Overview

We invite you to experience a luxury tour of the Great Ocean Road and the Twelve Apostles.

While we can customize this tour to your preferences, we highly recommend our reverse itinerary. By departing early and traveling inland first, we avoid the crowds to ensure you enjoy Victoria's rugged coastline and pristine bushland in comfort.

The journey includes visits to Lorne, Apollo Bay, and the world-renowned Bells Beach. Following lunch at a local café in Apollo Bay, we will proceed to Port Campbell National Park to explore the Twelve Apostles via walking tracks or an optional helicopter ride.

Our one-day tours are fully flexible to accommodate your interests and time constraints, including adjusted return times if required.
