Port Campbell National Park

Take in the amazing Lime Stone cliff face at the 12 Apostles 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

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

Admission Included

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!

It's a big day! It's a long day! Thank you Raph, must be visited place in Melbourne. Raph is a really nice and gentle person. He bring us a great one day experience accross the Great Ocean Road.

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☺️

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!

Lang_Z

Great experience!! Raph was really friendly and warm-hearted. We have seen wild koalas and kangaroos, and it was an exciting tour!

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.

A nice trip. The guide is very easygoing and warmhearted. The whole trip he has showed us a lot of interesting stuff. For a one-day trip, it definitely worth

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.

Emily_W

Fab experience driving the Great Ocean Road. Raph was a great tour guide, very informative, chatty, relaxed and helpful with recommendations for other things to do in Melbourne! Would recommend to any backpackers looking for a day trip while staying in the city

This tour was great, hitting all the highlights of the Great Ocean Road in one day! Our tour guide Raf was amazing and so helpful and friendly throughout the day, always on hand to give interesting information, helpful tips and always happy to take snaps of us having the time of our lives checking out all the spots! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to do the Great Ocean Road and will be recommending to all my friends!
