It was an easy, relaxing walk through beautiful nature. Not only the scenery but also the wildlife were amazing! An echidna, wallabies, many kangaroos, emus, a wombat! I enjoyed everything so much and would love to come back someday 😃 I especially fell in love with Squeaky Beach and Tidal River 😍 No hassle with the driving(rather, a nice nap😄) and our guide shared so much(the history and interesting stories). I was so happy to be with my lovely guide Jaqui. She’s kind, explains things well, well prepared, and smiles a lot 😊 She was amazing and I hope to have her again on my next tour!

Thank you for your lovely review! 😃
We’re so happy to hear that you had such a relaxing and enjoyable day exploring Wilsons Promontory. It really is a special place, and it’s wonderful that you were able to see so much incredible wildlife — echidnas, wallabies, kangaroos, emus, and even a wombat! Moments like that make the Prom truly unforgettable.
It’s also great to hear how much you loved Squeaky Beach and Tidal River. They’re both such beautiful spots and favourites for many of our guests.
A big thank you as well for your kind words about Jacqui. We’re delighted that her knowledge, preparation, and positive energy helped make your day even more special. We’ll be sure to pass along your lovely feedback to her — she’ll be thrilled to hear it!

Wilson Prom is a spectacular place the views were stunning , sqeaky beach was beautiful.the hike was a fantastic walk not too extreme but worth it when you get to the top...our guide Joaqui was brilliant full of information stories and very accommodating and flexible she was a great guide.

We got to experience Wilson’s prom in a whole day. Got picked up in the morning by a real Aussie who had a lot of insights about the City and all its history.
With not too long of a time spent for breakfast we headed straight into the park, hiked a short track and squeaky beach and started the real hike up mount bishop. All that we could do basically on our own just with some heads up when to be back from our guide. So it felt like experiencing it on your own and not with a lot of people. Heads up - bring your swim shorts for squeaky beach and don’t forget to apply protection for insects - the flies are pretty annoying.
After those hikes we cooled down again at the beach before going on a small safari where we spotted some kangaroos. After we headed pretty much straight back

Thank you so much for your review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your full day at Wilsons Promontory and appreciated the balance of guided insight and time to explore on your own. It sounds like Mount Bishop, Squeaky Beach, and the mini safari made for a fantastic adventure!
Thanks also for sharing the helpful tips about swimwear and insect protection — we’re sure future guests will appreciate them. We hope to welcome you on another Bunyip adventure soon!

Robbo was an excellent guide! He is incredibly knowledgeable and patient throughout the hikes, always providing the support and guidance needed to fully enjoy both the experience and the stunning scenery. We especially loved the tidal beach walk and the Mount Bishop hike, both were unforgettable. We also loved seeing some wild emu and Kangaroos!! Highly recommend!

Chloe (my guide) was very cool! I enjoyed that trip and the hiking trails at wilsons prom very much!
I would really love to come back another time, since I suffered a "small" accident, which chloe handled lovely - best regards!

I needed me time but not completely alone so this was the perfect trip for me. It's moderately paced, we had time to see everything including an add on. The group was a very good one and out tour guide Rys (sorry if I got his name wrong) was very friendly and funny. The trip was very comfortable, no issues at all. I just wish I didn't wear winter clothes because the temperature was warmer than expected. I had a great time and will be back to book more tours for sure. I highly recommend it.
Response from Host, Apr 2025

Fantastic day with our guide Chris.
Nature‘s awesome out there and Chris showed us the most beautiful sights - and we were even lucky to see lots of animals.
Averyl_M, Sep 2024
It was an amazing day, beautiful squeaky beach. Got to see wombats, emu, kangaroos etc. The hike up the mountain had me tired but views were amazing.
SuryaPrakash_C, Mar 2024
Very good hiking trip. Chloe our tour guide and driver was super.
Around 25k steps walked. Timing was perfect.
Felix_V, Mar 2024
It was my best day in Australia since my arrival (I've been here for 1.5 months). The landscape, the people, and the guide were amazing. Thanks, Frank, for turning this day into a dream day
Ieva_L, Nov 2023
I really loved the tour and had a great time - it was solo-friendly. Squeaky Beach and Mount Bishop were a real sight for sore eyes and the tour guide was also amazing! 5/5
Lorenzo_M, Nov 2023
The Wilson’s Promontory is an incredible place. The tour was beautifully organised with lovely walks.
Julie_N, Jun 2023
This is the best Tour I’ve ever been too.
The landscapes and the views were amazing! The guides were really nice (Ava and Mitch).
I recommend this tour at 100%. I would love to do it again.
Janine_P, Apr 2023
Such a great hike. Views are breathtaking. We also got to see some animals after the tour which was the cherry on top of being in a beach, mountains and rivers in a day trip.
Adrian_M, Apr 2023
The weather was cold and wet and it rained all day.
However the experience was still brilliant.
On route we had a supply of very interesting information from our guide Aaron, about local customs, history, geology, wildlife and lots of other stuff.
On arrival we had a walk before lunch and one after.
The one before lunch was a nice stroll along the beach and then along a path through the rain forest to Tidal River. The scenery was excellent despite the weather with loads of photo op's.
After lunch there was a more challenging hike up Mount Bishop through the rain forest. The view from the top was fantastic and everyone was impressed.
The final stop before heading home was to spot wildlife and indeed we did. Kangaroo's and Wallabies galore, and we ended up tripping over the Wombats as there were so many of them.
Aaron our guide did a great job keeping spirits up in what was nothing short of atrocious weather.
If I'm ever back I would defo do this again.
ChiaNing_L, Mar 2023
The scenery when climbing the mountain was so beautiful! Especially the view from the top of the mountain.
judithmills, Mar 2023
This was my first visit to Wilson’s Promontory. A beautiful area. Our driver / guide Eva made the day really enjoyable.
Irene_E, Feb 2023
Wilson’s Prom is absolutely stunning! Squeaky beach is amazing. So beautiful! Dave, Red & Aaron were excellent guides. Be prepared for some beautiful walks.
Carole_G, Mar 2020
Lots of hiking/walking. Tour guide let us walk at our own pace which was nice for us older people. Scenery was absolutely beautiful. Quite enjoyed this tour.

Overall it was very good experience. Beautiful views, nice walk to the top of mountain and then going down to the squeaky beach and beautiful view along the way. The driver cum tour guide, Terry, was very nice ,friendly and provided a lot of information during the tour.
But, I believe it is bit rushed. We had to kind of race against time to complete all activities. Also, in the 21 seater vehicle the seats were not very comfortable. We needed to spend 6 to 7 hours in the bus and thus more comfortable seats could be helpful. Also, we went to the top of mount Bishop whereas some other tours go to the top of mount Oberon. From the pictures, it seems that the view from the top of mount Oberon is better than that of mount Bishop.
kate v, Apr 2018
Fantastic experience but very rushed. Moderate walk up mountain but too hard because of the pace set. Alternative was easier but not as interesting. No time to stop and look at things. Continuous commentary on bus was like a uni lecture on history and failed to point out sights. Brochure did not mention swimming so did not bring towels etc. Could have swum briefly at Squeaky Beach. Did see everything though. Walk to Tidal River was amazing.
Milos M, Aug 2017
Perfect trip. I can recommend it to everybody.
you will see probably wildlife animals. We had luck to see kangaroo/wallaby, emu, wombat.
After simple uphill walk you will have beautiful look on beach, ocean, near small islands...
We were just small group of 20 people so it is also good for those who dont like crowds.
I can recomment this to everybody who want to see beautiful nature of australia and dont have possibility to go with own car, or dont know where can go.
Just take some lunch and water with you, because this is whole day trip and there is no time for stopping in restaurants :
Pauline_K, May 2017
Great Price awesome driver, so much information on the way and there. So much easier than driving yourself as you learn heaps and sit back and relax.
Extremely highly recommend!!!!!
Sabrina M, Apr 2017
If you don't have a lot of time then this tour is the perfect one day trip. You get to see a lot and it is an active day. If you are lucky you might spot some emus, wallabies or wombats. We had one long hike what I really enjoyed and the tour guide gave us the option to walk down to Squeaky Beach as well.
There is only something that bothered me about this tour. You spend about 5-6 hours on the bus and the seats are very uncomfortable.
Keith K, Jan 2017
It's a pretty good day out, does drag on a bit, Andrew the tour guide was very good. The views from on top of the mountain makes the trip worthwhile
syairahsanusi, Nov 2016
Very different from the tours that I have been before. Would recommend everyone to try it.
Umur C, Mar 2016
Everyting was fine , but we couldn't see wild an
Mals which we expect and March shouldn't be prefered to visit since risk of raining .
j_steeleuk, Jan 2016
The tour was a long day with a lot of driving but enjoyable all the same. We didn't do the climb to the top of the mountain as it was a very hot day. We visited the wetlands and rainforest instead which was interesting, but quite rushed. Too much time spent on the beach - one and a half hours. I would have preferred more walking at a slower pace to enjoy the surroundings, but each to his own. I think other people enjoyed the beach which was very beautiful.
Diane B, Jan 2016
A fantastic tour with a friendly and efficient guide-driver, a nicely group vibes, and so many breathtaking sightseeing ! I specially enjoyed the bushwalking and the bath on a unique beach.
I recommend this tour
reemshaf, Oct 2015
the place with great.
but the tour guide has changed the plan of having the moutain tour at the last minutes becuase couple of people in the group thought that they could not do it , so instead of him splitting the group he decided to walk the whole group to another area, which was not really sepcial. many of the people in the group booked the tour mainly for the mountain hike to the top.
we did a beach walk at the end of the tour which was part of the original schedule and that was very nice.
