Why follow the crowd when you can flip the script? Our award-winning reverse itinerary tour from Melbourne takes you on a wild and wonderful adventure along the Great Ocean Road – backwards! That means more sights, fewer people, and a whole lot more fun.

We kick things off by heading inland straight to the Twelve Apostles –jaw-dropping views and fresh morning light perfect for photos. From there, we explore the stunning Shipwreck Coast, hitting up Loch Ard Gorge, The Razorback, Gibson Steps, and of course, the iconic Apostles.

Then, we switch gears and head into nature with a peaceful rainforest walk through ancient, towering trees.

On the way back, we cruise the coast through charming towns like Apollo Bay and Lorne. And yes – we guarantee wild koala sightings, plus a good chance of spotting kangaroos bouncing through the bush.

So if you're after a laid-back, wildlife-packed, photo-worthy adventure that skips the stress and doubles the fun–this is the tour for you.

    James was brilliant. Made the trip very enjoyable. Great fun. Very informative and friendly. Trip had it all and we got to the 12 apostles ahead of the crowds. Views are amazing. Lots of comfort breaks and places to stretch your legs so it didn’t feel as long a day as it was. Great trip.
