Our small group (8 guests max) will depart Melbourne and head straight to the famous 12 Apostles before the masses of people arrive. Here we will take a 1km stroll along the boardwalk while appreciating the stunning views of the limestone stacks before continuing onto Gibson Steps. We walk down the 70m cliffside pathway to the beach where there is plenty of time to take some incredible photos.
Next it’s time for a delicious lunch at our favourite local cafe before we’ll drive through the magical Great Otway National Park and take a short hike through ancient rainforests to one of the Otways' pristine waterfalls (where the big bus companies can’t go).
Our next stop we will take a stroll amongst the giants of the forest at the Californian Redwoods before continuing along the iconic Great Ocean Road stopping at Apollo Bay for an optional ice cream. Kennett River is next where you’ll get the chance to spot native koalas, king parrots & kangaroos going about their routines.

This was my first sihhtseeing tour in Australia. It was otherwise amazing experience, but the visiting times was quite short at each place. At the van or mini bus, I didn’t hear all the talk, hence I was cornerd. And the accent was difficult some times.

Wow, what an insanely perfect day visiting the great ocean road with Mark from Hike & Seek. When researching tours, I knew I didn’t want a big bus group and Hike & Seek was the perfect small group in a nice 8-person max tour group. Mark had so many great stories and historical knowledge. We learned so much and had a great time with him & Dino! We also saw so many wild koalas and mobs of kangaroos which was a major highlight for us! If you have time to spend a day on the great ocean road, book with Hike & Seek. The way they format their tour misses the big tour bus crowds so you have a more personalized and calm experience.

From the bustling city streets of Melbourne, you'll embark on a scenic drive along the rugged coastline of the Great Ocean Road, one of the world's most scenic coastal drives.
The highlight of the tour is undoubtedly the 12 Apostles, a collection of limestone stacks rising majestically from the Southern Ocean. These stunning rock formations are a testament to the power of nature and offer breathtaking photo opportunities at every turn.
In addition to the 12 Apostles, the tour also takes you through the lush rainforests of the Otway Ranges, where you can marvel at towering ferns, ancient trees, and cascading waterfalls. It's a peaceful retreat into nature's embrace, offering a welcome contrast to the dramatic coastal scenery.
