This tour is for 18-to-35 year old backpackers, international students and young travellers looking for an adventure seeing the sights but also meeting other like-minded travellers exploring the world just like them.
On this tour, we drive the road in the opposite direction, starting from the south-west coast and working back, allowing us to avoid the crowds from other tour buses, getting the boring part of the drive out of the way first and saving the best of the Great Ocean Road for last.
A two-day tour means we can take our time along the way, so that you will never feel rushed. The only timeline we have is to ensure we arrive on time at the Twelve Apostles for sunset.

I had the most amazing time on this tour, so glad I booked it. James our tour guide was FAB, good sense of humour, took us to all the best places and was just a pleasure to spend 2 days with. I met great people on the tour, saw incredible views, the cutest koalas/kangaroos and the hostel was really nice. I could’ve carried on for days, I couldn’t recommend it more - a must do!!!! If you are choosing between 1 day or 2, do 2 without a doubt - the sunset and seeing the penguins is a MUST SEE! Thanks again James, legend!

The tour was very enjoyable as a solo traveller with time to be introverted and also to make new situational and lasting friends. There were a ton of stops to see wildlife up close (koalas and kangaroos!!!), nature (waterfall, rocks and cliffs, rainforests) and small towns (for lunch stops). I loved doing everything not with other tourists so it felt really well planned. The overnight accommodation was very spacious and clean.

Second time visiting the Great Ocean Road, and its beauty and grandeur still take my breath away. This time, I joined a two-day road tour as a backpacker 🎒 and met amazing people—a French bartender, a British teacher working in Australia, a law student transitioning to tech, two Chinese girls and other amazing people. Led by Mark, our excellent guide, we explored beaches and forests, learning about different tree species, insects, and rock formations. We were lucky enough to spot dolphins, penguins, koalas, and kangaroos along the way. On the Great Ocean Road, everything in life feels embraced, and every line in nature seems to carry meaning. Gonna miss this place 💙
