Your tour experience
Begin your scenic road trip
Set off from Melbourne in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with your bilingual driver guide. Relax as you travel alongside the southern coastline, taking in dramatic cliffs and rolling surf. Your adventure begins with a stop at Anglesea for a morning break, a chance to enjoy the fresh sea air before the day’s highlights.
Visit iconic lighthouses and historical sites
The next stop is Split Point Lighthouse, where you’ll ascend for beautiful panoramic views of the famed Bass Strait and snap memorable photos of rugged coastal scenery. Continue to the Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch, a tribute to the returned soldiers who constructed this iconic roadway. Pause here for photos with the arch and nearby memorial statues before continuing along the winding route.
Encounter wildlife and vibrant towns
Your journey takes you through the surfing town of Lorne, before pulling over at Barham Reserve for a chance to observe wild koalas in their native setting. Watch the treetops for these Australian icons, and keep your camera ready for sightings of colourful local birds. The route continues to Apollo Bay, a welcoming coastal village, where you can purchase lunch at your leisure (not included).
Marvel at natural wonders
The afternoon brings you to the region’s most renowned site: the Twelve Apostles. Stand before these awe-inspiring limestone stacks rising dramatically from the Southern Ocean. Afterward, visit Loch Ard Gorge, where your guide shares the gripping history of the 19th-century shipwreck that gives the cove its name. Trace the footsteps of survivors, listen to tales of maritime triumph and tragedy and take in scenery featured in films and television.
Return with memories
From Loch Ard Gorge, your route winds back to Melbourne as dusk falls. Enjoy coastal views from your seat and reflect on a day filled with adventure, nature and history before drop-off in the city.
