Andrew the tourguide is a Very nice guys and really relaxed. He makes sure everyone feels welcome and creates a real group out of individuals. I had a really good time during the great ocean road trip,the BBQ and ofcourse the bonfire at night near and in the teepee. I would reccomend him always to take you on a trip! Thanks so much!

Where to start Andrew was the best tour guide ever really friendly and knowledgable . Had my first ever surf lesson and even tho I did not get very far I really enjoyed it . The camping was the best bit and the bbq was lovely . Sleeping in a teepee was a experience on its own and worth doing . The second day the weather was not very good but still had a brill day would deffo recommend this tour

One of the highlights of my time in Melbourne. As a solo traveler, I highly recommend this tour- it's not only a great way to see some amazing sights but also a great way to meet some pretty awesome people. Andrew went out of his way to ensure that everyone had an outstanding, unique experience. DO IT.

Without knowing what to expect I went on the teepee tour with an open mind. I wanted to see the great ocean road and that was we were going to do. But it was so much more. Andrew was the best tour guide I ever met and made everybody feel a part of the group. He taught us how to surf and in the evening we were all sitting together, telling stories and listening to music. Later on in the teepee everybody was laying in bed with a campfire in the middle of the tent!
I never had an experience like this and I would recommend to everybody!
With the live music, small group and lovely people this was definitely the best choice for the great ocean road I could make.

I cannot say enough great things about Andrew and the Great Ocean Road trip. A few friends and I went on the two-day tour and truly loved every minute of it. Andrew is a super down to earth guy who's eager to create real connections with everyone on his trips. He takes his work seriously and wants to ensure everyone has a great time without going over the top or acting like your typical tour guide.
The Great Ocean Road tour was beautiful and experiencing it in such a small group made the experience even more memorable. Spending the night in the teepee was a super cool and unique experience that you won't get anywhere else.
I can't think of a better way to have toured GOR.

It was the tour that I wished.
Not too big, and not too busy doing something and relaxing in the nature, and enjoying the time.
Small group (11 people). So everyone could talk with each others and feel connected to others who are being friends after tour.
Hope Teepee tours keep going on their way.

This is a really fun and relaxed tour. I could not have asked for a better way to explore the great ocean road. What sets this tour apart from other tours is that not only you get to see the beautiful views that the great ocean road has to offer, but it's also a fun social experience. It's ideal for backpackers but also suitable for anyone else who is up for a camping trip.
Andrew is a really laid-back guy who genuinely cares about everyone feeling comfortable and having a good time. He creates a nice, social atmosphere that brings everyone together.
Thank you for two lovely days! :)

From start to finish this was an amazing tour for this normally non alcoholic drinker. Nice wine tour at the Yering Farms and at the Helen and Joey Winery. Alex, our driver and guide got us through the wine tours, the Gin floats at Four Pillars plus yummy sampling of chocolate. Alex was great at time management and easy with pleasant conversation. This tour was GREAT! Thank you, ALEX😘 from this Califorian!

The BEST way to spend a few day! I had the best time with teepee tours, made some great friends and experienced the great ocean road in the best way I can imagine. Loved the laid back feel of the tour, it felt like going on a road trip with a bunch of friends rather than on an organised tour. The teepee itself is amazing and I loved sleeping in it. Andrew is so helpful, no request is too much and is really great at getting the group to socialise and get to know each other.. not to mention the best jam I’ve ever had, this guy can sure play the guitar! Would highly recommend!

I did the tour the few two days ago and I just want to say thank you to Andrew. He is a really nice guy and he takes care of everyone. We went to surf, we had a picnic, we saw the most beautiful spots of the GOR, we had a BBQ, we slept in the Teepee (really relaxing place), ..
Try it on your own, you won’t be disappointed.
This tour is really worth the detour and its price.

Hi, I’ve booked this activity 1+ year ago, and sadly you said that the trip is cancelled the last minute and the cancellation would be taken care on your side. I haven’t checked later on, but as I’ve come back to check on Tripadvisor to do another booking, I realized the activity was not cancelled, but “completed”. Could you check on your side? Thanks.

Hi there, thinking of coming along... but, unfortunately we aren't much of surfers. We love the idea of teepees and sleeping out on the beach. Are we cool to hang around and sip coffees watch you guys surf? My partner is still recovering from his knee surgery so it is a bit of stretch for us. Let us know!
Written 16 May 2019
That's totally fine, there were a few people who didn't surf in our group. Also - everyone on our tour was a complete beginner, and the lesson is really low key! Super fun!

They have a giant teepee which is very cool and a fire to keep you warm at night! There is a small house right next to the teepee if you’d rather sleep there and it has a shower and a bathroom so use whenever but I recommend the teepee :-)

I will be checked out of my hotel and coming from airport. What would I do with my luggage? And when would the tour be over on day 2?

Yes, I am booking other areas and airfare. How can I find out the actual time of departure?
I see a pickup time or 11am on Tues but seems the option dates to book are on Wed. I'm confused.
