Description

Get ready to be blown away by the stunning beauty of the Great Ocean Road tour! With our customisable and flexible service, you can explore at your own pace and indulge in the region's top attractions. You will be picked up from your accommodation in our luxury vehicles for an unforgettable and exciting adventure! Unlike other tours, only your group participates, and you can choose which places and how much time you would like to spend there. The wrong crowd spoils many trips; if you want this, make it private. This tour is also excellent for families with children, as we can accommodate child seats; please advise us after booking. Pick-up time is flexible; we can shorten the tour to return as early as 4:00 pm. We recommend starting early to maximise the stops and avoid the crowds, but we are flexible. An optional Helicopter Flight over the 12 Apostles is available at extra cost. Mercedes V Class included

We travel along this scenic road

20 min

The lighthouse was constructed in 1891. For 27 years, three lighthouse keepers worked at this remote location, ensuring the light was operating well and communicating with ships via a number of code systems. The lighthouse still has its original construction with a wonderful staircase and timber fittings. The lantern still operates having had more than three different light sources over its history. The tower was converted to automatic operation in 1919. The keepers' cottages and stables form an intrinsic part of the lighthouse precinct.

Learn more about the history of the road build and an opportunity to take memorable photos.

Probably the most scenic spot on this tour, a must for views across the Ocean, Great Ocean Road and Lorne Beach

Great Ocean Road experience was better than great!

Lovely experience! Peter was a fabulous guide. He managed to get the right mix of informative, helpful and fun while also giving some space to just enjoy things at one’s own pace. The koalas and kangaroos were an unexpected highlight and all the stops, views and background story, history and facts were much appreciated. Thanks Peter!

A day well spent

Amazing day trip

We enjoyed a wonderful tour with our guide, Peter. With an 11 hour tour & 2 teenage children, it could have been a tricky day, but we were all thoroughly entertained, saw so many great things and even learnt lots from Peter. If you book only 1 day trip from Melbourne, make it this one

Perfect Day on the Great Ocean Road

It was a wonderful day. First of all, our guide Peter communicated with me the evening before and the morning of, so there were no questions about connecting with him for the day. He picked us up in a nice, clean, comfortable luxury van at the appointed time. He managed the day perfectly, avoiding the crush of crowds at the major sites. The Ocean Road is an amazing drive filled with awe inspiring views and overlooks. He also took us to a beautiful rain forest gully. He found a wonderful lunch spot for us, and he helped us find koalas in the wild and kangaroos! His knowledge of Australia, the road and the region added greatly to our day. It was a full day of amazing experiences. We highly recommend!
