What to Expect
A perfect day trip along the coast, checking out Twelve Apostles' limestone stacks, visiting Loch Ard Gorge and learning about its tragic history, checking out Apollo Bay, the rainforest, and seeing some koalas, kangaroos, and birds along the way. The only goal is to have an amazing day full of spectacular sights, and some laughs, too! This tour is suitable for people between the ages of 18-35.
This tour begins with a convenient pick-up run from selected accommodation, before you head out of the city and to the furthers part of the Great Ocean Road and the first scenic stop at the Twelve Apostles. We head out onto the boardwalk and viewing platforms there, to get your first glimpse of the natural limestone rock stacks and cliffs. Before we head onto the beach in front of the first Apostel at Gibson Steps, so you can take in the size and beauty of them from the beach.
It’s a short drive from the Twelve Apostles to beautiful Loch Ard Gorge, where you will walk on the famous shipwreck beach, where young Tom rescued Eva from the sea after their ship went down. Also checking out more magnificent limestone formations, like the Razorback, Three Sisters and the Salt and Pepper shaker.
Afterwards, it's off to the Great Otway National Park, which stretches or over 1000squared kilometres, where we will find the adorable koalas in their natural habitat to grab some photos of, before arriving in Apollo Bay for some free time and lunch. While in Apollo Bay you can grab some food at any of the different cafés, restaurant and bakeries, or even head to the Gin distally or pub for a well-earned drink.
For the afternoon we spend driving and stopping along the scenic drive between Apollo Bay and Anglesea at such place like Cape Pattern Lookout, Kennet River, Lorne The Memorial Arch and so on before finding Kangaroos grazing in the fields.
