My boyfriend and I did the 12 Apostles, Otways and Great Ocean Road Day Tour on the 20th of June and had the most incredible day!! It was straight after the latest Covid lockdown here in Melbourne and so it ended up just being the 2 of us on the tour with James as our super knowledgeable, fun and friendly guide! We had the best day and saw so many amazing sights from the 12 Apostles (James knew so many interesting facts here as well as at all of the places we visited!) the Otways, a beautiful waterfall and the incredible Californian Redwoods! We had lunch at a cute cafe along the way and plenty of time to stop and take it all in at every single destination. We packed so much into the day & got to see Koalas in the wild for the first time too! Wrapping up the day with a quick trip to beautiful Lorne with time to stop for a coffee was a perfect way to end the day. I highly recommend booking and having this experience for yourself :). This was our second trip with Hike & Seek and we'll definitely be back for more! Thanks James & Hike & Seek for these incredible adventures we have been having with you!

Great day out on the Ocean Road. We had stunning weather and Mick was an excellent guide. The small tour group of 6 people and the small tour bus was good and we saw much more than the 12 Apostles. Due to COVID there were no crowds and the side trips to the waterfall and redwood stands added to the trip plus the koala sighting at Kennet Beach. this is one of the few tours still running in Victoria ad deserve to succeed. the lunch and coffee stoops were at small independent stores and both were very good.

Terrific day from start to end. Our tour guide Michael was extremely friendly & accommodating, he shared a wealth of knowledge and insight on the incredible history at each landmark. The day went incredibly smoothly visiting the twelve apostles and several other magical landscapes down the great ocean road. Highly recommend and look forward to booking the next one! Thank you James & Michael for fulfilling our requirements and leaving us with what was a very memorable day!

Lots of stops to get out and explore. Really stunning landscapes. All the benefits of traveling in a small group. Knowledgeable, nice and hospitable guide. It’s a long day (12 hours) and I was tired at the end of it. Happy tired. Very happy tired.

As a Victorian, I decided to be a tourist in my own state for the Summer break – but I wanted somebody else to take care of it all. I chose Hide and Seek because they offered small group day hikes to some of my favourite places in Victoria. I did the Wilson’s Prom and 12 Apostles/Great Otways/Great Ocean Road day trips. Both trips were totally different, but both had a variety of walks and wildlife sightings in many beautiful environments. Our guide/driver, Shane, was knowledgeable and easy-going, and checked-in with us throughout the trip. I recommend Hike and Seek whether you’re an international or domestic tourist, travelling solo or with a friend. It was great to let someone else do the planning and driving! An uplifting experience with a cool group of people.

MUST BOOK! This was the highlight of our week in Melbourne. Not just a 12 Apostles sightseeing tour! This was MUCH more than that. First We we're picked up in a brand new van, which was super comfortable and roomy. James provided us coffee and fruit before we departed which was a lovely touch. We then headed straight for the 12 Apostles, which happened to be the most beautiful landscape I had ever seen. After that we drove to the Otways, where we proceeded to hike down to an incredible and secluded waterfall. From there we took a stroll amongst some massive sequoia trees, spotted some koalas, and took a dip in the Southern Ocean. All the while getting some local knowledge from James and some tasty food from some kind folks along the way. James was super professional and courteous. He went out of his way to make sure his guests had an impeccable time. He really takes pride in his work and it really shows! Would recommend to anyone and would absolutely book with Hikeandseek again when we return to Melbourne. Top notch service, experience, and value! I wish i could give it 6 stars!

One of the best tours I’ve ever been on in almost 50 countries. Not only because of where it takes you but the experience that the company gives takes it to the next level.
