The Great Ocean Road's main stops draw crowds by midday, so timing your visit to the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge around the buses takes local know-how. Ride it in reverse in a small group instead, reaching the headline sights ahead of the crowds with more time at each. Hotel pickup from Melbourne's CBD and Southbank sorts the start, so you spend the day looking rather than driving.

What are people saying about Melbourne

Angela_J, Jul 2026

Don't Miss!

My teen son and I took this tour and couldn't have been more pleased. It was well paced, a comfortable ride, and we got to experience so many wonderful sites. Note that my son is 6'3" and he was comfortable. Only thing missing was lack of chargers at each seat (fortunately our guide generously allowed my son to charge his phone). The stops for meals and restroom were well timed, always in safe and enjoyable places. We got to see wild kangaroos and koalas. Rainbows at every turn. What a special day. The cherry on top to the day was that our guide, Ben, was AMAZING!! He was incredibly friendly and is THE best representative for Melbourne. By the end, I was convinced I should consider moving to the land down under. :) What an awesome person! He found ways to engage with us as a group as well as individually. If you are looking for an amazing capstone to your Australian vacation, do this - you won't be disappointed.

Great tour, great guide,...

Great tour, great guide, hits all the highlights. Marty is a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. Kept the tour lively during the entire 12 hours. We also saw some Koalas and Kangaroos. Overall 10/10 highly recommend it esp if you’re on a short trip like I was.

1 day Puffing Billy Steam Train and Wildlife Tour from Melbourne

Randall_B, Jul 2026

The train ride experience...

The train ride experience was worth every penny. Just to sit and enjoy the train ride for a good hour or so is an absolute must on visit. The added sanctuary visit and rainforest walk is a nice touch. The rainforest walk can be a bit difficult with muddy conditions but I highly recommend everything about the tour.

Puffing Billy And Phillip Island Penguin Parade Bus Tour

Ruth_A, Jul 2026

Puffing Billy and Penguins

Be prepared for the massive amount of tourists at the penguins. Take noise cancelling headphones. My coach driver was the nicest fellow and very pleasant. Loved how the puffing Billy was mostly run by volunteers who were all so happy and helpful. Beautiful scenery and our tour guide went out of his way to help make it memorable.

Great tour for animal lovers!

It will be a long day but very fun! If you are going during the Australian winter or weather predicts rain, make sure to wear warm, rain wear. Eliot was a great guide and loved the smaller group size. Wish we saw some seals but the Penquin Parade at the end was the best!

A nice day seeing the sights at Brighton Beach, the Moonlit Sanctuary, and Phillip Island. The sanctuary was my favorite, getting to see the animals close up. Not too many penguins, so that was a little disappointing, but you can’t control Mother Nature. Our guide was terrific!

Go and do it!!

What an experience! Communication ahead of the day was great and clear. The crew were brilliant - fun but took your safety very seriously. Getting involved in setting up and taking down the balloon was very cool. The air balloon ride itself was magic - amazing to see the sunrise and also the city from above! Felt very comfortable and would highly recommend
