What to Expect
This two day tour will take you on an unforgettable adventure, touring the Australian National heritage listed Great Ocean Road, rich with amazing sights, landmarks, and history – including the famous Twelve Apostles limestone formations.
Your first day, you can expect to spent some time on a fantastic surf beach in Warrnambool called Logans Beach, head to Tower Hill, a large, ancient, sunken volcano, home to koalas, kangaroos and emus, swim at one of the amazing spots along the Great Ocean Road and experience the spectacular sunset at the Twelve Apostles.
Day two will see you head to the beautiful Loch Ard Gorge, the scene of a tragic shipwreck and a heroic rescue, Twelve Apostles, where some of you might opt for a helicopter flight, and then it's off to Gibson's Steps to see one of the Apostles from the beach.
A beautiful one-hour drive through the Great Otway National Park will take you towards Maits Rest for a guided rainforest walk, followed by a lovely lunch at the seaside town of Apollo Bay.
In the afternoon, you will wind your way along the Surf Coast towards Bells Beach, taking the original stretch of the Great Ocean Road that hugs the ocean all the way and head back to Melbourne.
This tour takes the road in the opposite direction, starting from the south-west coast and working back, which avoids the crowds from other tour buses, plus you'll get the boring part of the drive out of the way first, saving the best of the Great Ocean Road to last. A two-day tour means you will be able to take your time along the way and never feel rushed. The only timeline is to ensure the tour arrives at the Twelve Apostles for sunset. This tour is suitable for people between the ages of 18-25 only.
