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!

The reverse tour is good for avoiding crowds. The boutique tour is great because we got a decent and clean mini bus, and Jimmy Chan, our driver/tour guide, was very informative and helped us take pictures.

The experience was incredible value for money and ensured we visited a variety of diverse locations along the Great Ocean Road. We covered approximately 75% of the road and each stop was carefully selected and well described to us. Our guide Chris was exceptional. He knew his stuff about each stop and included observations from his time growing up on a farm in the local area. I couldn’t recommend this experience highly enough.

Everything was saw was absolutely gorgeous, except the rainforest walk could have been skipped. The fish restaurant was an unfortunate pick for lunch; ordering and seating was chaotic, and the bathrooms we were directed to were run down and unsanitary.
