Enjoy a memorable day in one of Australia's most breathtaking regions! The Great Ocean Road is an adventure full of wildlife, breathtaking scenic views and rainforests.
This Great Ocean Road & 12 Apostles Day Tour from Melbourne is one you and your family will never forget. Twist and snake along one of the world's most scenic coastlines and marvel at all the incredible sights as you pass through popular seaside resort towns like charming Lorne and Anglesea.
Take a photo at the Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch, a tribute to the World War One servicemen who built the Great Ocean Road. Take the kids and enjoy a walk along one of the beautiful beaches and get some sand between your toes.
Take the time to try some “koala spotting” as you'll see how many koalas you can see in the eucalyptus trees. Native animals are certainly not shy in this area with an abundance of koalas, king parrots, rosellas and lorikeets. Get up close and personal with these friendly beautiful birds and look out for the famous kookaburra.
After lunch at Apollo Bay, join a guided bush walk through the Great Otway National Park. In this ancient and cool temperate rainforest you will feel dwarfed as you stroll past some of the tallest trees in Australia.
Our next stop along the Great Ocean Road is Loch Ard Gorge, where you'll find yourself surrounded by towering limestone cliffs. Here you can take another walk along the beach, view the Archway, the Razorback and Dumpling Pots. This area is steeped in history and you will hear stories of romance and heartbreak as our guides re-tell the tale of Australia’s most famous shipwreck.
Then, we save the best stop until last! We'll end the tour with a trip to the incredible 12 Apostles. Take a wander along coastal paths for astonishing views over the ocean as it crashes against the limestone stacks and cliffs. Snap plenty of photos of the 12 Apostles before you jump back on the bus for a journey through rural Victoria back to Melbourne. We'll make a stop in Colac where you can have a quick dinner (own cost).
