点评:I came on a bus tour about 10 years ago. I was blown away (quite literally on some occasions!) on a windy winters day. Thankfully this time around it was October, and we enjoyed a much calmer sunnier day. Beautiful for photography.
We also choose to step it up a gear and opt for a private tour. This turned out to be a great call. Michael was our guide and driver for the day. He was a real local. Knew his history. Knew the little inside knowledge that we may have missed out on. We also opted for the 13 hour tour, which meant we got away early - 6:30am - so we had all the stops to ourselves, except the 12 Apostles, but even then there was only a few people. The extra hour on the road was totally worth it.
I know most tours leave at around 8 or 9am but why would you want to join the crush of tourists at each venue? Going early was a great idea, and we slept on the way back (arduous 3 hour journey back to Melbourne in the late afternoon).
翻译:大约 10 年前,我参加了一次巴士旅行。在一个多风的冬日,我被吹走了(在某些情况下确实如此!)。值得庆幸的是,这次是十月,我们度过了一个更加平静、阳光明媚的日子。美丽的摄影。
我们还选择升级装备并选择私人旅游。事实证明这是一个很棒的决定。迈克尔是我们当天的向导和司机。他是一个真正的当地人。知道他的历史。知道我们可能错过的一些内部知识。我们还选择了 13 小时的游览,这意味着我们很早就离开了 - 早上 6:30 - 所以除了 12 使徒岩之外,我们所有的站点都是我们自己的,但即便如此,也只有少数人。在路上多花一个小时是完全值得的。
我知道大多数旅行团在早上 8 点或 9 点左右离开,但您为什么要加入每个地点的游客群?早点去是个好主意,我们在回来的路上睡着了(下午晚些时候回到墨尔本的艰苦 3 小时旅程)。
