safari bus was a nice experience it was foggy early morning but eventually sun came out mid day.

Augustine is a very good bus guide, he introduce Melbourne history, Great Ocean Road details,etc., also, give us enough time to take pic and stay at each stop. Highly recommend everyone who never visit great ocean road to join.
