Additional Information

This expedition covers all well-known as well as lesser-known spots along the Great Ocean Road.

We commence our journey from Melbourne towards the Great Ocean Road. The morning is punctuated by several halts as we traverse the cliffside route of the Great Ocean Road. These breaks include savoring morning tea at a beach, capturing scenic views in photos, and engaging in nature walks to spot Koalas and vibrant King Parrots.

Our lunch halt is at the charming seaside town of Apollo Bay, where you get the opportunity to discover the place and grab a bite. Post-lunch, our course runs through the Otway Ranges.

Next, we approach the shipwreck coast to behold the breathtaking 12 Apostles. As one of Australia’s acclaimed tourist attractions, the 12 Apostles are truly remarkable. Our final halt along the Great Ocean Road is the Loch Ard Gorge. Descend the staircase to appreciate the gorge, its sandstone cliffs, the incredible beach and the sea cave.

Our journey concludes with a return to Melbourne, stopping over at the town of Colac for some revitalizing snacks.

Great! - Amazing view! We were lucky to have a funny and safe driver Mr Bert. This tour is well recommended. Do note that there is limited time so it’s just a 20-30min stop per destination which is a bit fast for myself haha 😆 we can lengthen the timing a bit tho i know traffic can be worse when you follow the timing of the rest of the crowd

Great day trip - Seamless, worry free day trip and we were able to see what we wanted to see. It was a long full day. It would have been perfect if we could be given a bit more time for lunch.

LONG day but saw so much, fun times with Burt our driver/guide - A good 12-13 hour tour from downtown Melbourne pick up, and had many stops along the way with adequate bathroom stops, lunch, koala sightings, rainforest trek, Loch Ard Gorge and finally the 12 Apostles, many laughs and fun time with Burt our driver - full bus of 39 people in total. Definitely recommend this tour, many different photo ops and adequate time at each location 👌
