Excellent - It was a memorable trip. The group was small as claimed, with no more than 9 participants. So, everyone could get to know one another while enjoying the experience.

Best tour we did in Melbourne! - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Australia. Everything went perfeclty: the car was comfortable and spacious, the group size was small enough that we got to know the other guests but also allowed us to keep to ourselves if we felt like it. Views were astounding, undoubtedly some of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen! Our tour guide Shane was great and knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us. We spotted emus, wombats and kangurus and saw them up close and running free, which was a much better experience than the wildlife sancutaries. We could not recommend Hike and Seek enough!

Absolutely stunning!!! - One of the most memorable days in Melbourne was the hiking tour to Wilson's Promonotory. Shane our guide was knowledgeable, gave us very helpful tips on how to walk on the sand dunes and knew the perfect place to spot the animals in their natural habitat. Our first hike was at The Great Drift. It's absolutely impressive, like being on another planet. At our second hike of the day at Mt. Oberon, Shane suggested that we carry our lunch, and nothing could have been better than sitting way up there on the highest point,on the huge boulders and having a picnic of delicious sandwiches on this beautiful clear day. I must mention that the sandwiches were very tasty. We purchased them on our first stop at Kelly's Bakery at Korumburra. After lunch and lots of photo sessions we were back down at Squeaky beach, which was very squeaky indeed and our tour group had loads of fun trying to make the squeaking sounds on the sand. The beach itself is picturesque and the waters an amazing shades of blue. The tour ended with an extra excitement and enthusiasm of spotting kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, emus and many birds in their natural habitat. Certainly a funfilled and a fulfilling day.
