Very good experience, suitable for both the elderly and children. Although it rained that day, we could often see rainbows because of this, and both adults and children had a lot of fun.

The huge limestone columns stand out in the blue water, which is breathtaking whether it is sunny or cloudy. The observation deck is great for taking photos.

Guide was engaging and knowledgeable, sharing a lot of information about the different attractions! We were able to see an extra tourist site as we had some time! Even though it rained at times, the rain blessed us with rainbow instead!! 12 apostles attraction site was more magnificent and beautiful than expected!! We were also lucky enough to spot a few wild koalas in the rain!!
