We had an incredible time with Hide & Seek tour company, and we can't recommend them highly enough! From the moment we arrived, Michael greeted us with a warm welcome, and his cheerful personality and wealth of knowledge added to the already fantastic experience. He provided us with a detailed itinerary for the day and even served us a delicious cup of coffee to start our adventure.
The tour commenced with a hike to the Big Drift, followed by a quick stop for a bite to eat, and then a hike to the top of Mt Oberon. The view from the top was breathtaking, and Michael's knowledge of the area made it even more enjoyable. The day ended at Squeaky Beach, where we were delighted with a little safari to see kangaroos, wombats, and emus.
Michael, our knowledgeable and friendly guide, was the highlight of the tour. He shared his expertise on the environment and made sure that we had a fantastic time. The small group size, with a maximum of eight people in a spacious van, made the experience intimate and personalized.
Although it was Michael's last tour for a while, we are so grateful that we had the opportunity to experience Wilsons Promontory National Park with Hide & Seek tour company. Their exceptional service, knowledgeable guide, and warm hospitality made it a day we will never forget. We give them a 10/10 rating and will definitely be back for more adventures with Hide & Seek!

Amazing day trip thanks to Shane! The views were spectacular and we saw loads of Aussie wildlife - emus, kangaroos, blue tongue lizards! The sand dune walk was gorgeous and the hike up mt Oberon was a little tough but massively worth the views from the top. Squeaky beach was a lovely way to finish off the hiking, having a dip in the water! 10/10 would recommend hike and seek, nice group size and it was obvious that Shane genuinely loves doing the tour, giving us info about Australian wildlife and his favourite hikes around the area. The small group setting is the perfect amount of people so that everyone gets to know each other and solo travelers will be included

After having spent the last 2 birthdays in lockdown, l decided to spend this one enjoying the great outdoors. The Wilsons prom hiking trip was a 7 hour both ways driving ordeal with no music, chatter or WiFi onboard, making the journey dull and lifeless. The driver and tour operator Michael was rude and unprofessional and not a great lover of free speech. He felt it was part of his job description to intervene and contradict my views throughout the trip. Having gone on many road trips around Victoria with other tour operators, this was by far, the worst experience l have ever had. I soon discovered that the owner, James, has no complaint process in his business model. In fact, he declined to take any complaints from paying customers in order to improve service. It was quite extraordinary to witness. It's a birthday l will never forget for all the wrong reasons. Whether a local, domestic or international traveller, l couldn't recommend this business any less.

This review is purely based on the group and Michael not agreeing with your conspiracy views.
Michael has been with Hike & Seek for 6 years and has never received anything less than a 5-star review. And Michael has 100's reviews. He is very professional and caring and I have no doubt that he was nothing less than accommodating and inclusive. Everyone is entitled to free speech, the issue was you were telling other paying customers that they were brained washed, dumb and calling them sheep. We have no place for this behaviour on our tours.
I've spoken with other guests who were on tour with you this day and they confirmed your nature, you were aggressive, rude and confrontational. I was speaking with Michael during the day about your behaviour via Slack and how he should handle the situation. There was nothing we could have done to make you enjoy this experience. You were clearly bent on getting your views across to everyone on this tour rather than enjoying the experience for what it was.
I instructed Michael to cut the tour short and return to Melbourne if your behaviour got too unbearable for the other paying customers.
I was well aware of who you were when you called me and reported Michael. Yes, we do have a complaints process but quite frankly, I had nothing to say to you as you were clearly the troublemaker and threatened me over the phone. You stated that you would send our company bankrupt. This just confirmed what I had heard from the group and Michael.
You are not welcome on our tours in the future. It's a shame that you couldn't look past your aggressive theories and views on the world and just appreciate a day out in nature with lovely people.
We as a company are a firm believer in freedom of speech, and differences in cultural backgrounds, religion or sexual and gender preferences. We are not believers in disrespect, dishonesty and hostile behaviour.

The day trip organised by Hike and Seek to Wilson's prom was comfortable and well planned, with all of us in awe of the amazing views of the area. Pick up and drop off is from Melbourne CBD, making it convenient for people in the city to travel. James was friendly and knowledgeable, and made our trip much better with his easy going nature. The hikes are perfect for beginners, though the last stretch of the big drift was a little tricky. However, the trip is planned in such a way that you never feel rushed, and everyone can take their time to get to the end while enjoying the journey. The views from Mount Oberon were definitely worth the hike
We started off with the big drift as a warm up, then did the mt Oberon summit track, and ended the day by relaxing at squeaky beach before heading back to Melbourne. A great way to spend the day and take a break from the city

We had a wonderful time on our trip. The guide was extremely personable. You could sense she had a genuine passion for guiding us through the beautiful area and for getting to know the people in the group. The van we drove to the hikes was clean and well kept with treats of coffee, tea, and small homemade energy ball snacks, bananas and fresh water in the back. The timing of the itinerary made for a perfect full day of hiking to majestic views, dipping into the water at an epically stunning beach, as well as taking an end of the day nature walk where we encountered a wombat, several large kangaroos, and even a snake (at a safe distance).

Fun hiking tour! The hikes weren’t too bad. The weather was cloudy, but the trip was still very enjoyable. Marcus is a great tour guide and I liked that the tour had only 8 people instead of a giant tour bus. It makes talking to everyone a lot easier

A perfect way to explore a sample of Wilson's Prom because you hand over the driving and logistics to a great tour company. It is a full day - 12 hours return, making this a good value for money trip.
Small group with maximum 9 guests (we were of group of 5). Very clean vehicle and personable guide - Mike!
Thank you Hike and Seek, I will be a return guest.

Great day trip to Wilson’s Prom which included several varied hikes. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, transport was clean and comfy, and snacks and warm drinks were provided. I’d highly recommend Hike & Seek to anyone wanting to get out and explore with a group.

It's one thing to go to an amazing place of natural beauty and Wilson's Prom NP certainly packs a punch and ticks that box with great hiking trails, beautiful vistas, green valleys, sandy and secluded beaches, and lots of wildlife. But to go there with a tour that manages to squeeze all that in one day without making you feel exhausted so you can truly appreciate your visit takes a real expert 9adn that's where Hike and Seek tick all the boxes!).
Special thanks to the tour guide Michael, who could answer any queries and engaged with all participants to make us feel part of the team.
It is a long day (and more so for the tour guides) as the drive to Wilson's Prom is almost 3 hours each way from Melbourne so make sure you have a book with you (you will have your own light and air condition vent in the minibus!) or download earlier some good podcasts to watch (you will travel through places with no or poor internet access so be prepared).

Can you tell me how much of an opportunity there is to see wildlife like koalas and wombats? Is it just in passing as we hike? Or is there also a deliberate effort to stop/search/find them? Also, how rigorous are the two hikes? Require hiking boots? Elevation gain?
