Highlights
  • The Grotto - As one of the most enchanting formations of the Great Ocean Road, we believe this is a must for anyone visiting the area,
  • London Bridge - Ever heard of the song ‘London Bridge is falling down’? The London Bridge was once connected to the mainland by Arches and although one remains, this is stunning scenery.
  • Loch Ard Gorge - Loch Ard Gorge is a treasure trove of natural beauty, coastal wilderness and maritime history. Take some time to wander the trails, exploring the blowholes, offshore limestone stacks and towering cliffs. Visit at dusk to watch the short-tailed shearwaters (muttonbirds) fly home. Hear the story of the Loch Ard shipwreck and learn about the rich maritime history of the area at the nearby Port Campbell Visitor Information Centre.
  • Twelve Apostles - Witness the rugged splendour of the famous 12 Apostles, magnificent rock stacks that rise up majestically from the Southern Ocean on Victoria’s dramatic coastline.

Created by constant erosion of the limestone cliffs of the mainland beginning 10–20 million years ago, the stormy Southern Ocean and blasting winds gradually eroded the softer limestone, forming caves in the cliffs.

The caves eventually became arches and when they collapsed rock stacks up to 45 metres high were left isolated from the shore

  • Gibsons Steps - You can take a walk down these steps to the beach below for the most amazing views.
  • Apollo Bay - We stop here for lunch, where you will have the choice to buy your own lunch at one of the eateries.
  • Teddy’s Lookout - Our favourite stop will take your breath away as it is the highest point on our tour.
  • Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway - We stop here to learn more about the history of the Great Ocean road construction and the dedication to the men that built it.
  • Great Ocean Road - Enjoy scenic views and the history of the Australian National Heritage-listed Great Ocean Road.

The best option to see the Great Ocean Road - Melvin was our guide and driver doing the reverse circuit of the popular stops along the Great Ocean route. He is both passionate and quite knowledgeable on all subjects related to this tour. He picked us directly at where we were staying versus other operators will have you go to a few predetermined pick up spots. He arrived in a comfortable Mercedes Benz Touring Van and due to it being low season - it was an unexpected "private" outing. He still goes even if it just your party that even signed up for that date. Naturally you can arrange true private tours with him ahead of time if that's your intent. He is quite mindful of timing and keeping to schedule to ensure enough time is allocated for each stop. It is a long day's outing and his reverse circuit is timed to not hit certain stops when the other outfits are bringing their clients on the more common route. Highly recommend and guarantee you will enjoy this holiday highlight. Thank you Melvin!
