My wife and I took the tour with Dianne on Anzac Day. As trading hours were different to normal Dianne was flexible enough to change her normal start time and shuffle venues to accommodate. Every venue we visited had something unique to offer and lunch was great. The transport was clean and comfortable and Dianne's local knowledge was excellent. Take the tour, it's one you won't regret.

10/10. The tour was informative, interesting and so so fun. The WTT team help you out so much with your travel plans as well as giving great advise if you’re looking to continue Aussie life working. WTT set you up with an Aussie SIM card, bank account and give you a two hour one on one to determine what you may wish to do once the trip has ended. Great help if you’re unsure what your plans are. The tour itself is so much fun and great value for money. Billy is a great guide with a good sense of humour, the trip was jam packed but never rushed and very relaxed. Surfing was a particular highlight for me personally and I can’t wait to take what I’ve learned from the lesson to the great ocean road (a trip WTT helped with too!) We made great friends along the way too. #Steffen65 eating 65 dumplings at the all you can eat dumpling restaurant was a very amusing highlight ❤️ Thank you guys for a fabulous week!!

To top off the day, we take a waddle on the wild side to see hundreds (sometimes thousands) of penguins emerge from the surf at sunset at the world-famous Penguin Parade. This experience is a wildlife lover’s dream! Have your camera ready.

It's one thing to go to an amazing place of natural beauty and Wilson's Prom NP certainly packs a punch and ticks that box with great hiking trails, beautiful vistas, green valleys, sandy and secluded beaches, and lots of wildlife. But to go there with a tour that manages to squeeze all that in one day without making you feel exhausted so you can truly appreciate your visit takes a real expert 9adn that's where Hike and Seek tick all the boxes!). Special thanks to the tour guide Michael, who could answer any queries and engaged with all participants to make us feel part of the team. It is a long day (and more so for the tour guides) as the drive to Wilson's Prom is almost 3 hours each way from Melbourne so make sure you have a book with you (you will have your own light and air condition vent in the minibus!) or download earlier some good podcasts to watch (you will travel through places with no or poor internet access so be prepared).
