What to expect
Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery
Rise 'n shine with morning juice & traditional Anzac biscuits on us to learn the heartfelt history of this iconic road that has just begun. Plus enjoy free tastings at the huge gourmet Chocolaterie. Pickup snacks for the day if you wish or enjoy real barista coffee/tea/indulgent hot chocolate from the cafe with fresh baked croissants, scones or decadent slices.
Anglesea
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.
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)
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.
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. Lastly, enjoy snack refreshments if you wish (card only) including local made Timboon Ice Cream, or a souvenir before the return journey to the city begins through the farming countryside with plenty of time to relax after a big day of exploring & share your photos of lifelong memories made
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
