We enjoyed the spectacular rock formation in rhe seashore, named 12 Apostel and the visit of a rainforest with 1000year old and 100m/300ft high trees...so don't forget to have your binoculars ready to look (-;

A whole day in nature with breathtaking views of the ocean and coastal cliff and rainforest walks with wildlife encounters all together with lovely fellow tour guests and under the expert guidance of our tour guide and superb driver Marty! The morning coffee and lunchtime stops were excellent too. I'd do it all again tomorrow!

An absolutely exceptional day along the spectacular Great Ocean Road. Our group was just ten people and it was fabulous having conversations with like minded travelers from all over the world. We also had koala, bird and kangaroo sightings! Our guide, Wayne, was wonderful and we loved that he did all the driving, allowing us to relax and enjoy! I highly recommend this tour!
Bask in the beauty of coastal views
Hop on an air-conditioned vehicle from your hotel in Melbourne CBD and take a day tour of the Great Ocean Road, an iconic coastal route. Start at Torquay Surf Beach, where you can breathe in the sea breeze and watch surfers at Bells Surfing Beach. Marvel at Pole House, suspended 40 meters above the ground, before snapping pictures in front of the Great Ocean Road sign. Enjoy panoramic views from Cape Patton, where you might even spot migrating whales.
Spot koalas, parrots and take a rainforest walk
After lunch at the charming seaside town of Apollo Bay, proceed to Kennett River, where you can spot koalas sleeping in the trees and colorful parrots flying over the forest. Then, take a guided forest walk through Maits Rest Rainforest, surrounded by towering trees and lush ferns.
12 Apostles, shipwreck site, and a scenic return
Descend the Gibson Steps (weather permitting) for a unique view of the 12 Apostles. Visit Loch Ard Gorge, where your guide will share the dramatic story of the famous shipwreck.
