The tour was very good, it is a long trip but it is worth it to see the sceneries. In my case I went on long weekend all was full of people, it was difficult for the guide to find parking, he made his best. The guide was very friendly and solved all our doubts, always open to our questions. Unfortunately we didn't see kangaroos as says in the name of the tour.

Grampians National Park with Kangaroos and MacKenzie Falls

Amasing time

Elise_M, Mar 2024

I had a wonderful experience with this tour : well organised and the Grampians were one of my favorite place in Victoria ! The people I was with were really nice, and the guide was very cool, even if wasn't always able to understand everything he says (i'm a non native english speaker, and I struggle with some people more than others), but I get the most of it. But all over points were perfect, I would really recommand this experience.

Great Guide

Jeremy was a fantastic tour guide took us to some beautiful spots that were breath taking. Mackenzie fall and kangaroos were awesome

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi There, Thank you for the great review on our Grampians National Park Tour! We're so happy to hear you had a great time with Jeremy! How amazing is Mackenzie Falls. Such a great place to visit! Shania

Nice trip to Grampian national park

Xiaodong_H, Mar 2024

Jeremy is a great guide and he works so hard! He tried to get us spot more wildlife kangaroos and more local lookouts in Grampian national park

Excellent tour!

David_C, Dec 2023

We had a great day out with Wes from Autopia Tours. It was a long day, with a 7:30am pickup, getting back just after 8pm. The drive to and from the Grampians is about 3 hours, which we had not fully appreciated when we booked the tour. Nevertheless, the bus was very comfortable, (unlike most other tours we did whilst here!), with a decent length between seats; as someone who is 6' 2" tall I could comfortably sit without having my knees against the seat in front. Wes stopped halfway on the way out and back for a rest break and a chance to get a coffee etc, which was much appreciated by all. Once in the Grampians, we stopped first at the town of Halls Gap and had a nice walk for a couple of km into the foothills and some rockpools, after which we ate our lunch in the picnic area; all very pleasant. We then visited several spectacular sites, including McKenzie Falls from where the photo was taken. It's quite a walk to the bottom of the falls although there is a well-made path with good steps; the walk back up was good exercise! We then visited several lookouts, each with spectacular views. The Indigenous Cultural Centre was closed but Wes took us to the "Bunjil" indigenous rock art site instead, which was a good substitute and which helped put some perspective on the human history of the region. As advertised, we saw plenty of wild kangaroos and some emu, plus a goanna (but no snakes!). Overall, it was an excellent day with an excellent guide!

Hi David, Reviews like this are why we do what we do! We are so happy to hear of your positive experience on tour with us visiting the Grampians. The views and sites you see on tour are incredible and we're so glad you enjoyed it as much as we do! We hope to see you again soon, Shania :)

Grampian is a must go place if you visit Melbourne.

BoSung_C, Dec 2023

Grampians National Park was great.. A place you must go if you visit Melbourne. On that day morning, I got a message from Korea that my father passed away. I was in shock but the guide Chris was so nice and calmed me down. I could finish the tour with his help. Thank you very much. The tour course was also great so I bet everyone will enjoy

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi There, We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. We send our deepest condolences! We are so glad that you were able to manage having such a great day with Chris at the Grampians regardless of the news you recieved. Shania :)

Grampians Wonder tour

Teresa_B, Apr 2023

Madge was very informative and a pleasure to have as a guide. Plenty of beauty spots and photo opportunities. Especially loved the stop at Halls Gap ( try the Brewery)

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Hey Teresa, Thank you for choosing to travel with Wildlife Tours. We will pass the good news on to Maj! Thanks, Tayla

Kangaroos in the Wild

MichelleS, Mar 2023

Grampians National Park was very cool. The cultural center was closed for construction, but we saw a few kangaroos and emus in the wild. Quite a few overlooks with beautiful views. Makenzie Falls is a lot of steps on the way back up. If it's super hot, I'm not sure it'd be worth it. All in all, recommend.

I'd rather do this than bunjy jumping!

Roger_E, Feb 2023

A long day in a coach but worth the trip. Wes our guide and driver was informative, helpful and accomodating. In addition to the scheduled visits he added one to Bunji's shelter.

A day at the outback

julianmotha, Feb 2023

It was a good day out in the country. The info on the flyer was misleading. All items listed was not covered. There was no entry fee to the parks. Except for a wallaby and a few emus did not see any other wild life.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hi there, Thanks a lot for your review and sorry to hear the tour did not fully meet your expectations. Unfortunately when it comes to wildlife it's very hard to predict what the day will be like: some days our guests will see emus, kangaroos and wallabies, and some other days they just won't show up. That being said, the Grampians is one of the best spots in the whole country to spot wildlife so the canches of seeing interesting animals are much higher there. We hope you can give it a second chance one day! Kind regards, Luis

Awesome guide and itinerary overcomes substandard equipment

Neal_P, Feb 2023

Our guide, Janet "J-Dog" Archibald was excellent and accommodating. While some reviewers expressed disappointment that roughly half of the tour is spent driving to and from The Grampians and to various lookouts and wildlife viewing areas, we found that the drive and J-Dog's commentary provided an excellent tutorial for us right-side-of-the-road drivers who were renting a motorhome the next day. J-Dog also offered us tips of things to see on our camping trip around the beautiful state of Victoria. To the tour operator: the five-star rating is directed to our guide and the tour itinerary, not the mini-bus we used on the tour; it had a terrible suspension that did little to smooth out the many roadway bumps. The mini-bus was also rather uncomfortable for my 2-meter frame. The seats were placed so close together that, with my bum pushed into the seat as much as possible, my knees were jammed into the seat in front of me. I did find a bit of relief by moving my wife to another row and placing one leg into the aisle and "man-spreading" into the extra seat next to me. Even then, I found it difficult to stay in various contorted positions for long with the jarring, heaving mini-bus suspension bouncing this way and that. I strongly suggest that you consign a more comfortable mini-bus to this drive-intensive tour.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hi Neal, First of all we really appreciate your review, and Janet will love to hear that you had such a wonderful day with her. We apologize if the bus didn't fully meet your expectations: we are constantly upgrading our fleet in order to maximize comfort and safety. We hope your camping trip around Victoria went well and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Kind regards, Luis

Great trip

Janneke_V, Jan 2023

This trip was fantastic. Lovely to be in nature and experience the beautiful grampians and the countryside. Besides that, Dan(dy) was absolutely the best tourguide you could wish for. Great stories, very knowledgeable, playing perfect (Australian) music while sightseeing. Highly recommended this trip.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hi there, Thank you so much for your positive review, we're happy to hear you had a good time on the Grampians Tour! Dandy will be thrilled to read your kind words :) Best regards, Luis

Magnificent Grampians

Evelyn_B, Jan 2023

This tour delivered everything it promised. We had the opportunity to explore the National Park at a relaxed pace. Stops were well-placed and there were plenty of kangaroos and emus to delight the overseas guests on our bus. It was a very full day of activities - we returned to our starting point at 9.30 pm.

jennypennini, Jan 2023

Marj treated us to a wonderful day. The Grampians is a must do for nature lover's and walkers. You need to know your ability to walk to the MacKe

Stunning place

Marina_P, Jan 2023

Although the trip is very tiring as we spend most of the time on the bus, the place is absolutely stunning. One of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. I wish we could've had more time to spend at the waterfalls and be able to go for swim. Other than that, the experience was amazing. The staff was really nice and I could learn some things with them.

Lovely experience !!

mari_h, Dec 2022

Nice weather and nice view ! Kindly guide ! Her talk was very interesting. I enjoyed this tour. I was very happy. Hiking was too hard. But the view was sooo beautiful. It was lovely experience.

Audrey_C, Dec 2022

This unique tour offers various of adventure hiking (creek/wood, waterfalls, rock formations and mountains) experiences in one day, and seeing plenty of animals in nature is precious as well.

Very active tour

Shannon_L, Dec 2022

This was a great tour for me as an active person. A few hikes that we quite rewarding with amazing views. The bike to the falls requires a bit of physical ability. There are 280 steep and uneven steps that even a fit person will have trouble with in the heat. Be prepared and listen to the guide when she says bring water. It was a wonderful tour.
