Overview

Beat the crowds! Experience the best sights along the Great Ocean Road on our 'Express 12 Apostles Great Ocean Road Tour'. This tour includes all of the highlights of our full-day tour, including a visit to The Twelve Apostles and favorite spots within the Port Campbel National Park.

This tour is designed to shorten the drive and wait times, traveling to The 12 Apostles, therefore it does not include a scenic drive along The Great Ocean Road. Our guides will take a shortcut to The 12 Apostles via an inland reverse route. 

Australian Private Tours have established and experienced drivers, catering to international and local clientele.

Please Note: This tour is customizable. If you would like to customize your experience, please contact the company prior to the tour date. Prices may vary depending on changes to the itinerary.
