HIGHLIGHTS:
Are you the kind of person that enjoys losing your breath sometimes? Are you ready for the beauty of this storm-carved coastline?
If you said yes, you're ready to join us on this excellent Great Ocean Road Small Groups Tour!
One of the best aspects of this tour is that by reversing the usual route, we get to experience the 12 Apostles in the tranquil morning hours, steering clear of the afternoon rush. Additionally, the sunlight casts a magnificent glow on the limestone formations at this time of day.
Things you will see and do:
• Travel inland in the morning straight to the Twelve Apostles
• At least 4 attractions at the Shipwreck Coast: 12 Apostles Coast, Gibson Steps, Loch Ard Gorge, and The Razorback
• Coastal towns: Apollo Bay, Lorne, and lots of other stops for pictures
- Spot koalas in the wild
• Reverse itinerary to avoid the crowds: we mean it! We get there earlier
• More attractions, more stops, more fun!

First of all, I would be terrified to drive on that road but it is so worth seeing. I really enjoyed our guide's commentary. My only complaint is the van was kinda cramped wish there was space to put a backpack.

The tour exceeded my expectations as I was travelling on my own but felt extremely comfortable. Herb was the Tour Guide and had all the facts about the stops and made it interesting. My highlight was seeing Koalas in the wild. Wish I had more time to do another trip.

It was terrific albeit a long day! Neil was wonderful - informative about local history and geology, and so friendly and fun. All the many viewing stops were spectacular (we had gorgeous weather!) and the stops for breaks were perfect. Nice small group so we were nimble. Would never have seen all these wonderful sights on our own so it was a win!

Brilliant idea to go backwards. There are many tourists that take the Great Ocean Road. We loved all the information from our guide and that he had a mike in the van.
