What To Expect
Great Ocean Road
We begin our journey in the morning, leaving Melbourne behind as we head towards the iconic Great Ocean Road. This stunning coastal drive promises spectacular views of dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and the endless blue of the Southern Ocean. Along the way, take in the beauty of winding roads, lush rainforests, and charming coastal towns—an unforgettable start to an incredible day of exploration.
Torquay
Our first stop is the beautiful coastal town of Torquay, the official gateway to the Great Ocean Road and the birthplace of Australia’s surf culture. Known for its world-famous Bells Beach and as the home of iconic surf brands like Rip Curl and Quiksilver, Torquay offers the perfect blend of laid-back charm and coastal heritage. Here, you'll enjoy a peaceful break with complimentary tea, coffee, and fresh muffins served by the beach. It’s the ideal spot to take in the fresh sea air and learn about the rich surfing history that shaped this vibrant seaside town.

5.00I am in Australia solo for work and was looking for a way to explore outside of Melbourne. I almost booked a small group tour (11 passengers) but did not want to be on a strict schedule or stuck in a crowded van all day. I stumbled across Sam’s private tour and am SO happy I chose it instead! Not only are there more stops than any group tour I found (Bells Beach, Gibson Steps, London Bridge, The Grotto) but you can spend as much or as little time as you want at each one. We saw tons of Kangaroos which was secretly a bucket list item. Sam was also incredibly pleasant and I felt completely comfortable all 12 hours, even as a female solo traveler. Spend a little more and have a perfect day exploring the Great Ocean Road!
A must do day trip in Melbourne!

5.00This is a must day trip in Melbourne! We had a great time, this is a long day sitting in vehicle,but we didn’t had that worry as we see lot of places around coastal and the beautiful views along the way to 12 Apostles. Sam had a good knowledge and he stopped at a nice spots and there was a plenty of time in each spot, coffee and muffins was refreshing in early morning trip to start to towards the great ocean road. I highly recommend this trip with Sam.
Amazing!!

5.00This trip was beyond of amazing. Sam was nice, and was super on time. We had a couple of extra stops I loved that we had good time in each stop to avoid running in key points. It was a good way to see the great ocean road

5.00We had an amazing full-day tour to the 12 Apostles with Sam! Everything was perfectly organized and right on time from start to finish. It was a private tour for our family and Sam was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the trip even more enjoyable. I think this tour is the perfect choice for anyone visiting for the first time and wanting to explore without the stress of planning. It was a wonderful experience and I’m so glad I chose this tour!
