The Great Ocean Road is travelled by more than 3.5million visitors each year. The crowds at each iconic destination are becoming increasingly busy making this magical region harder to enjoy. We have designed this Reverse Great Ocean Road Tour to avoid the crowds at peak times and to also allow our guests to see the awe inspiring 12 Apostles in the morning sun light which brightly illuminates this incredible rock formation. Journey along the entire Great Ocean Road stopping to walk through an ancient rainforest, explore quaint seaside villages, encounter wild Koalas and see the many incredible cliff top lookouts along the way.

This was one of the best travel experiences we’ve had thus far. Our tour guide, Misty, was fun and super knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed her. Words can’t describe how amazing every location along the tour is. Everyone should book this and ask for Misty!

Great trip - amazing places visited. Joe was very knowledgeable and helpful and answered any qs anyone had. His passion for sharing the history of the place adding personal experiences gave it an extra touch. Worth doing it if in Melbourne but prepare for a long day: you leave Mel at 7:30am and are back in the city at 8pm. Well worth it though

The driver and guide (2 in 1) - Aidan Jones, he is the only reason I rated this tour 3 stars. It is not the tour for 1 day and you know it for sure. Everything too fast and without Aiden stories it would be a disaster. The schedule for one day trip should be changed if you respect your customers.

The sceneries were just awesome. The reverse trip travelling arrangement was a good move to avoid the crowds. The guide/driver (Bill?) was really fantastic. He had good knowledge of the present and past of the area. He was friendly and helpful. In a nut shell, this was a fantastic trip.
