Highlights
  • Port Campbell National Park - Take in the amazing Lime Stone cliff face at the 12 Apostles National Park
  • Twelve Apostles Marine National Park - The Twelve Apostles were formed by erosion. The harsh and extreme weather conditions from the Southern Ocean gradually erode the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, which then become arches that eventually collapse, leaving rock stacks up to 50 m
  • The Razorback - One of these astounding rock formations is the Razorback, whose name comes from its jagged, narrow aesthetic. One of the most awe-inspiring natural landmarks in the Port Campbell National Park
  • Gibsons Steps - Explore the beach just near the 12 Apostles below Gog & Magog via a staircase that was built hundreds of years ago, carved into the ancient sandstone cliffs
  • Loch Ard Gorge - Take a stroll alone the dramatic beach tuck away in the Limestone cliffs
  • Apollo Bay - Apollo Bay is one of the most picturesque seaside villages in Australia. Tucked away in the foothills of the incredible Otways, the bay is a haven for water lovers and a chance for you to get lunch.
  • Kennett River - Stop to see the wild koalas and birds in this small sea side town
  • The Lorne Pier - With amazing 360 views and also a chance to see the bird and sea life while exploring the area.

Book it, you won’t regret it! - Our guide, Raph, was amazing. The size of the group (16) was perfect. Easy to manage and everyone was on time. The places we stopped at were incredible and the lunch recommendation was totally worth it. I highly recommend this tour. The reverse itinerary is very smart!

10000%recommend - This is the first time I went on the group tour. To be honest, I was not really expecting it would be the same way as I expected, but you know what, this one is really beyond my expectations!!Raph is the best tour guide in the MEL. I’m 100% sure. The weather wasn’t really good in the morning, but makes our trip more challenging. I have already recommended the tour to my friends, Hope we can meet someday in the future. Best wishes☺️

Must Do If In Melbourne - This was genuinely one the best tours I've ever been on!! It actually feels more like you're going on a trip with friends, rather than a tour - Raph is absolutely amazing - Super chill and easy to talk to! He was born to be a tour guide! I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough!

BEST experience with the BEST guide! - This was one of the BEST tours I have ever done! Our guide, Cam, was possibly the best tour guide I have ever had, any I have done many, many tours! He was super enthusiastic, high energy, and highly knowledgeable, telling us facts all along the way and finding us secret spots/taking us to the popular spots at less busy times to avoid all the tourists. I felt like we saw everything in the 2 days and Cam really made the experience super fun. Great for those new to Australia as Cam ensured we saw all the big Australian animals - koalas, kangaroos, wallabies and even some penguins! Cam is also a talented photographer and took heaps of photos on his camera so we could keep them all at the end. COULD NOT RECOMMEND MORE - 5* experience and a must for all backpackers visiting Melbourne.

Do not miss this experience! - This Great Ocean Road day was one of my favourite days in Australia. A mini bus (rather than a coach) made taking photos at each stop easier due to less people. It also made us chat to everyone who were on similar journeys to ourselves. Our guide Raph made the 12 hour day enjoyable and fun with lots of time to recharge. Would 100% recommend.
