Feedback: Awesome Great Ocean Road tour‏

Great day to visit the Great Ocean Road!

 

Hi Go West,

We did the Great Ocean road trip on Sunday with Lee. We had a fabulous time and Lee was hilarious, it was hard to decide which one we enjoyed more, the great ocean road or Lee’s commentary!! The drive was extremely comfortable even in the extremely hot weather. This was the highlight of our vacation to Melbourne. Can’t wait to get back to Melbourne and book ourselves on the other tours with Go west. Thanks and a big thanks to Lee for making the trip unforgettable.

Some colourful characters from a recent tour

Feeding the birds

Thanks these two happy campers, Glen and Mark from Canada for sending us a pic from their recent visit to the Great Ocean Road. These King Parrots are just some of the spectacular birdlife we encounter on our day tour, and always seem to know when we’re about to arrive, descending on our group for a beak full of native seeds!

Who’s a pretty polly?

Friends joining the Great Ocean Road Tour

Just look at this bunch of trouble makers posing for the camera! These sulphur crested cockatoos are regular visitors on our Great Ocean Road tour and just love a bit of human attention.

Pumping surf at Bells Beach!

Surfing beaches along the Great Ocean Road

Visitors to the Great Ocean Road’s most famous surf spot – Bells Beach – have been treated to some truly “gnarly” waves over the last couple of weeks. The surfers have been out in big numbers to make the most of the awesome conditions!! It’s a fabulous spectacle to watch these catch a big wave and pull out some funky manoeuvres on their way in to the shore.

An “arresting experience” with Melbourne Crime Tours

Imagine if one day you were arrested…

Would you be frightened, excited, curious, or intimidated? What would the arresting police officers be like?

On our new Melbourne Crime Tour, you can find out!! Our tour “terminates” with an arresting experience at the Melbourne City Watch House where the Sergeant on duty will put you through your paces.

Before re-joining society, you can have your mug-shot taken, to cap off a truly memorable experience!

Whale watching at the Great Ocean Road!

Spotted 2 whales near Apollo Bay!

This past week our customers were very lucky as they got to spot two whales just offshore at Skene’s Creek (near Apollo Bay)- two whales in the space of 10 minutes – awesome! Unfortunately we didn’t have a better zoo lens on the spot, but being there was definitely a great experience. These beautiful creatures come to the south coast of Australia every winter, sometimes to give birth to young, and can often we seen along the Great Ocean Road before beginning their journey back to the Antartic.

Enjoying some afternoon tea at the Nobbies @ the Penguin Parade Tour

Join us for a tea or coffee at the beautiful Nobbies!

After a guided eco-tour of the Australian Garden, making your own chocolate at Panny’s Chocolate World and viewing koalas up close at the Koala Conservation Centre, relaxing with a cup of tea or coffee is a perfect way to admire the sunset.

A beautiful sunset at the Nobbies before heading to the Penguin Parade.

Melbourne Crime Tours takes the town by storm!

Our new Melbourne Crime Tour is the talk of the town,  recently attracting some attention from Melbourne’s media! Both Channel Ten TV and leading talkback radio station 3AW have had features on our tour, and we have even been featured on radio in New Zealand. It seems this new experiential tour has everyone talking!

Visiting the Chocolate Factory with the Phillip Island Tour
