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!

Just a once in a lifetime day on the great ocean road with Patrick. We weren’t sure if it was going to be possible to do this much travel in the day but I was wrong. It was an incredible, active day (hit my 10k steps at least)! And made so many memories. We learned about the rainforest, the history of the GOR and had spectacular views along. Also spotted wild koalas which was perfect!!

We had a magical day, got so lucky with the weather, and doing the tour in reverse with a small group was such a good choice! we beat the crowds everywhere and had a great guide in Chris. Lots of stories, lots of personal care, clear communication, and the group was fun too. The tour is incredible, highly highly recommend!!!! It is a long day and a long drive so be prepared for that but it is so worth it all!

The tour packed a lot into the day, without feeling too rushed, As well as the coastal highlights - 12 Apostles, Gibson's Steps, Loch Ard Gorge and the Razorback, the temperate rainforest at Melba Gully offered a dramatic contrast. Koala spotting at Kennet River was fun and we were lucky to see kangaroos in the (semi-) wild near Bell's Beach. Our guide Chris was personable and informative and kept us all on track.

The whole trip was memorable. Our driver was awesome! We saw some gorgeous coastline, wild koalas, roos. The chocolate factory was the dessert to a wonderful day.
