Our journey along the coastline offered spectacular vistas at every turn. The crown jewel was undoubtedly the Twelve Apostles National Park – an iconic marvel that left us in awe. Special thanks to our driver John, whose expert navigation ensured not only a smooth and secure ride along winding roads, but also amplified the entire experience.

Full description

Discover the wonders of Australia’s Great Ocean Road on a journey that combines breathtaking scenery with unforgettable experiences. Enjoy a reverse itinerary that takes you off the beaten path, avoiding the crowds and delivering you to iconic destinations like Loch Ard Gorge and the Twelve Apostles at the perfect time to capture their beauty in the best light.

As you travel along the scenic route, immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Kennett River eucalyptus forests, where you’ll encounter Australia’s unique wildlife up close. Adorable koalas lounge lazily in the branches, and vibrant native birds fill the air with their cheerful songs. Stroll through the dense forest and ferns, breathing in the fresh, fragrant air that invigorates the spirit.

Midday brings you to the charming coastal town of Apollo Bay, renowned for its serene beaches and relaxed atmosphere. Here, you can choose from a selection of seaside restaurants to enjoy a leisurely lunch, indulging in fresh local seafood and specialty dishes.

In the afternoon, continue your adventure to the historic Split Point Lighthouse, a landmark built in 1891 that stands as a beacon for sailors and a symbol of the Great Ocean Road. Capture the moment with a photo at the iconic Memorial Arch at Eastern View.

Ensure your comfort with a air-conditioned coach, cozy seats throughout the journey. Our experienced guides will accompany you, offering in-depth insights into the region’s natural and cultural heritage.
