• Colac - Begin your adventure with a coffee break in Colac, the gateway to the Great Ocean Road region and home to Lake Colac, one of Victoria’s largest natural lakes. It’s an ideal spot to stretch your legs, enjoy a delicious coffee, and get your first taste of regional Victoria before embarking on one of the world’s most iconic coastal drives.
• Twelve Apostles - Witness one of the world’s most stunning natural wonders — eight majestic limestone stacks rising dramatically from the Southern Ocean. By taking the reverse route, you arrive before the crowds, allowing for more space, better lighting, and a more intimate experience at one of Australia’s most famous landmarks.
• Loch Ard Gorge - Experience one of the most striking and haunting landscapes along the Great Ocean Road — Loch Ard Gorge, a breathtaking natural inlet of turquoise water framed by towering limestone cliffs. Named after the iron clipper ship Loch Ard, which tragically wrecked here in 1878, claiming 52 of the 54 lives on board. Your guide will share the incredible survival story of the only two survivors — teenagers Tom Pearce and Eva Carmichael — who reached the shore through the gorge. A place of extraordinary beauty with an equally extraordinary story.
• Great Otway National Park - Journey through the magnificent Great Otway National Park — a lush ancient rainforest of towering Mountain Ash, myrtle beech, and tree ferns that provide a dramatic contrast to the rugged coastal scenery.
• Mait’s Rest - Immerse yourself in one of Victoria’s most enchanting ancient rainforests on a short walk through Maits Rest — a stunning boardwalk trail winding through towering Mountain Ash trees, myrtle beech, and ancient tree ferns, some over 300 years old. This peaceful and humbling rainforest walk is a hidden gem of the Great Ocean Road that many visitors miss, offering a serene contrast to the dramatic coastal scenery.
• Apollo Bay - Enjoy a lunch break in the charming coastal town of Apollo Bay — nestled between the rolling Otway Ranges and the Southern Ocean. Choose from a fantastic selection of cafes and restaurants on the main street. Your guide will recommend the best local spots based on your preferences and appetite.
• Teddy’s Lookout - Situated high above the Great Ocean Road, Teddy’s Lookout in Lorne offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of the entire coastline — a sweeping vista of the rugged Southern Ocean stretching as far as the eye can see. A short walk from the car park rewards you with an uninterrupted view that perfectly captures the raw, dramatic beauty of this iconic stretch of Australian coastline. A fantastic photo opportunity of the day.
• Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway - Your final stop before returning to Melbourne — the iconic Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch at Eastern View. Constructed by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932, the Great Ocean Road is the world’s largest war memorial, dedicated to the soldiers who fought and died in World War One. The arch marks the official start of the Great Ocean Road and is one of the most photographed landmarks along the entire route.
• Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery - The perfect final stop before heading back to Melbourne — the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery near Bellbrae. Explore an incredible selection of handcrafted Belgian chocolates, artisan fudge, ice cream, and sweet treats made on site. It’s a wonderful opportunity to pick up gifts and souvenirs, enjoy a sweet treat, and take a final comfort break before the return journey to Melbourne. The perfect sweet ending to an extraordinary day on the Great Ocean Road.
