Enjoy a guided journey along Victoria’s famous Great Ocean Road, where every turn reveals stunning beaches, dramatic cliffs, and lush rainforest. This full-day adventure blends coastal highlights with unique wildlife encounters and breathtaking natural landmarks.
The road begins at Torquay, the surfing capital of Australia, where we pause for morning tea by the beach as surfers ride the waves. We continue on to the Memorial Arch, the symbolic gateway to the Great Ocean Road, before heading into the search of wild koalas resting in eucalyptus trees.
As the road winds along the coast, we stop at scenic lookouts for sweeping ocean views before reaching Apollo Bay, a laid-back seaside town perfect for lunch and a stroll by the water. From there, we step into the cool shade of the Otway Ranges with a short rainforest walk through towering trees and ancient ferns at Maits Rest.
The afternoon is dedicated to some of Victoria’s most iconic sights. At Port Campbell National Park, walk to the lookout of the world-famous Twelve Apostles rise dramatically from the Southern Ocean, or choose to walk down Gibson Steps offers a close-up view of the cliffs and crashing waves. Nearby, we’ll also travel to Loch Ard Gorge which reveals striking rock formations and a fascinating shipwreck history.
As the day winds down, we make a final stop in Colac for a short dinner stop before returning to Melbourne, filled with memories of one of Australia’s most spectacular coastal journeys.
