What To Expect
The highlight of the tour! On the reverse route, you arrive at the 12 Apostles early in the morning — before the crowds — and experience the iconic limestone stacks bathed in soft golden light. Your guide will share the fascinating geology and history of these ancient formations as you walk the clifftop boardwalk. Marvel at the dramatic Southern Ocean crashing against the base of the stacks, and take stunning photos with minimal crowds. There are currently 8 remaining stacks, each up to 45 metres tall, rising from the sea in one of Australia's most photographed landscapes.
Loch Ard Gorge
Named after the iron clipper that wrecked here in 1878, this stunning gorge features towering sandstone cliffs framing a sheltered beach. Your guide will share the dramatic story of the two survivors. Walk down to the gorge floor, explore the sea cave, and photograph the iconic arch and blowholes. One of the most picturesque spots on the entire Great Ocean Road.
