Great 4.0
Sam is a very good tour guide who helps us a lot. His plan is so professional that we have good time management. I am happy that he walked the hiking trail for 3hours with us together and lead us a good way to hike and enjoy the view. He also prepared many snacks and fruits and cold water for us to enjoy for free. He also prepared one breakfast and one dinner of Australian barbecue by himself. One disappointed thing is that Klook booking interface didnt allow me to choose three people room in hotel. I hope we three people can together stay in the same room in these two nights, which I cant choose in klook choice.

If you're not doing a self-drive tour, this itinerary completely solves the transportation problem. The tour guide Brendon for the first five days and the tour guide Lina for the last two days worked very hard to solve the problems we encountered on our trip, especially Lina, who made me deeply feel her passion ❤️. The only thing that didn't quite meet expectations was the accommodation. We booked a motel double room with two beds, but we actually got two single beds in a hostel. If the motel doesn't have this type of room, it should be stated on the page.

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!

What to know before visiting Surf Coast

What to expect in Surf Coast Shire

Surf Coast Shire is a laid-back coastal destination known for outdoor and sports activities, tours and water-based experiences. Demand on Klook peaks strongly in October and is noticeably quieter around July, so the year has clear high and low points for visitors.

Best times to visit and price patterns

Klook booking data show October as the busiest month and July as the quietest. Prices move unevenly: the cheapest month on Klook is typically November, while February has shown the highest typical prices. That means price and demand sometimes diverge — October is busiest but not the priciest, and the most expensive period falls later in the year. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for November or the quieter winter month of July; if you want the peak-season atmosphere, plan for October.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Travellers from Malaysia tend to book about a week in advance on average, with many last-minute options available within a few days and early-booking choices about three weeks ahead. For flexibility, you can often reserve popular outdoor activities and tours a few days before travel, but if you’re visiting in October consider planning earlier to secure preferred slots. Use Klook to compare typical options and lock in what suits your schedule.
