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!

Great tour. Excellent organization. Very clean and comfortable mini van. Group of 11 people ( very friendly group, nice atmosphere)Program was packed but very well spaced and organized. Our driver/ tour guide was excellent . A lot of information and we always beat a crowd , he kept us moving😁. Great places for breakfast ,lunch and ice cream! We have seen some wildlife as well ( koalas, kangaroos and birds). Long day but highly recommended tour and company. Ohh and at the end we got a souvenirs map with places we have seen and visit and cute mini koalas - nice touch! Thank You for a wonderful day!

This is a fantastic tour, not to be missed. While it was a long day (12 hours), there were numerous, and memorable, stops to break it up. Personally I found the Great Ocean Road to be one of the world’s great roads, like the Amalfi Coast or Pacific Coast Highway. The limestone structures and views are incredible. There are a couple of walks mixed in that are terrific. Also, we were lucky enough to see kangaroos, a koala, and kookaburras. Our guide, Marty, was truly wonderful, and we learned a lot about the region and, indeed, Australia, from him. Definitely go.
