Great Ocean Road: 90 Mins at 12 Apostles & Optional Helicopter
Overview
Embark on a full-day journey from Melbourne along the breathtaking Great Ocean Road, one of Australia's most scenic coastal drives. Follow the classic coastal route rather than the reverse direction, discovering iconic landmarks, charming seaside towns and hidden coastal gems.
Two Seasons, Two Unique Experiences
During daylight saving months (Oct - Apr), enjoy up to 90 minutes at the world-famous Twelve Apostles, with more time to explore the spectacular coastal views and the new Visitor Centre. For an unforgettable perspective, choose an optional scenic helicopter flight (additional cost, subject to weather and availability).
During cooler months (May - Sep), the itinerary includes London Bridge, offering a chance to witness a spectacular coastal sunset, weather and daylight permitting.
