FAQs

What sort of bus will we be travelling on?

This tour transports guests in comfortable, clean minibuses with air conditioning. They are perfect for this style of tour, but they are not large coach buses.

Can I bring my luggage on this tour?

No, you cannot bring your luggage on this tour. As this tour caters to backpackers and budget travellers, operators keep their costs as low as possible to keep the price of the tour down.

Adding a trailer for luggage is an unnecessary cost for a 1-day tour. If you are having trouble storing your luggage, email or call Ride Tours in the days before the tour for advice or assistance.

Does this tour have an age restriction?

Yes, this tour is designed and tailored for people aged 18-35 years old.

What time will we get back to Melbourne?

This tour aims to get guests back to the city for between 7:30pm and 8pm, which of course can change if we are held up during the day for any reason and this may delay getting home.

What food is provided on this tour?

Afternoon tea, coffee and biscuits are provided on this tour. There will be a lunch stop at Apollo Bay, but this will be at your own expense.

What should I bring with me?

Make sure to pack a water bottle, your bathers and a towel in the summer, and a jacket or warm clothes for the evening.
