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 a nice day trip. You get to see plenty even though it may be a little fast paced. I would caution those, before booking, who get car/motion sickness. The route has a lot of winding roads. I had no problems but I could see others maybe feeling sick. Our tour guide was awesome, had tons of knowledge and was humorous. Great views all the way through and awesome stops along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour to others. Especially the reverse route, I think it flows better, working your way back to the city.
