Melbourne escape

Natalie_K, Jan 2026

This is one of the few tour options to go to Wilson's Promontory. I wouldn't call it a must-do, but it is a nice escape from Melbourne if you have a lot of time in the city. The views are nice and the trip was well organized.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the escape from Melbourne and appreciated the beautiful views at Wilsons Promontory. It’s great to know the tour was well organised and ran smoothly, allowing you to relax and enjoy the day. We appreciate you sharing your experience and thank you for choosing Explore Australia Tours.

Forgetting city life

Katharina_P, Feb 2025

It was an amazing opportunity to get to know the nature of the Nature Park! The tourguide was friendly and took care individually.

Stunning, well-paced, a bit of exertion but well worth it

Niharika_M, Jan 2025

Gary was really enthusiastic and informative! The trip was a bit far away but the views from Gippsland onwards up until the Prom were exhilarating 💫 There were many hikes / walks so we had to pick and choose, but Gary knew the ones allowing maximum coverage of the views and locations for optimal lookout plus keeping the timing and group mix in mind. At times it did feel a bit rushed, but given that Wilson’s Promontory is a large site, a day to tour it would not do it justice. Nevertheless I felt great going on this particular one-day trip with my partner and could not have asked for a better tour operator and guide 😊

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful review of the Wilsons Promontory Wilderness Day Tour! We are delighted to hear that you found the experience stunning, well-paced, and worth the effort. It is wonderful to know that Gary’s enthusiasm and local knowledge helped you maximise the breathtaking views and choose the best hikes to suit the group and schedule. While a single day may not fully capture everything Wilsons Promontory has to offer, we are so glad this tour gave you and your partner a memorable and enjoyable experience. We appreciate your kind words about our tour and guide, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! 😊

A wonderful experience...

Sebil_B, Jan 2025

A wonderful experience but a day trip to the Prom just does not do justice as the drive there alone and back, physically exhausted us. By the time we came back home we had a massive migraine from the extremely bumpy and uncomfortable driving (small size of the van); the hustle and bustle of rushing to and from places was not enough exploring other fabulous places due to keeping within time limits and waiting for other tourists to keep up with the rest of the group as they were too slow. The people were great, no doubt, but what disturbed us more was the use of a small vehicle and an uncomfortable one where we were literally cramped up like sardines in a can. Next time, please use a larger vehicle and a comfortable one when taking tourists to long distances.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your feedback, and we are genuinely sorry to hear that the trip to Wilsons Promontory did not meet your expectations. We understand how tiring and uncomfortable long trips in cramped conditions can be, especially in a smaller vehicle. Your comfort is a top priority for us, and we sincerely apologise for the physical discomfort and inconvenience caused by the vehicle size, as well as the bumpy ride. We also recognise how the tight schedule and rushing from one stop to another may have affected your overall experience. We deeply appreciate your suggestion for a larger and more comfortable vehicle for long-distance trips, and we will certainly take this into consideration for future tours to ensure a better experience. Despite these challenges, we are glad to hear that the people and destinations were still enjoyable. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more comfortable and relaxing experience on your next tour.

Melbourne - Wilsons Promontory Day Tour

Conrad_S, Nov 2024

From the moment I met Gary our guide I knew I was in for a great day adventure. His passion for sharing and knowledge of the area made for an informed relaxed 2 hour drive into the Wilsons Promontory Wilderness. It was a long day filled with several highlights including the sighting and up close viewing of kangaroo, emu , wallaby and wombat in the wild. I can say although the weather was unpredictable the geographical wonder of the beaches and wilderness would still be worth the drive to this lesser known area close to Melbourne even if the animals are not in view on the day you travel. I guess our group got lucky Thank you Gary for a great day out !!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable day on your adventure to Wilsons Promontory. It’s great to know that Gary’s passion and knowledge helped make the journey both relaxing and informative. We’re so glad your group got lucky with the wildlife sightings – kangaroos, emus, wallabies, and wombats in the wild are always a special treat! And you're absolutely right, even with unpredictable weather, the natural beauty of Wilsons Promontory is definitely worth the drive. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Gary. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!

Escape to nature from Melbourne

Alison_B, Oct 2024

A lovely day out. Unfortunately the weather was awful but our tour guide Gary was amazing and did his best to show us the sights and get us walking around in between the rain showers (of which there were many). Gary was friendly and knowledgeable. Squeaky Beach was a highlight for me. It really does squeak. Not a lot of wildlife out on such a wet day but we did see a wallaby with her joey. Also the rosellas at Tidal River are fairly used to humans and are quite happy to pose for some lovely photos!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a lovely day out despite the challenging weather. It's wonderful to know that Gary made such a positive impact on your tour with his friendly and knowledgeable approach. We’re glad you enjoyed Squeaky Beach and had the chance to see the wallaby and rosellas—it sounds like you made the most of the day! We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another adventure, hopefully with better weather next time!

Great, Prom. Day!

It's really the most beautiful place in Victoria

Lara_J, Aug 2024

It was a great tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodation. The hike to Mt. Oberon was tiring, but worth it for the view and the wildlife we saw. We saw a double rainbow with kangaroos, emus, and wombats. It was a really great day with nature. Wilsons Prom is really the most beautiful place in Victoria.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Hi Lara, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found our guide knowledgeable and accommodating. It's great to know that the hike to Mt. Oberon, despite being tiring, was worthwhile for the stunning view and the wildlife you encountered. Wilsons Prom truly is a spectacular place, and we're thrilled that you had such a memorable day exploring its beauty. We look forward to welcoming you on another adventure in the future! Kind regards, The Explore Australia team

Great experience in Wilsons Prom

Janet_L, Jun 2024

It was a great adventure, hike to the top of two hills to admire the beautiful views and see free lemus, kangaroos and mombats and visit beach. We were a small group of three persons and the guide, so we can talk of several topics and the guide Darren so nice, solve all our questions, made the tour enjoyable and ask us what we preferred to do.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Très belle excursion , paysages magnifiques

Annie_L, Jun 2024

J'ai beaucoup aimé Squeaky Beach. La randonnée au Mont Oberon fut longue et un peu difficile mais ça en valait la peine, la vue y est magnifique, malgré quelques averses.
