- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
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.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
What travellers are saying
- Rebecca F9 contributionsTerrific tour. Our driver and guide, Chris, was informative and humorous. The scenery was beautiful. We took a number of short walks. We saw kualas, kangaroos and cockatoos in the wild!Written 23 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sameer K1 contributionI had a great tour with Walter who was our driver and guide. Two days is a perfect amount of time to experience all the sights along the Great Ocean Road. Walter is knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the spots.
The itinerary was great as we were able to skip crowds and rush at most places - often the spots get crowded because of day trippers.
It can get a bit tiring as the spots involve a lot of walking.
The overnight stay at Apollo Bay YHA was great as well.
Even as a solo traveller, I didn’t feel left out. Everyone with me was great to talk to and interact with.
Overall, no complaints.Written 28 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Many good spots to enjoy. The trip was fun and relaxing. I know this from a friend of mine and I would not be hesitant to
recommend to others to join any programs promoted by this vendor. Good luck!!Written 12 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Very informative, funny and made sure everyone had a good time. If you're lucky to get him, your in for the best time. We saw tons of penguins! The wildlife preserve was also great. Very happy with this tour. Highly recommend!Written 19 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Voyage030285485641 contributionWe went to the great ocean road tour and it was excellent. Our tour guide Ann was punctual, informative, and courteous. She was very knowledgeable answered all questions we have.Written 3 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- susan m32 contributionsThe weather was a bit soul destroying, but our guide James kept us in high spirits. I can only imagine how beautiful this place would be in the summer time. At least with the 2 day tour, we had the luxury of waiting for gaps in the weather rather than getting soaked to the bone at each location. It was torrential. Bring a rain coat is my only advice.Written 3 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SueJohannesburg, South Africa8 contributionsWe were very happy with the services of great Ocean Road Explorer. I knew they would be good on the great Ocean Road, given that would seem to be their main market, but they still gave us an excellent tour to Phillip island as well.
They were also quite flexible when we contacted them, as we wanted a ‘day off’ to explore Melbourne, so we did the tour to phillip island on the Monday, explored Melbourne by ourselves on Tuesday, and then went on the 2 day portion of the tour to the great Ocean Road on Wednesday and Thursday, which all worked out well.
We also saved quite a bit of money by booking directly (via a combination of phone and email) which is always a nice little bonus.Written 8 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - JJTTKrakow, Poland20 contributionsWow! This is a mammoth tour, be warned, there is a fair bit of driving, especially on day 2 as the Great Ocean Road leg is very long. You can counteract this by doing the same tour over 3 days which might cut your driving down. But this would have pushed up the price so we opted for the shorter 2 day option.
There were so many great parts to this trip I wouldn’t know where to begin. Our guide James was great. He was so well organised wherever we went, as especially on Philip island, we required ticket entry to everywhere, but he had already pre-booked everything so we skipped the queue wherever we went. He advised us a few weeks before booking to upgrade our Penguin parade ticket, which he did for us. Such a good move, as it gained us entry into a limited entry area. Really great!
And the Great Ocean Road is just mind blowing , but perhaps best done by staying overnight along the road. As mentioned, it was an option we did consider but didn’t go for in the end.Written 27 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
