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.

JOHN was the best tour guide ever. He would not let us cone back to Melbourne. without having actual view of the kangaroos! He has been very patient and had lots of very interesting story and trivias along the way. The itinerary is packed so get ready to make the mist of your trip! Worth the money!!!

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!

We had a wonderful day. Thank you to our tour guide, Kiwi, for the professional commentary and attentive service. Every seat on the bus was equipped with a USB charging port, and the Wi-Fi signal was good throughout the entire trip.

Definitedly recommend for 1day tour for Great Ocean Road. Augustine is very knowledge and funny. He gave all tourist spots history and joking all time time that make the trip is so much fun no boring at all. Price is reasonable, bus is comfortable and clean. Some tips and time managemane is perfect. I love London bridge (last spot) the most.

What to know before visiting Surf Coast

Surf Coast at a glance

Surf Coast is a draw for Outdoor & sports activities, followed by Tours and Water activities across the year. Klook booking data show demand builds toward October, the clear high point, while July is typically quieter. Outdoor adventures and coastal tours dominate shoulder months when weather and crowding balance well. For travellers deciding when to visit, the main trade-off is atmosphere versus space: choose peak-month energy or quieter months for more room — both are well represented in Klook bookings and shape how activities run through the year.

Best time to visit Surf Coast

Demand peaks in October and drops to a low in July according to Klook booking data; prices move differently, so you can often find lower-cost months that aren't the quietest. The median paid on Klook drifts through the year and hits its lowest typical price in November, while February and March show the highest typical prices. If you want smaller crowds and lower typical prices, November and off-peak months suit best; if you want the liveliest atmosphere and busiest schedule, October is the month to aim for.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January About average HKD 834
February Peak demand HKD 2160
March Quieter than usual HKD 2160
April About average HKD 1793
May Busier than usual HKD 2129
June About average HKD 2152
July Quieter than usual HKD 694
August About average HKD 1271
September About average HKD 772
October Peak demand HKD 655
November About average HKD 616
December Quieter than usual HKD 624

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Where to stay around Surf Coast

Klook booking data show Anglesea is the most affordable district with a typical nightly rate around HKD 936, while Jan Juc is the priciest with about HKD 1,279; the gap between them is roughly 27%. Anglesea tends to suit travellers prioritising lower accommodation costs and a quieter base for outdoor days, whereas Jan Juc is often chosen by those who prefer a more upscale or central seaside stay. Choose the district that matches whether you value budget-friendly nights or a pricier coastal experience.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

On Klook travellers typically book about 8 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around 23 days out, so allow a week to lock in plans and more lead time during October’s busy period. Because advance-booking behaviour is a platform aggregate, staying flexible is possible—many experiences are still available close to travel—but booking earlier reduces the risk in peak months. Use Klook to compare typical prices and secure popular outdoor activities in advance, especially if you plan to travel in October when demand is highest.
