Who travels with us
Is this tour for me?
Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 49, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture. Our tours are for those wanting to really explore and share the experience with likeminded travellers. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on group experience. The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast. There may be some long drives and passengers should expect to help out when setting up camp or cooking food - this is a group adventure. However, there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings. As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.
Cost and Fees
What does "Paid Locally" mean?
Some tours require you to pay national park fees directly, in cash, to the tour guide on the morning of departure. Rest assured this will be subtracted from the tour price when reserving your tour.
Will I need additional money?
Visitors are advised to bring some cash as ATMs and banks can be few and far between depending on where we are during the trip. Its handy to have some extra cash as we do stop by local shops and cafe.
Do I need to tip our guide?
If you had an amazing time on tour and wish to tip the guide, then that is completely up to you. However, tipping is not customary and is not at all expected.
Are there any hidden fees I need to know about?
Our tour prices are completely transparent. There are no additional fees involved that are not included in the overall tour price shown. If you wish to do optional activities such as helicopter rides or wildlife safaris, then an extra cost may be needed. However, this will always be made clear at the time of your booking.

I was with a group of tourists in a small bus. We visited a reserve and saw koalas and kangaroos. We also went to a reserve where the view was extraordinary and we went to see the penguins. At nightfall, it was cold on the edge of the ocean, you have to have warm clothes. The food is good at the interpretation center.

“Fantastic tour to Phillip island”
Travelled 4th July 2025
(5/5)
We had a great time on our tour. Our driver/guide Cory was great. Very knowledgeable, with a good sense of humor. Recommended some good places to eat when we took a break late afternoon for food. Also told a lot of good stories about the history of Philipps island.
The tour first stopped at the Koala sanctuary, which is quite nice, we saw a number of koalas and some wallabies. Then we had a food break and went on to the nobbies. There we saw a few penguins in their nests and on the drive over to the penguin parade quite a few wallabies.
The penguin parade is amazing. We had good seats in the general viewing area (in the cooler months good idea to bring something to sit on as it gets cold) and saw quite some penguins. Also on our way back to the building.
Highly recommend this trip. We booked through wildlife tours, but the tour was operated by Autopia. What we also liked was that it was a small tour and bus, with around 19 people in our group.
We went in the winter, which also meant much less people, though it gets cold once the sun sets. And we were lucky with the weather as it was mostly dry and only rained when we were actually in the bus.

It was a really good trip, I would even say the best of my life. Also wenn we have been there in the winter time, it was such a cool experience. We had the guard's nickname Kiwi. He was very calm and gentle, took care of everybody and told us great stories about the man who survived and must climb the 12 Apostels up to survive. I'm really happy we had him as our guide. Everybody was very friendly too, I will defenetly come here again when I'm grown up with my friends or kids in the future. I would defenetly recommend it!

Travelled 12th June 2024
(5/5)
It was amazing, just hope we had more time during lunch break to explore Philip Island (which could mean earlier departure). Fiona was amazing, she gave us tips on where to sit to watch the penguins and where's the wind direction.
We get to see hundreds of penguin, don't sit by the beach for long. Walk around and you can see them walking. We saw Koalas too although they were sleeping. Please wear comfortable warm clothing if you go during winter and waterproof jackets/raincoats - in case it rains.
For Muslims, there's halal kebab option if your tour stop at Cowes town. We arrived at Melbourne CBD at about 830pm.
Please dont take photos after sunset guys and follow the rules, it's for the penguin's safety else you mjght hurt their eyes.

She did a great job of managing expectations, sharing all the insider tips, and making sure each person had the best possible experience. I learned so much about Aussie eco topics, and appreciated Fiona’s obvious passion for conservation.

Travelled 10th July 2024

We did the reverse tour. I would suggest that the reverse tour should only be done in summer because the drive along the ocean road was mostly in the dark, so not seen, which was a pity.
Our guide was Kiwi Chris and his knowledge of the area and its history is incredible. His commentary was informative and witty throughout the tour.
We did the tour on my birthday and Kiwi Chris shouted us morning tea, which was a very nice bonus.
We chose to do the optional helicopter tour of the 12 Apostles and it was well worthwhile and the best part of the day.
Only one little negative: sandwiches and fruit for lunch were not accompanied by anything to drink and there was no water or liquid of any kind available to have with the sandwich.

The itinerary was well-planned and we had enough time at each of the places. We got to see the sleeping koalas up close, and also the penguins. Our guide Fiona was lovely and gave us lots of fun facts about Melbourne, she was also very enthusiastic showing us the baby koala Joey and even stopped on the road to let us take pictures of an Echidna. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Overall an amazing trip, would recommend to everyone visiting Melbourne.

We traveled with 2 young kids and the tour was great for us to see Yarra and Lake Mountain. We stopped by Healsville Bakery briefly before heading to Lake Mountain- it was good stop as the bus journey could be long for the children. The sun was out that day so there was not much real snow on Lake Mountain but we nonetheless had fun at the Toboggan slope. On our way back we stopped at the Waterfall and the Yarra Chocolaterie. We loved the views outside the shop it was pretty amazing. Lastly a shout out to our tour guide Graham who was kind and soft spoken.

Joe’s Bus is the best! Sis treated me to the Phillip’s Island tour for my birthday, and it was sweet! We saw koalas, wallabys, and so many brave little penguins emerging from the sea after sunset to reunite with their babies in their burrows. Lnew exactly where to go on the platform for the best views because Joe told us the best viewing spots! Super special experience, and one that I will remember! Joe is the best - good disposition, tons of knowledge downloaded to us over a few hours with just right humor, and he even charged up my iPhone between stops to make sure I had enough juice to record this fabulous day!

She gave advice at the penguin parade to maximize the viewing of the penguins which was golden advice. She even made the effort to go on back roads that other buses avoided which allowed us to see more of the wildlife up close. She was super passionate about her job and the island and it made the experience so much nicer. One of the top tours I’ve done in Australia. Don’t miss out on this tour and Fiona!!

“Best tour ever”
Travelled 2nd November 2024
(5/5)
Our journey commenced promptly with a strategic extraction from Melbourne, a city whose architecture and climate offer an intriguing juxtaposition of colonial history and modern urban dynamics. Autopia Tours, demonstrating commendable logistical acumen, coordinated hotel pick-ups with Swiss-watch precision. Joe, our guide and the proverbial captain of this expedition, met us with the warmth of a well-regarded sitcom dad. Friendly, efficient, and dare I say, brimming with “dad jokes,” he struck a remarkable balance between professionalism and comedic relief — a commendable feat on any day.
Now, on to sustenance: Joe distributed a variety of sandwiches — choices included tuna, egg, vegetable, or chicken. For the dessert aficionado, there was also cake, adding a sweet touch to our midday meal. This repast, while modest in its gastronomic ambition, fulfilled the purpose admirably, restoring energy and morale for the remainder of our scenic voyage.
Joe’s commentary was an educational trove, peppered with amusing interjections and trivia that, frankly, even I might not have known. (Not that I make a habit of boasting, of course.) Whether discussing the formations of the Twelve Apostles, facts about the indigenous flora, or sharing laughably predictable yet amusing “dad jokes,” Joe ensured the journey was both intellectually stimulating and amusingly lighthearted.
In conclusion, the Autopia Tours reverse Great Ocean Road tour — with Joe at the helm — is an exemplary day trip that combines punctuality, humor, geological insights, and a charming midday meal. It is an experience I would unequivocally recommend to any traveler with an appreciation for natural beauty, logistical proficiency, and dad-level humor.

The times of when to get back on the bus were made very clear which kept us running on time, which was super important for a multi-stop tour like this one.

Fiona took us on an animal-sightseeing adventure I’ll never soon forget. Che is truly sunshine in human form and a wealth of knowledge.
The koala habitat was absolutely surprising. We were less than a meter away, witnessing the cuddly, little koalas nuzzle down in their naps, snack on eucalyptus and even climb about looking for their new perch.
As we drive across the islands to dinner and the parade, Fiona’s sharp eyes helped us located Wallabies all emerging for dinner, as the bounded across the grasslands.
Fiona’s true knowledge showed at the parade of penguins though, where she led us away from the crowds and into witnessing the waddling colony in their more intimate environments. It’s was like Fiona just knew where their dens were and we were able to see their wobbles and stretches in blue, before the changing of the guards.

This tour is much more strenuous than i anticipated but she always provided an alternative. We had enough time at a myriad of sites to enjoy it, the barbeque she provided was generous and tasty and wildlife sitings were frequent. Only downside was the 24 passenger van which was most uncomfortable -seats didnt recline, were VERY firm and provided little leg room. Im only 5’6” and cant imagine what a tall person did. And unless you like bunk beds, upgrade to a motel with comfortable beds and your own bath but otherwise, it was just GREAT!!

Sad that we are there to help the endangered wildlife and some people are more concerned with their instagram. Otherwise- certainly worth the extra $$ for the penguin Plus seats; others in our tour said they couldn’t see nearly as much in general seating. Highly recommend this tour from Melbourne!

The second day was a short drive to the Grampians were we all managed to hike up a mountain together and enjoyed the views on top as a group. That night we had bbq together and watched the sunset with the kangaroos. I will never forget this trip and Misty made it so special. Thanks for all the laughs and shenanigans. Do not hesitate and book this tour!!

Travelled 1st March 2024

One of my favourite Trips ever!!! We had the most amazing guide in Misty - she was fun, incredibly knowledgable about our destinations, wildlife and Native Australian people and history. Above all though she created beautiful group dynamics and made us become one big family sharing an awesome time. The Great Ocean Road itself is breathtaking, there is a lot of diversity in the things we got to see and do - I really loved the Grampians as well. The meals that were provided were very good (2× breakfast, 1xdinner) and Accomodation was better than what I expected. All in all I would do ut again in a heartbeat.

I did the 3 Day Adelaide to Melbourne Tour with Misty as the tour guide, our plans changed as the Grampians were closed due to fire warnings, however the company and Misty dealt with the change really well, we did a lot of stuff instead of the Grampians, and even with the changes Misty managed to keep a great atmosphere and was very knowledgeable about not only the places that we have visited but also the aboriginal culture, the land and history of Australia, very appropriate the enthusiasm that she has for being a tour guide! Thank you Misty!

Had an absolutely amazing time on this 3 day trip from Adelaide to Melbourne. J-Dog was an fantastic tour guide, engaging and enthusiastic about everything and with a wealth of knowledge and love for her country. Favourite part was definitely the hike up to the peak above Hall's Gap. Blown away by the scenery - we got up early and so were the only ones up there, which was just magical! Thanks J-Dog for letting us take out time and just enjoy it. We seemed to pack in so much and yet still have time to soak in the magic. Great bbq on the first night, loved the silo art on the first day, beautiful rainforest walk with the tree ferns, and of course the tour along Great Ocean Road going from Adelaide direction meant we missed the crowds and got to stop at some.of the less commonly visited sites. Absolutely brilliant road trip in a small and friendly group - exceeded expectations by miles. 100% recommend!

Had a superb and amazing trip! We were on the 3 days tour from Adelaide to Melbourne and were guided by the one and only J-dawg. She was an excellent guide who made the entire trip special and comfortable. We saw so many cool things from the Grampians to the Great Ocean Road and the Melba Gully forest, all of which were done an impeccable timings with very few crowds. Our highlight was the hike along the Pinnacle Walk and the Grampians. J-dawg gave us ample time to soak and take in the beautiful sceneries, which really allowed us to connect with nature. Highly recommended!!

“Unforgettable… not to be Missed”
Travelled 14th March 2024
(5/5)
If I could give this tour ten stars I would, this trip is not to be missed! We went in a cushy bus from Adelaide to Melbourne. We were able to spread out a bit because there were 7 of us! We were able to see and do so many things on this journey.. from hiking in the Grampians, walking to see waterfalls, wandering in a temperate rainforest and also catching all the bucket list places like the twelve apostles, as well as sights we never knew existed. Our tour guide Janet, aka J-Dawg, was the absolute best, I really don’t think the trip would have been the same without her. She really has a passion for showing people her country and the unique ability to be inclusive and respectful while rallying her group to find connections with each other. She was also very conscious of making potty stops for my small bladder, something you really don’t get on the huge bus tours. And here is the best part, let’s say you don’t like hiking, Janet will find out what you do enjoy, and personalize the trip for you as best she can! I was so impressed!
Now the accommodations are not five star, more like motel six, but I really didn’t care. We are staying in small towns that really don’t cater to big tourism and just don’t have big hotels. I will sum this review up by saying that this tour was unforgettable and I will definitely recommend and remember it for years to come!

You pay separately for towel , locker and robe. Worth getting . It was Easter so busy on the day we went but still managed to find some spots not too busy over the 25 acres.. very clean and beautiful surroundings. We had about 3 and a bit hours of time at the springs and headed back at 1.15. Arrived at 10am so plenty of time to see the surroundings. Great tour and highly recommend .

Craig was very responsive to the group, unfailingly pleasant and shared just the right amount of information about what we were going to see. I appreciated that we had time to wander on our own at each location. It was amazing seeing koalas up close at the Koala Reserve and Craig made sure we knew to look out for wallabies as well. The Nobbies was a beautiful spot and we spotted several young penguins in their burrows as well as enjoying the stunning views from the boardwalk. The highlight, of course, was the Penguin Parade, and the experience was even better than anticipated. Watching the penguins come out of the ocean was truly magical and observing them even closer from the boardwalks as they made their way up the “penguin highway” or lingered outside their burrows was incredible. I found the bus seats a little uncomfortable but this did not diminish the fantastic trip that this was.

Our tour guides on Tuesday 25th july LK and Jordan were fantastic, Lk was such a character made the trip entertaining, (even his singing was great) played great music , they both gave some good information along the way. Made sure everyone was okay on the bus . Unfortunately no snow falling at Lake Mountain but was still okay . The Bakery stop on the way was nice and refreshing . The Steavenson waterfall was amazing. The Yarra Valley Chocolate factory was a nice way to finish the day off.
Overall I couldn't ask for better tour guides , they made the day perfect .

Great day trip. Got to see Koalas and their Joeys in a conservatory as well as some interesting birds and Wallabies. Penguin parade lives up to the hype as the little ones return from the Ocean to their nests. Wish premium seating upgrade was available and should have spent less time in the stands and more time watching them by the boardwalks and at their nests. Not allowed to take photos and videos of the parades though many ignored the rule :-(

“Lovely day out but spoilt with soaking towels”
Travelled 23rd August 2023
(4/5)
A wonderful day at the spas. Love the indulgence of a day relaxing in such a gorgeous place.
However, we paid the $25 for a threadbare towel, gown and locker that was drenched after the first pool, we spent the rest of the day in a soaking wet towel. Reception were dismissive when we asked for a dry towel informing us that we would need to pay an additional $25.
When we were having our lunch our very wet towel was left hanging in the change room to dry but were gone when we returned. We were therefore left with no towel. Not ideal as we wanted to spend another hour or so in the pools and then had nothing to dry ourselves with when getting dressed to leave. Resorting to paper towel.
On a day with a high of 11 degrees, a sopping towel made us cold and miserable and did spoil the day. Reception were borderline rude.
Strongly recommend bringing your own multiple towels.

The tour was fantastic. So many beautiful sights to see! We even got to see a koala in the wild. Wes told lots of stories and taught us a lot about the area and some about the history of Australia. We were lucky to have a small group of only 10 on our bus, but that is not the norm.
The wind and the chilly (sometimes rainy) weather did not affect our trip at all. Dress warmly if you go in the winter; it can be quite windy near the sea. I was glad I wore boots because it was a bit muddy at some stops. I also brought flip flops to be able to put my feet in the ocean and that was fun too. We had a great day!

Kurt's presence added a great deal of enjoyment to our experience as he engaged us in delightful conversations and played some wonderful music.
We were fortunate to have three blissful hours to soak in the rejuvenating hot springs and indulge in relaxation. Kurt's efficiency in getting us back to Melbourne in less than one hour and twenty minutes was truly remarkable. Moreover, we are grateful to Kurt for his kindness in dropping me off near my hotel on Spencer Street, which was just a ten-minute walk away.

Learnt lots about evolution (from dogs to seals, hippos to whales), eucalyptus trees (especially the blue-gum species), including his own favourite book that he's obsessed with: Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. Definitely worth trying out this tour and an absolute pleasure to travel under Rhett's guidance.

Maj was an exceptional driver and guide. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the folklore stories during the trip, many with a historical reference. The great ocean tour is highly recommended especially if you are not from the UK or Australia and have trepidation about driving a rental car. We spotted kangaroos, a koala bear, and many native birds. The coast line is truly breathtaking. This reverse tour was also enjoyable because we did everything that most tour companies do from the opposite direction, meaning fewer crowds. We enjoyed stopping at a café and local ice cream parlour as well. everything was beautifully.

The tour was a really nice and relaxed way to see some of the spectacular coastline of Victoria. Maj the tour guide has all the knowledge of the area and put in a few extra nuggets to make it a really enjoyable trip! We also felt in good hands with our frieny driver Nate. Thanks to both for a memorable experience!

I had the best 3-day trip from Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road and in the Grampians and back to Melbourne. The tour was guided by the tour guide J-dog: The most amazing, warm and knowledgeable woman whose energy is completely infectious! The tour in it self was breathtaking and she only added to that experience. I recommend this trip to anyone! Best, Regitze

Took the 8.5 hr. Phillip Island Koala Conservation center and Penguin Parade tour that starts at 1.45 pm in the afternoon from Melbourne CBD.
Excellent guide (Dandy) to begin with. Quite knowledgeable and provided good information all the while during the tour. He paced/timed the whole tour very well.
The visit to the Koala conservation center, the Pyramid rock, the Nobbies and the Penguin Parade - every bit of it was worth it. Importantly, got just about the right time to spend at each of these places, although you always wish you had more time!
Weather was excellent and conducive...quite chilly and windy at the Penguin Parade actually, so worth carrying enough warm clothing to keep you comfortable while sitting at the beach to watch the parade.
The Pyramid rock and Nobbies are simply awesome in terms of landscape.
Highlight of the visit was of course the cute, small penguins emerging from the ocean and making their way in groups up the hill to feed their younger ones....and also walking in tandem with them on the way back up the board walk.
Make sure you carry some food and water or have your dinner in time at the Penguin Parade information center (where options are limited).
All in all, a day truly well spent in the midst of mother nature and its beauty and splendor.
FYI, there's another longer tour which takes you to the town of Cowes for dinner break before heading towards the parade. I liked this one more though.

Awesome day trip with Dandy. Central Melbourne pick up. Dandy was knowledgeable, friendly with a great taste in music. Kept the bus trip interesting with local indigenous and settlement history. Loved the Buckley's story. Koala stop was really good. disappointed we didn't see any copperheads...that is probably a good thing. We ate at the penguin restaurant before the viewing. Long lines but happy efficient workers, good food and prices made it a positive experience. Rangers at the penguin beach were very friendly and knowledgeable. Of course the little penguins were the highlight. Loved it. Worthwhile trip at reasonable price for the day. Do it you will love it.

ello, it was really good thanks! We got to see lots of wonderful things and the people were great.
My only suggestion; I would have liked the motel option but since I was traveling solo it was extremely unreasonably priced. Many other tour groups I have done pair up two people if they both want to upgrade. Just a thought.

Travelled 17th January 2016

Yes the tour was great I really enjoyed it...the only thing I was disappointed about was the guide came over quite strongly about how hard the mountain trek was on the last day, so strongly to the point that around half of us didn't do the trek...and then when the others came back and showed us photos and videos it really wasn't as hard as he was making out,so I was very disappointed I didn't get to experience that to be fair! So for that reason I would rate it a 3.5/4 out of 5 I think.

Part of our trip involved traveling from Melbourne to Adelaide to see family. We chose to drive The Great Ocean Road. It's a great trip! There are a lot of things to see and this is the only way to see them. One note, take your time. We would drive 4-5 hours per day. It allowed us to stop in a few of the small towns, find a hotel and look around a bit. We even found a couple of surprising meals along the way.

Our driver-guide was Tom and he entertained the group not just with knowledgeable stories but also entertaining and highly apt song choices along the way. Good times.
