Peter is an amazing guide. He thoroughly entertained us and provided us with very useful information through his commentary. He made our journey very comfortable and enjoyable. The tour had regular stops in between which provided us with ample time for refreshment and for breaks. I would say this was for me and my family the best tour we had and Peter had a big hand in it. I am already looking forward to having future tours with Explore Australia and hopefully with Peter :)

お天気良く最高でした。シニア夫婦なので長時間のツアーは諦めていましたが、素敵な女性ガイド兼ドライバーLeahさん、他インド人家族3人の少人数。9人乗りバスもゆったり、6時半定刻にスタート、質問にもきちんと返答し見所をしっかりサポートしてくれます。運転も上手く、最初の休憩時は外は、肌寒くモーニングティーで身体が温まり、走る道すがら虹を何度も見て、コアラを探したりいろんな色のオウムを至近距離で見る頃には気温も上がり、アポロベイで昼食、自分達で店もチョイスできますが、中華を店内でゆっくり食べる時間がありました。 ロードは続きますが飽きる事なく景色が変わります。メインのグレートオーシャンロード、12使徒の場所では、風も弱く日差しも強い時間になり、奇岩群のダイナミックな姿、穏やかな波間に、キラキラ光がさす景色、一つ一つの景観が絵画のように美しく日差しの角度や、時間の経過距離で刻々と表情がかわり見飽きることがなく、波の音や、風の感触、広がる水平線を感じながら、自然と一体になれる時間を充分とってくれました。圧巻です。 最後はギブソンステップ、階段を降り波と岩に近づけました、夕方近くになると波が少し荒くなりましたが、上から見下ろす奇岩と浜辺で見る景色は別格です。 裸足で歩いてみました。砂浜も心地よく、波と戯れ童心にかえりました。 その後トイレ休憩を2回で市内ホテルに送迎でした。 長時間ツアーですが、本当に堪能したツアーでした。 良い天気に恵まれ、素敵なツアーガイド兼ドライバーLeah、同乗のインド人家族に感謝です。 Miss Leah thanks for your showing us around
