Full-day Great Ocean Road sunset eco tour from Melbourne with koalas, Loch Ard Gorge, and Twelve Apostles timed for twilight.
“Amazing tour and guide was patient and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who does not want to drive the road.”
Fewer crowds on a Great Ocean Road sunset day from Melbourne, with koala spotting at Kennett River and golden hour at the 12 Apostles.
“The tour is well paced with enough time to take photos at lookout points along the road. The advantage of this particular tour compared to others is that it leaves Melbourne later in the morning: we were picked up at 10.40 and returned back to the city at around midnight. We were extremely lucky with the weather: during the 1 hour lunch break, we could buy an ice cream and sunbathe at Lorne beach (do bring towel and swimsuit). Our last stop was the lookout point at the Twelve Apostles where we saw a spectacular sunset and even the penguins coming ashore. Our guide Jon R. was very professional, friendly…”
Great Ocean Road at sunset from Melbourne with a late start, wildlife chances, Shipwreck Coast stops, and Twelve Apostles timing that actually pays off.
“The road trip itself was not that spectacular but the last two stops were excellent! Cloe, our tour guide was excellent!”
Paddle the Yarra at sunset in Melbourne, eat fish and chips right in your kayak, then glide past Southbank and Crown lit up at night.
“Thanks to Daniel and Charlie who made our kayak day so special and we had so much fun .”
Sunset kayak on Melbourne’s Yarra River with dinner served on the water, guided views of Docklands and Crown Casino fire display.
“Highly recommend. Great instructors. Beautiful experience down the Yarra. We got to see a lovely sunset and finish up into the night. Went for 3-hours. Absolutely worth it and a unique way to see the city at night.”
Late-start, small-group Great Ocean Road sunset tour from Melbourne to the Twelve Apostles with koalas, gorges, and quieter roads.
“It was amazing day with lovely people, thank you🤩🫶🏼”
Magic Men Cabaret Ladies Night in Melbourne, Victoria. A 3-hour hen-night favorite with champagne, finger food, and crowd interaction.
“Show was pretty good but couldnt see anything when they were on the stage . The bar service was ridiculously slow, and the Asian man was extremely rude to everyone! There was no food we were all starving! 1 girl out of 12 of us had a mash potato ball and no1 else even seen any food. No outdoor area .”
3-hour Melbourne night food walk with a small group, four eateries, a guided drink, and clever local finds you’ll miss on your own.
“A Night to Remember in Melbourne – Thanks to Hugo! My friend and I embarked on this adventure not knowing quite what to expect, but thanks to Hugo’s expertise and enthusiasm, we were in for an unforgettable evening. From the moment we set off, Hugo’s passion for Melbourne’s food culture was evident. His knowledge of the city’s hidden gems, iconic flavour's, and fascinating history added layers of richness to the experience. Each stop on the tour introduced us to unique dishes, expertly curated to showcase the best of Melbourne’s nightlife dining scene. The atmosphere was electric—bustling laneways, cozy hidden spots, and vibrant flavours all coming together to create something truly…”
A 1.5-hour Yarra River sunset cruise with skyline views, live English guide commentary, photo stops, and drinks for purchase. Small group.
“This was not the craft illustrated in the information on this trip. It was clean, tidy and safe but less than half the size (eight seats) and no possibility of moving about or being outside. The skipper was a trustworthy, experienced and jovial gentleman but certainly no commentator on the sights we were passing. The trip was however enjoyable - most cities benefit from being seen from their rivers and the small group on board were convivial and entertaining including, we believe, an up and coming young Australian comedian and his family - that was you Sam, wasn’t it?”
