Anglesea

(Pass by)

Drive past where the kangaroo's hang-out to see who wants their photo taken today.

Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway

We'll help you snap an album-cover-worthy photo next to the Memorial Arch statue & road sign, before the jaw-dropping coast-hugging scenery of this magnificent journey opens up

Great Ocean Road

Drive along this spectacular coast-hugging road with elevated seating above the roadside shrubs to view all its glory - from the ocean to the forest, making visits along the way to not miss highlights & a brilliant photo high above at the Cape Patton lookout

Lorne

Take a rest under gum trees enveloping this stunning bay view where the forest meets the sea, perhaps with cockatoos or Kookaburra's 'laughing'.

Apollo Bay

Delicious lunch options in this seaside town - we'll point out the treasures! You can grab take-aways for a beach picnic, maybe a swim too if you brought your bathers... or just kick off the shoes for a stroll along Australia's recently voted top 3 beaches :)

Mait's Rest

Step inside an ancient rainforest for a moment to feel like you're in another world, yet it's only minutes inside the Great Otway's National Park as the famous road now veers into the countryside for a change of scenery. Keep your eye's up to maybe spot cute Koala at the carpark as a bonus.

Admission Included

Great Otway National Park

Journey under the canopy of giant Mountain Ash gum trees & ferns, changing into Beech & Blackwood forests to continue along the Great Ocean Road to reach the 12 Apostles grand finale coastline.

Gibsons Steps

View from the top, or be rewarded for conquering the grand sea cliff steps with an unforgettable feeling at the shoreline. (Note if access is closed due to conditions we will visit the Thunder Cave later instead)

Admission Included

Loch Ard Gorge

A true jewel in this National Park's crown, wander to majestic lookouts of your choice including the Island Archway & the Razorback - a beast of a view when raging seas swell. Maybe spot echidna scurrying near the paths for ants, or wallabies peeking their heads up in the bush.

Admission Included

Twelve Apostles

Be mesmerized by the alluring '12 Apostles' rock formations - the drawcard of this National Park wonderland. If a helicopter ride here is of interest to you let us know to pre-arrange a booking for you.

Despite unforecasted rainy weather in the afternoon, this was an amazing day and was very much as described and advertised. Our guide, Kel, was fabulous, providing great knowledge, keeping us upbeat when the rain came in, and providing a super playlist between the commentaries and stops. Other reviews mention legroom on the minibus, but as a 6'2" bloke with long legs, I didn't find it a problem. This is a must do trip if visiting Melbourne. The rainforest was perhaps our favourite part of the day given the rain putting a damper on the 12 Apostles stops. But the views of the coastline are breathtaking enough to make this long day worth it. Finally, for anyone with a shellfish allergy, Waves in Apollo Bay (lunch stop) is a contemporary cafe/restaurant with excellent sandwich and coffee choices and no shellfish at all!

Kel, our tour guide was absolutely phenomenal! From the get go from our hotel pick up all the way through to end of the day drop off, she was an absolute superstar and made the whole trip so enjoyable, comfortable and completely exceeded our expectations. Usually I steer away from group guided tours and like to enjoy things at my own pace, but I’m so glad I went with this tour because we got to see so many things in one day and Kelsey sure we had time to do our own thing during some stops too. Can confidently recommend, must do if you’re after the best tour with the best guide possible! Thank you a million, Kel, you’re a star!

Kel is a champion of the Great Ocean Road trip. She was very knowledgeable about the entire area, able to spot koala bears and navigate traffic/parking on an Easter weekend. Thanks for a great trip.

Nikita_B

Kel is the best! She explained everything, every small details! We saw kangaroos and koalas, enjoyed coffee breaks and beach views.

Angie_N

We saw edchina at the entrance to the Loch Ard Gorge. Kelly is a fantastic guide. She is very cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable. She drive us to see the kangaroos before stopping at the chocolatier and ice Creamery. We also spotted koala just at the car park of the entrance. Every stops for photo opportunities are beautiful! Love the tour! Would highly recommend this tour!

Sarah W

It is a long time on a coach but a great day, we had great views, a walk through the rain forest, koalas up trees, kangaroos, a stop for chocolate and a stop for lunch the 12 apostles look beautiful. And I can't not mention our brilliant driver/tour guide Kel, she was amazing. Thank you 👍

DuaneP_L

Beautiful views of ocean and rainforest. Excellent guide, Kel. Fun visits to chocolatier and restaurants.

David_S

The tour was really nice and Kel the tour leader was exceptional.! She was very composed, humorous, knowledgeable and was able to gauge her audience’s well and adapted accordingly which is a skill in itself. Overall a tour thats definitely well worth its value!

Raleighdc

The only issue I have is the time at the Gorge and 12 Apostles are too short. I had to walk very fast to be able to see the views and take pictures.

Line_N

Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Kel was a super guide. Very knowledgeable and professional. Excellent driver as well... Managed time very well and handled latecomers tactfully but firmly early on so this would not become a pain throughout the day. Her music selection between explanations worked so well with the scenery and time of day. And of course, all sites visited were exceptionnal. The 12 hours just flew by. Thank you Kel. Keep up the good spirits.
