Great Ocean Road og 12 Apostles dagstur med Go West Tours

På dagen for dagsturen var været klart og fint. En time etter avreise stoppet vi i den lille byen Anglesea for en pause. Sjåføren og guiden, Chole, hadde forberedt frokost, inkludert kaker, kaffepulver, sjokoladepulver, melk og varmt vann, slik at gruppemedlemmene kunne lage sine egne drikker. Det føltes spesielt varmt å nyte dette ved den vindfulle stranden. Deretter dro vi til Eastern View Memorial Archway langs Great Ocean Road og Kennet River for å lete etter ville koalaer i eukalyptustrærne. Etterpå tok vi en spasertur langs Maits Rest Rainforest-stien, med sine gamle, ruvende trær. Etter lunsj i Lavers Hill besøkte vi de storslåtte Tolv Apostler, Gibson Steps og Loch Ard Gorge. Hele dagen var fullpakket med aktiviteter, og landskapet var fantastisk. Sjåføren og guiden var svært erfaren. Selv om kjøreturen var lang og veiene svingete, er turen absolutt verdt å anbefale.

Vi likte turen! Vi koste oss med utsikten over Great Ocean Road, og turen i den tempererte regnskogen viste seg å være vakrere enn forventet. Vi var også heldige og fikk se ville koalaer. Chris er en kunnskapsrik og vennlig guide, og han kjørte jevnt hele dagen.

Easy meet up with our guide, Benjamin who is very nice/friendly/knowledgeable. 1st stop at Torquay while we took a beach walk, he prepared nice muffins and hot drinks as our breakfast. Continued to Memorial Arch at Eastern View. Ben also stop at near Kennett River and halfway to spot wild Koalas. Cape Patton Lookout shown a beautiful lucky rainbow when we were there. Lunch at Apollo Bay, tried their famous seafood pies, very nice. The Melba Gully (Parks Victoria) Rainforest Walk showered us with abundant oxygen and giant ferns. The Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and Razorback Lookout offer many scenic views, took so many photos/videos. A very memorable and enjoyable experience! Thank you Ben.

En god opplevelse! Ocean Road var vakker. Turlederen vår var en mild og omtenksom person. Vi spiste blåskjell til lunsj, og det var godt! Hadde ikke mye valg til middag. Alt i alt anbefales det, og et lite tips: sitt på venstre side (enkeltsete) for å få mer utsikt over havet når du reiser.

raquel was our tour guide. we enjoyed every bit of the trip since she explained the history and story behind every stop. she also was very friendly and approachable. would definitely reco this tour!

I joined the Great Ocean Road tour with Go West Tours on 31 July and had an amazing day from start to finish. A huge thank you to our guide and driver, Aleks. She shared lots of interesting history, facts, and local insights that helped us better understand the places we visited. Her commentary was engaging and informative, but never overwhelming. She knew exactly when to explain things and when to give everyone some quiet time to relax, which made the long journey very comfortable. She is also an excellent driver. Despite spending the entire day on the road, the ride was smooth and I never felt uncomfortable. Aleks also knew all the best photo spots and kindly helped us take many beautiful photos throughout the trip. The whole tour was very well organised and ran smoothly from start to finish. Overall, one of the highlights of my trip. Highly recommend Go West Tours, and a special thanks to Aleks for making the experience so memorable! 😊

Vi hadde en heldagstur på Great Ocean Road. Reiselederen vår, Jools, fra West Tour, var veldig snill og hyggelig. Hun hadde en quiz om hvert sted vi besøkte. Hun ga oss også små suvenirer sammen med sin Gumnut. Denne turen var verdt hver krone. Et must å prøve når du besøker Melbourne.

Superbe Tour avec des paysages magnifiques tout au long de la journée malgré un temps glacial et venteux Notre Guide Sheriff était superbe et nous a appris beaucoup sur cette région Le petit Café du Matin avec des Muffins en bord de mer était un must

actually , this was the second time to visit the great ocean (my first time is 2018), but yea.. joined different tour company. When compare to my first experience, this time certainly was much more enjoyable as it was a small group visit, and the tour guide (Bree) is funny and extremely nice. She explained everything in details and gave us a lot of information! I wanna her a 5 star if possible. It is unfortunate that we were not able to go down the Loch are gorge as there was a rock falling around that area. But it is nothing related to the tour …😅

It was a well-organised and enjoyable day trip with Go West Tours along the Great Ocean Road. Our guide Raquel was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting facts and stories throughout the journey, which made the long drive much more engaging. This is definitely one of the best ways to experience the Great Ocean Road if you are on a tight schedule. Just note that meal times can feel a bit rushed, especially when shops or cafés are busy with other customers. If you can afford it, taking a helicopter ride over the Twelve Apostles offers a very different and breathtaking perspective. Definitely something to consider. Overall, a smooth and memorable experience that I would recommend to first-time visitors.
