This Lux Great Ocean Road Reverse Itinerary Day Trip lasts about 11.5 hours and includes hotel pickup from Melbourne CBD, Southbank, or Docklands areas. The tour travels in a comfortable vehicle with reclining seats, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and bottled water, carrying a maximum of 11 guests to maintain a relaxed atmosphere. The trip begins with a pickup in Melbourne, followed by a 10-minute coffee stop in a town known for its farming history and local bakery products. The first major stop is the Twelve Apostles, where guests spend about 35 minutes viewing the limestone rock stacks formed by erosion over millions of years. Next is a 30-minute visit to Loch Ard Gorge, where visitors can walk trails around blowholes, limestone stacks, and cliffs, hear the story of the Loch Ard shipwreck, and optionally visit the nearby Port Campbell Visitor Information Centre. The tour then continues with a 30-minute exploration of the Otway rainforest to see unique vegetation and some of the tallest and oldest trees. After that, there is a three-hour section along the Great Ocean Road itself, including a walk on a volcanic rock beach and views of the Australian National Heritage-listed route. A 40-minute lunch break allows guests to purchase food at local eateries, as lunch is not included. Additional stops include a 20-minute visit to the highest point on the tour, a 15-minute stop to learn about the history and builders of the Great Ocean Road, and a visit to a seaside town where the road meets the ocean. There is also a 15-minute toilet and sweet treat break before the tour ends with a 10-minute stop near Southern Cross Station, where free trams are available. An optional helicopter flight over the coast can be purchased on the day. The tour is not recommended for travelers with walking or mobility problems.
