Great Ocean Road Travel Guides (Updated October 2026)

Had a great tour and a great guide on this GREAT Ocean Road ;-)

We had a Great day on the Great Ocean Road reverse trip. Our guide, Marty, was quite knowledgeable and very entertaining. He had a good sense of humor which helps on a full-day outing. We were also lucky to have gorgeous weather. I highly recommend this reverse itinerary since you start out the day with the amazing rock formations and end the day with amazing beaches. The rainforest is sandwiched in the middle. Overall, it's a wonderful way to spend a day out of Melbourne.

Ann is a warm and knowledgeable tour guide, highly recommend

Amazing Great Ocean Road day tour! The schedule is well arranged so we skipped big tourist crowds. Our guide had very steady driving. Despite the long round trip, the journey never felt exhausting. He introduced plenty of local culture and the history behind Great Ocean Road throughout the drive. A wonderful experience!

This is a fantastic experience. I took my young children aged 6 to 11 years during the school holidays. Although it was busy you still often find yourself the only group in a particular pool and can still seem secluded. All children there on the day from ours and other families were well behaved. Will definitely be back!

I had an excellent experience. We were really fortunate to have John as our guide. He is very knowledgeable, caring, friendly, entertaining and engaging. I highly recommend this tour.

Pick-up was right on time, and our driver’s driving skills were excellent. Overall, it was an excellent experience! The guide spoke multiple languages and gave great, engaging storytelling throughout the tour.

John Paul was an amazing guide. We had such a good day. Would recommend. Perfect amount of time at every stop. All included and no extra costs.

I had an amazing experiance, the staff and instructors are great people and really helpfull. They really helped me improve my surfing.

Very informative. Can see all places in 1 day. Very satisfied. Highly recommend it to people visiting Melbourne for the first time.

The tour covered the whole day. Tony was a friendly and knowledgeable tourguide. Recommend for a day trip when visiting Melbourne.

Long, long trip, spread out very well though. Beautiful scenery! Expect over 500km day, and hope for sunshine!

Spence was super! Knowledgable and really professional. I'd highly recommend him and the Torquay Surfing Academy.

The guide was easy to use and provided a lot of information regarding the places to visit , what to see and what to expect.

Simply the most wonderful thing you could be doing - giving people the opportunity to better understand the flora and fauna we need to keep being surrounded by ... Thank you.

Wow what a beautiful place. It was relaxing, peaceful, tranquil and we will definitely be going back again. Thank you for the experience.
