Premium Small Group Great Ocean Road & Wildlife with Lunch
Description
Experience the beauty of the Great Ocean Road scenic view with 12 Apostles and Loch Ard gorge with our proffesional small group family-oriented day tour company where we can relax and enjoy the ride while sharing some interesting history about this magnificent oceanic coastal road that people talk about. Unlike other tour companies that only focus on "showing the view and go home", we offer family-oriented interaction that makes our tour feels like you are going away with your own family. We try to make our tour fun, exciting, and we cater for each, and everyone's need while maintaining the quality and efficiency of our tour. (prepare for some group singing!) Furthermore, our small group tour will ensure more personalised service compared to big group tour, and our small but comfortable minibus will be able to access points of attractions/interests where big buses cannot access. Watch out for some kangaroos and koalas too! Morning Aussie style billy tea and snacks are included

Itinerary
Anglesea is the second coastal town along the Great Ocean Road. These are quite a number of wild kangaroos here especially at one of the public golf-course nearby. These kangaroos are often visible from the outside of the golf club. We will try to spot these beautiful jumpy marsupials. Disclaimer: these are wild animals and can be anywhere, we cannot guarantee they will be there however from our experience we see them most of the time in the early morning.
9:30-9:50 Morning tea and rest room break
Arrival 10:05 am, depart 10:20 am - Often mistaken by travellers as the start of Great Ocean Road. Memorial Arch was actually erected to commemorate returning Australian soldiers from world war I battlefield.

We had an amazing time on the small group Great Ocean Road trip with Nara Day Tours. There was so much great scenery and wildlife to see and Ivan was such a friendly and knowledgeable guide. It was really nice that we had a quick snack for breakfast included as well as lunch. There was even time to walk around Apollo Bay for a bit. Overall the tour was perfect for our group of seven (5 adults + 2 teens) and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
The guide is friendly. Booking was easy but definite. Transportation used was quite comfy. Many good spots to enjoy. The trip was fun and relaxing. I know this from a friend of mine and I would not be hesitant to recommend to others to join any programs promoted by this vendor. Good luck!!
It was great traveling with a small group. We were able to access areas the large busses were unable to go. Far more personal service
We had a amazing tour going to Great Ocean Road. Small group made it more personal, and our guide Ivan was very nice, helpful and provided a lot of information. Highly recommend this by Nara Day tours.
Wonderful tour, our guide Ivan was very nice and informative. The included lunch was catered from subway and was a good idea since we got extra time to spend at Apollo bay. We got to all places on time because of the small group size.
We have a great trip! superb services and the trip make us feels like the locals, will definitely go again!
We went for the view, which we got; but were given a very cool surprise of koalas in their natural habitat! They look so cuddly! Too bad we couldn't take one home.
We took our family who came to Melbourne for a visit with this tour group. We love it!! We have a big group with kids. The driver is very helpful with the kids and have extended knowledge about the area. We took great photos too. It’s definitely a memorable experience for us.
Thank you !!
We had a great time, the driver was very nice, we saw wild kangaroos and koalas. overall it was a great expirience, will recommend!
Thank you it has been a pleasure
It was a fun day out. We were taken to places where most other tour companies don't have in their itinerary. Saw some koalas too, and one of them with a joey! Highly recommended!
Thank you it has been a pleasure
