This was fun. While it is a long day, we did a lot and it was planned in a way that avoided the heaviest crowds. Ann, our guide was experienced which helped in finding koalas and kangaroos in the wild.

Penguins/Koalas/kangaroos and a kiwi guide - 5 stars!!
What an amazing day with John as our very knowledgeable funny driver/guide. Moonlit Sanctuary was an absolute highlight of my trip to Melbourne along with the Penguin Parade. Who knew something only 30cm high can run that fast!! John kept us amused and amazed the whole trip with the trivia he has in his head about Melbourne right through to Phillip Island. Linner (lunch/dinner) from John’s recommended restaurant of La Porchetta was very very good.

I didn’t think it was possible to see so many amazing places in just one day, but this tour exceeded all expectations! Our guide, Kiwi, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of interesting stories and anecdotes. He also accompanied us at the different stops, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.A beautiful day, incredible places, and an amazing guide. Highly recommended!

Amazing tour with the best guide Joe!
I had a fantastic time on the Reverse Great Ocean Road tour with Joe! He is an excellent, knowledgable, enthusiastic and caring tour guide who genuinely loves what he does and loves making sure you have an amazing time! His humour, stories, and generosity truly made the tour a wonderful time. He even went out of his way to show us koalas and kangaroos, and dropped me and another person off directly outside my hostel! I can't recommend Autopia Tours enough, but only if you go with Joe!!
