This 13-hour day trip follows a reverse itinerary along the Great Ocean Road, starting from Melbourne and traveling inland first. The tour begins with a 15-minute stop in Winchelsea for tea or coffee, where guests can purchase breakfast at their own expense. Next, the group heads directly to the Twelve Apostles, arriving early to avoid crowds and enjoy about 50 minutes viewing the limestone stacks in the morning light. The tour then visits Gibson Steps for a 20-minute walk on the beach beneath 70-meter cliffs, where limestone formations called Gog and Magog can be seen. Following this, there is a 25-minute stop at The Razorback, a notable limestone formation along the coast. The tour continues with a 60-minute visit to Loch Ard Gorge, where guests can walk on the beach and learn about one of Australia’s most famous shipwrecks while observing the surrounding limestone and sandstone cliffs. The drive passes through Port Campbell National Park and along the Great Ocean Road coastline for about 10 minutes. The route continues through Great Otway National Park, featuring ancient trees. A 20-minute walk takes place at Mait’s Rest rainforest to view the forest scenery. Lunch is taken in Apollo Bay for 45 minutes, where guests can choose from several recommended restaurants (meals not included). After lunch, the tour stops for 20 minutes at Kennett River Nature Walk to look for koalas and orange-bellied parrots. The final stop is Teddy’s Lookout in Lorne for 10 minutes to view the coastal cliffs and take photographs. The tour returns to Melbourne by approximately 7 PM. The group size is limited to a maximum of 12 guests, traveling in air-conditioned minibuses. Included in the tour are bottled water, a professional guide, National Park fees, pickup and drop-off at designated meeting points, skip-the-line access, and live commentary. Food and drinks are not included. Children under 7 years old cannot be accommodated due to vehicle safety regulations. The tour operates in all weather conditions, and appropriate clothing is advised.
