Melbourne Combo: Great Ocean Road Day Trip and Phillip Island Day Trip from Melbourne
Description
Two of Victoria's biggest icons, two unhurried days — the Twelve Apostles and the penguins, done properly. Enjoy the two most popular day tours from Melbourne in a small group of up to 11 passengers and package these two day trips together to get extra value and make the most of your time in Melbourne. On one day, you will travel to the iconic Great Ocean Road where your guide will take you to the best hiding spots for koalas and kangaroos and give you time to take in the incredible scenery. On your Phillip Island day trip, the famous penguin parade will lure you to the island but the Phillip Island Tour with Oceania Tours will allow you to discover so much more, including: Moonlit Sanctuary, the Nobbies, Woolamai Surf beach (time permitting) and of course, the island’s black tie gala event: the Penguin Parade. Pick up and drop off to your Melbourne hotel is included for both days, accommodation is not included.

We were with Elisha on a field trip. We did a different excursion as we had to do the oceans road and philip island the same day because of the cancellation of our flight. The guide was great despite the driving beating of him. Super recommended.
Did two separate tours with these guys. Moonlit Sanctuary and Phillip Island with Josh and Apollo Bay and the 12 Apostles last Thursday. Both our guides were really informative and helpful. But they also showed a passion for sharing knowledge of the area with us. Group sizing was perfect with around 10 guests which was also perfect. Thank you guys.
For three days we had *Eliseo* as our guide in Melbourne and our experience could not be better. We emphasize their professionalism, in-depth knowledge of the city and their Capacity (in covers) to make each visit interesting and dynamic. In addition, it was very close and flexible, adapting the itineraries to our preferences. Thanks to your accompaniment, we enjoy an authentic and complete view of Melbourne. Highly recommended as a guide, thank you very much Eliseo!
Me & the Hubby went today ...Josh was our driver/ guide...He was Awesome! Josh was on time and very personal-that made our trip just that much better..Josh is an excellent driver also and took time to tell us interesting things about Australia..Would highly recommend this tour and the company...Excellent service from Josh!
Thank you for your amazing review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your husband had such a great time. It's wonderful to know that Josh's excellent driving and engaging commentary made your trip even more special. We truly appreciate your high recommendation and are so glad Josh helped create such a memorable experience for you both!
Long day but interesting and quite varied in scenery and experiences. Lots of kilometers covered on the bus
Amazing experience. Two very long days but definitely the best way to see so much of the area. Dandy was our tour guide for the Great Ocean Road day and we learned more about the history of Australia than we ever expected. Sharing stories of growing up in the area made this a real personal experience and with such a small group Dandy was really able to make sure we were all getting what we wanted out of the day. I don't need to speak about the actual stops and scenery, I can assure you you will not be disappointed. The second day on our Phillip Island excursion we had Travis as our tour guide. His relationship with the animals was priceless. From Moonlit Sanctuary to Philip Island, he really knows what he's talking about. The itinerary's on both of these days are amazing and very inclusive-but the tour guides BOTH really made all the difference. Couldn't have asked for more!
Hi We recently did a family holiday trip with Oceania Tours and safaris at Melbourne for City tour, Philip Island and Great ocean Road.. Tour guides Fred and Dandy were top class and extremely friendly in nature..They are highly knowledgeable 😄🛣️ and I wish them all the best in the years to come..Hope to meet them very soon in any part of the world and probably in India Namaste from India Debraj, Sudeshna and Shreesh
Our Guide Gary has been extraordinary, a real pleasure to have as Guide. He is a magnificent Pro while also very nice.
Small tour of 11. Bus driver/guide was great; humorous, informative. We stopped at a seaside town for dinner (not included in price of tour) - fun to stroll streets and go down to beach to watch birds (parrots). Stopover by sea to watch sea lions along rugged coast with crashing waves. Then off to highlight watching fairy penquins waddle up the beach to their night homes. We also saw enroute anteater and many wallabies. Magical 5 hours. Perfect time of day 5 pm - 11 pm. Returned home around midnight.
I don't usually write reviews, but this one was special. Our guide, Dandy, made the trip exceptional. ( I know several other people who did the same tour with different guides without the same results.) Dandy knew special places to see koalas and kangeroos. Plus his enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge made it seem like it wasn't just a job for him. Of the 3 tours I took, this was the only van that the AC and sound system worked.
