Overview

Embark on an unforgettable journey along the Great Ocean Road, starting with a stop at the iconic surf town of Torquay. We'll continue to the Memorial Arch, a tribute to the region's rich history, before venturing into the lush rainforest of Kennett River, where wild koalas and parrots await.

After a delightful lunch in the charming seaside town of Apollo Bay, we'll traverse the scenic Otway National Park, stopping at Mait's Rest for a short walk amidst ancient ferns and towering trees.

Next, prepare to be awestruck by the majestic Twelve Apostles, towering limestone stacks rising dramatically from the Southern Ocean. We'll then explore the dramatic rock formations of Loch Ard Gorge and The Razorback, each with a unique story to tell.

Throughout the day, you'll be treated to breathtaking scenery, from rugged coastlines to tranquil rainforests. This Great Ocean Road tour is the perfect way to experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of Victoria's coastline.
