Itinerary

In the morning, we’ll stop off at a popular surfing beach to enjoy a complimentary tea before we head off to Memorial Arch. Here, you can snap some photos at one of the route’s most iconic landmarks.

Then it is time for a beach stroll along one of the Great Ocean Road’s pristine beaches. Soak up the stunning sea views and feel the sand between your toes before we pass through the picturesque seaside towns of Lorne and Anglesea.

Next, we’ll make our way to a coastal town for an easy bush walk to hang out with the local wildlife and spot some cute koalas along the way. Keep your eyes peeled for the colourful birds that live here, including lorikeets, parrots, and the famous kookaburra.

Lunch is in the beachside town of Apollo Bay, where you can tuck into local fare and refuel for an afternoon of incredible sightseeing.

Firstly, we’ll stop at Otway’s Rainforest and take a guided bush walk amongst ancient trees and stunning forest scenery, before we head on to the 12 Apostles, one of Australia’s most famous landmarks. These limestone stacks form an incredible backdrop to the sea views, so be sure to bring your camera along.

Afterwards, we’ll move on to Loch Ard Gorge, which is shrouded by impressive limestone cliffs. We’ll take a walk here and check out the local attractions, including the Archway, the Razorback, and Dumpling Pots. You’ll also get to learn about Australia’s most famous shipwreck while you’re here.

Finally, we’ll move on to London Bridge or Gibson Steps, where you can take one final walk on the Great Ocean Road before we head back to Melbourne.
