Moonlit Sanctuary is one of the best spots to discover Australia’s unique wildlife around Melbourne—but it’s impossible to reach on public transportation. Avoid the expense and stress of car hire when you book this small-group half-day tour, with pickup (but not drop-off) at selected city hotels. Hand-feed kangaroos and see koalas, dingoes, wombats, and more, with a photo stop at Brighton Beach and its colorful bathing boxes.

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.

Fun on a rainy day!

This was an excellent day! John was an excellent tour guide! He was funny, told good stories, got us to all the sites on the itinerary in a timely fashion, and stayed positive on a rainy & windy day! We felt safe with him on a wet, windy road! He even pointed out kangaroos and koalas. Highly recommend this tour and John!

**A fantastic day with...

**A fantastic day with Warren!** Our Great Ocean Road Reverse Itinerary Tour with Warren was excellent. The reverse route helped us avoid the crowds, and the day was well paced with plenty of time at each stop. Warren was friendly, professional, and a wonderful guide. His local knowledge, stories, and wildlife-spotting made the drive especially memorable, and the Twelve Apostles were spectacular. We would highly recommend this tour—and Warren—to anyone visiting Melbourne.

If you love trains this...

If you love trains this is a fun one. Nice to get out of the big city to experience some gorgeous scenery. Great commentary about the history of the train and you can even dangle your legs off the side of rail car during your trip if you like. Nice half day tour!

Fantastic trip

We had an amazing trip to the Twelve Apostles, and Steve made the whole experience even more special! He was incredibly kind, friendly, and funny, making the journey enjoyable from start to finish. What we really appreciated was that Steve gave us plenty of time to enjoy every stop without feeling rushed. He also went the extra mile by showing us wild koalas in the trees, which was such a wonderful surprise and a highlight of our trip! Steve is not only a great driver but also a fantastic guide who genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take us on this trip. Highly recommend Steve to anyone visiting the Twelve Apostles! Thanks, Steve, for making our trip so memorable!

Yarra Valley Half-Day Winery Tour from Melbourne with Small Group

Laura_B, Oct 2026

Nice Afternoon of Wine Tasting

An excellent introduction to Yarra valley wines. Jenny was an informative and thoughtful guide and handled the delay due to the freeway being closed very well. We were met at each winery with an area set up just for our group and had a little time to linger and get a glass of one at the first winery despite the delay. The van was one of the more comfortable ones that I have been on.

Great tour! Pick up was on time, and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Melbourne and the tour stops. Time allotted for us to roam around and take photos was just right. I do hope the van came with a cup holder at least for our tumblers/coffee.

Full-Day Phillip Island Tour with Kangaroo, Koala and Penguin Parade

Eileen_N, Sep 2026

Be patient! You’ll see plenty of tiny penguins walking the Penguin Highway .

It was a full day of activities. Just remember to dress appropriately for the high winds and cold breezes when visiting the Nobbies and waiting for the Penguin Parade. At Moonlight Sanctuary you’ll get the best opportunity to see the koalas, kangaroos, dingos, and Tasmanian devils up close. There was even a rare albino kangaroo. The views are spectacular in the Nobbies area.

Our pick up was a fuss...

Our pick up was a fuss free event with the amazing Alan who picked us up. The train ride was an absolutely wonderful with breathtaking views of the scenery. The locals get into it and wave as you go past them. It was such a memorable day that we glad we did. The walk in the rainforest was great as well. If you get Alan he made our trip fun and had so much knowledge and an awesome sense of humour

Hot Air Balloon Flights over Melbourne City (optional breakfast)

Olivia_M, Jan 2026

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
