Discover the Great Ocean Road Sunset Tour from Melbourne, the perfect way to explore Victoria’s iconic coastline with fewer crowds and golden afternoon light. Visit highlights including Anglesea, the Memorial Archway, and Loch Ard Gorge, while keeping an eye out for wild koalas in their natural habitat. The journey ends with the breathtaking sight of the Twelve Apostles at sunset, a truly unforgettable finale before returning to Melbourne.
Set off from Melbourne and ease into one of the world’s most scenic coastal drives along the Great Ocean Road, where every turn reveals something new.
We begin with a stop in a relaxed seaside town, a local favourite known for its calm atmosphere and beautiful beaches. It’s the perfect introduction to the journey, time to breathe in the ocean air and settle into the day ahead. From here, we visit the iconic Memorial Arch, the official gateway to the Great Ocean Road and a must-stop photo location steeped in history.
Continuing along the coastline, we head inland to the eucalyptus forests, where the experience slows and nature takes centre stage. Keep an eye out for wild koalas resting quietly among the trees as your guide helps you spot these incredible animals in their natural habitat.
As the scenery becomes more dramatic, we arrive at Loch Ard Gorge, one of the most striking locations along the coast. Surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and a sheltered beach, this site is rich with history, including the story of one of Australia’s most well-known shipwrecks.
In the evening, we reach the world-famous Twelve Apostles just in time for sunset. Watch as the golden light transforms these iconic rock formations rising from the Southern Ocean—an unforgettable highlight and the perfect way to end the day.
After sunset, relax on the journey back to Melbourne, arriving later in the evening with lasting memories of the coastline at its most beautiful.
During the day, we’ll make short stops for both lunch and dinner, giving you time to purchase food along the way. Please note that timings and locations may vary depending on the season.
