Great Ocean Road to Lorne beaches & waterfall Melbourne Day Tour

Rise 'n shine at Australia's surfing mecca (& the official start to the Great Ocean Road) with morning juice & traditional Anzac biscuits to learn the heartfelt history of this iconic road.

After we drive you to see the sights of Torquay you can choose how you want to spend the morning here like a local from options like: National Surfing Museum, surf mega-brand plaza or outlet shopping for bargains, cafe coffee or brunch on the beach, maybe a coast walk to Rocky Point surfer-watching

Indulge at a huge Chocolaterie with fresh made pastries, scones, croissants & ice cream after free tastings, there's something for everyone with literally thousands to choose from, or take the beautiful garden view in to resist temptation or have brought along your own food to enjoy.

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

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.

Drive along this spectacular section of the coast-hugging road to view its glory - from the ocean to the forest.

Capture a stunning photo from an elevated lookout over the Great Ocean Road where the forest range meets the sea.

Relax under the tree ferns & eucalypts surrounding this pretty waterfall standing 30 metres tall in front of black basalt rock after we drive the blissful tree-lined forest streets to arrive.

Optional activity: Live Wire Park, we can transfer you to & from the park just out of Lorne for adrenaline adventure in the forest - like ziplining or trampoline fun! Pay them direct for Admission currently $12 Adult/$10 Child or chose a package for circuit or ziplining activities that includes it. Note some options require pre-booking your ticket so we can help you do this in the morning, for groups we recommend you contact us before the tour day to arrange). You can spend time here instead of Lorne beach/town or waterfall if you wish up to 2.5hrs

Immerse into the beauty of Lorne... an ocean bay enveloped in gum trees, you can wander over the rock pools to the pier, or the other direction along pine tree avenue to reach the old swing bridge & teahouse. Lorne is a slice of paradise & the perfect afternoon setting for your choice of fun or lunch dining at restaurants, pubs, cafe's, maybe take fish 'n chips or fresh bakery delights to the grassy foreshore for a picnic before a leisurely swim in the pristine bay water. Perhaps a spot of boutique coastal shopping & local wine-tasting is more your style? Do as much, or as little as YOU like on your day, before we return to Melbourne around 5:30pm to commence the hotel drops.
