I was so pleased with taking the sunset trip although the day is long nearly 12 hours, the views at each of the stops are incredible. The van is snug but I liked that it could only hold 24 people. The roads are winding which doesn't help weak stomachs, but the experience is worth it. Really pleased all around great value for your money.</p>

AMAZING fun trip! - Firstly: I can't understand those who say that it was a long drive. Yes, of course you have to get there but the drive was nicely done and entertained!
Chris is an amazing guy, I already miss him. (Chris if you see this: I was your co-pilot mate!)
The tour is in a small bus so you'll get there quite fast and have a good view. The sunset is AMAZING and you will see koalas and wallabies on your way. One thing which could be improved is that they could provide a little dinner-snack.
The tour was worth every dollar!

It is a long day but our guide , sorry forgot his name, was excellent. The only Aussie we met who could talk knowledgeably and supportively of aboriginal culture. Plenty information but not overloaded through the trip . Sufficient food and loo stops .<br/>
Plenty time at the 12 apostles to take photos of the sunset. It was an awful lot of driving and I am glad and better informed from having taken this trip than from attempting to do it myself by hire car. <br/>
Aside from the apostles this is a stunning coast , not to be missed.</p>

I wouldn't recommend this trip to anyone.</p>

Awful experience - The bus was old and dirty, broke down in the middle of the excursion. Did not stop in all the spots they advertise, no wifi in the bus as offered. Moreover, we had a 30cm window to see the views. Not recommended at all.
