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!

Ocean? Yes! Road? PLENTY! Great? Definitely! Most definitely because of John. So personable, and he makes the long drive bearable. Would recommend if you have a day to spare when visiting Melb

The experience was great! We had lots of stops in the Great Ocean Road with ample time given in between stops. Enough to take photos of. Tony, our guide, was very patient and kind even though some of the tour joiners were always late.

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!

What to know before visiting Surf Coast

Surf Coast Shire at a glance

Surf Coast Shire is a coastal escape where outdoor & sports activities, tours and water activities dominate visitor bookings. Demand peaks in October and falls to its lowest in July, so the year has a clear high season driven by outdoor experiences.

Best times to visit and price patterns

According to Klook booking data, October is the busiest month while July typically sees the lowest demand. Prices move differently through the year: booking prices fall from spring into late year and reach their lowest in December, then climb again to a peak in June. If you want smaller crowds and lower booking prices, plan for December or other months with lower demand; for peak-season atmosphere and the busiest activity scene, aim for October. Note that demand peaks in October while prices are relatively lower than the June price spike, so crowd levels and prices do not always move in lockstep.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most visitors booking from the United States typically secure activities about a week in advance, with last-minute bookings possible a few days out. If you travel with flexible dates you can often book close to arrival, but for peak-season travel in October consider booking earlier to lock in your preferred outdoor activities. Use Klook to compare available dates and options and reserve experiences that suit your trip length and interests.
