Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Aidan was incredible! Lots of good stories and facts about what we were seeing, and he even let us take over the radio to turn our bus into a party! He was the perfect balance of giving us interesting information, while letting us have fun with our group!
He was an amazing and safe driver!!! I usually get a little car sick, especially on roads like the Great Ocean Road, but Aidan was such a smooth driver that I felt great the entire time! Thanks for an awesome day!!

Great way to see The Great Ocean Road and Loch Ard Gorge. Would have never known it was there on my own to see! Stops were good and well timed out with a lengthy walk in the middle to help break up the day. I was picked up in Geelong, so the day wasn't too long for me, but from Melbourne I could see it being a long one. Bring your snacks, games and tunes for the ride and make some new friends. Jordan was organized, clear with instructions and gave enough info about what you were seeing to keep it interesting. Overall, I would recommend!

What an absolute fantastic day !! Don’t get me long it’s a long day but well worth it. The multiple stops and views were truly amazing and made even better by our driver Craig and his helper Barry. Craigs knowledge of the area and the history made the day so meaningful and special.

The tour was amazing. The guide Jannet (JDog) did a great job. She gave us so much detailed information about the area and the animals. We found a lot of koalas and kangaroos in the wild during the tour.

There was so much noisy conversation, selfish behaviour and unruly children in practically every pool that our group left with more anxiety than when we arrived.
We could not find peace anywhere!
We have been regular users over the last two decades, taking friends and international guests with us on many occasions. My suggestion to reception that they perhaps create a couple of pools for quiet, peaceful reflection was met with disdain.
How disappointing.
We won’t be back.

Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience at the Peninsula Hot Springs.
We are a touroperator that just provides the transfer to the Hot Springs so I would suggest you contact them directly about your concerns.

Our tour guide was great and made the whole experience very enjoyable! Going on a Friday during high traffic wasn’t ideal but that was the only negative. It was neat to see koalas, my fiancé burst into tears of excitement, and the penguin parade was a truly unique and fun experience!

Talk radio the first hour, and 70’s pop and Australian Country and Western playing the next 11. Altogether, 12 hours of being trapped on a bus listening to a bad soundtrack to glorious scenery. Ruined the trip for me. Asked driver to turn it off, but was told the owner was adamant that music should be on the whole time. If I’d known this beforehand I would not have gone. If I ever take another long bus tour (big if) I will check this out ahead of time. Did not occur to me that this would happen. Very disappointing.
