Overview

The tour begins with a scenic drive along the Great Ocean Road starting from Melbourne. The first stop is at Anglesea for a 20-minute break to walk on the beach and have morning tea with classic Australian snacks. The coach continues past the Pole House, an architecturally notable holiday home perched above the road. Next, the group stops for about 10 minutes at the Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway to take photos at the official gateway. The tour then proceeds to Cape Patton Lookout Point for a 10-minute pause to view the coastline and ocean. Lunch takes place in Apollo Bay, where travelers have 40 minutes to eat in this laid-back coastal town known for local seafood. After lunch, a 30-minute guided walk in Melba Gully National Park leads through rainforest trails to Cascades waterfall. The afternoon focuses on coastal landmarks starting with 45 minutes at the Twelve Apostles to see the limestone stacks rising from the ocean. The tour also includes a 10-minute stop at The Razorback, a jagged limestone formation shaped by ocean winds and waves. A 45-minute visit to Loch Ard Gorge follows, featuring rock formations, cliffs, and the site of a historic shipwreck. Finally, there is a 15-minute stop in Colac for rest and refreshments before the return drive to Melbourne. The tour lasts about 13 hours and is conducted on a mid-size coach with air conditioning. Included are live commentary, tea and coffee, an audio guide app, informative guides, and national park entry fees. Lunch is not included.
