Experience the magic of Melbourne and enjoy two destinations in a single day! Our expert guide will take you to some of Melbourne's most iconic buildings and cultural landmarks before heading to Phillip Island to witness the world-famous penguin parade.
Melbourne, a city bursting with lush gardens, vibrant restaurants, charming alleys, and a buzzing art scene, is waiting for you.
We'll kick things off with iconic photo spots, like the MCG forecourt, Hosier Lane, Fitzroy Gardens, and the Shrine of Remembrance. These aren't just places; they're your ticket to unforgettable moments and Instagram-worthy snapshots.
But hold onto your hats, because after the Melbourne buzz, it's time to switch gears and immerse yourself in nature. Walk along the scenic coastal boardwalks at The Nobbies and as the sun dips below the horizon, get ready for the grand finale—the Penguin Parade.
It's a natural spectacle that'll leave you in awe.

Great ocean road tour with Go West Melbourne Australia

5.00This Great ocean road Tour was fantastic, I was able to see so many Beautiful places including Torquay! The thrill for me was the actual sign saying Great ocean road and having pictures taken there also hearing about how this road came about was interesting, another ticked off the Bucket list, the stops were plentiful and very picturesque with the panoramic views and the gorgeous Ocean, over 500 km of travelling , the cool rain forest was definitely a highlight with the Ash mountain trees standing tall, the Apostles were intriguing especially as the Tour leader explained how these developed over many years and how they may not be here forever due to erosion etc, Jaqui was so informative and friendly and clearly loves doing this Tour . I had the opportunity to go for the stunning and thrilling Helicopter ride which swooped over the coastline brilliantly. There's soo much to this day and the Wildlife in these areas is very good. Worth every penny/ cent and great to experience this Tour with such a nice group of people. Highly recommend doing this Tour with Go West
