I had an absolutely amazing experience with Go West Tours visiting Wilsons Promontory. The day started with a leisurely trek up to the summit of Mt Bishop, and the views from the top were truly breathtaking. After enjoying lunch, taking plenty of photos and selfies, we headed back down and made our way to Squeaky Beach. Walking on sand that actually squeaks beneath your feet is such a bizarre and fun experience! The beach itself was stunning, and it was the perfect spot to cool off with a refreshing dip in the sea. From there we continued along Squeaky Beach and took another relaxing walk over to Tidal River, where we were lucky enough to spot a wallaby. After that, our wonderful guide Jacqui took us to the Prom Wildlife Walk, a short loop that turned out to be the perfect way to end the day. Thanks to Jacqui’s sharp eyes and knowledge, we saw emus, a wombat, and plenty of kangaroos. A massive thank you to Jacqui for making the whole day so enjoyable. She was incredibly friendly, upbeat, and enthusiastic, and her knowledge of Melbourne’s culture, Wilsons Promontory, and the local wildlife was fascinating. I learned so much more than I ever would have if I had explored the area on my own. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne — it’s absolutely worth the experience! Thank you Jacqui and the Go West team for such a fantastic day.
