About this experience
Enjoy this guided, nature-filled road trip and discover Victoria's stunning coastline and rainforest. Drive the Great Ocean Road, a winding road that reveals uninterrupted beaches, dramatic coastlines, and the lush rainforest of the Otway Ranges. ↪ Torquay: We sip our morning tea by the beach, watching surfers carve through the early waves as the sun warms the sand around us. ↪ Memorial Arch: The iconic marking for the start of the Great Ocean Road, surrounded by lush trees and the fresh scent of the ocean breeze. ↪ Koala Spotting: Venture into the wild to spot koalas in their natural habitat. If you're lucky, they’ll be lounging lazily in the trees, offering a peaceful, unforgettable sight. ↪ Lookout at the Great Ocean Road: Enjoy breathtaking views from the lookout along the Great Ocean Road, where the rugged coastline meets the endless blue ocean, and the wind carries the refreshing sea air. ↪ Apollo Bay for Lunch: Take a break in Apollo Bay and indulge in fresh, local seafood (lunch is at your own expense) while you enjoy the calming sight of the bay, with its peaceful waters stretching out before you. ↪ Rainforest Walk: Take a walk through the peaceful Maits Rest rainforest, surrounded by towering trees, lush ferns, and the fresh, cool air - it's the perfect spot to reconnect with nature. ↪ Port Campbell National Park (12 Apostles and Gibson Steps): Visit the awe-inspiring 12 Apostles, where you'll stand in awe of the limestone cliffs rising from the ocean. Take an optional scenic stroll to Gibson's Steps to feel the power of the waves crashing on the beach. ↪ Loch Ard Gorge: Finish your journey at Loch Ard Gorge, where steep cliffs frame turquoise waters, and the stories of shipwrecks and survival seem to echo through the air, making this spot truly unforgettable. ↪ Colac: After a day of exploring, head to Colac for a quick dinner in this charming town.

“Rachael was an amazing guide. She was very knowledgable about the Great Ocean Road. The day was well planned out and we had more than enough time at each location to really soak it in. Rach even gave us recommendations for things to do around Melbourne. She went above and beyond for us. Would definitely recommend this tour.”
