What you can expect
Set off on a private full-day adventure along the Great Ocean Road, beginning with a comfortable pick-up from your Melbourne CBD accommodation. Relax in your luxury bus as you cross the West Gate Bridge and travel inland past Colac, the gateway to the Otways. Your first stop is G.O.R.G.E. Chocolates, where you'll experience a coffee and chocolate tasting and hand-feed friendly alpacas. From there, you'll head to the world-famous 12 Apostles for postcard-perfect photos from the viewing platforms. Continue on to Loch Ard Gorge, to hear the tale of a heroic sea rescue and stroll along the sandy beach below the cliffs.
After a lunch break with tea or coffee and a delicious meal at Wildlife Wonders, you'll join a conservation guide for a one-hour walk through native bushland, spotting wallabies, koalas, emus, kangaroos, and more. To round off the adventure, you’ll pass through a few charming coastal towns, pausing to stretch your legs and watch surfers riding the waves, before making a final stop at the Memorial Arch on your return journey to Melbourne.
