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

Surf Coast Shire at a glance

Surf Coast Shire’s Klook bookings are led by outdoor and sports activities, followed by tours and water-based experiences. Demand swings through the year, with a clear busy season in October and much lighter interest around July.

Best times to visit and what to expect

Klook booking data show October as the peak month and July as the trough. Prices move unevenly: they’re relatively low around November and December but spike sharply in February and March according to past price trends. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for November–December or July when demand is quieter; for the peak-season atmosphere, plan for October when activity bookings are busiest. Note that price and demand don’t always align — the priciest months in past data were early in the year even though demand peaks in October.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines booked activities about a week in advance on average, with many last-minute bookings possible within a few days. If your trip is flexible you can often arrange experiences shortly before travel, but in the busiest month (October) it helps to plan a bit earlier to secure popular outdoor activities. Use Klook to compare options and lock in the experiences you want at the time that suits your itinerary.
