Itinéraire
Préparez-vous, notre aventure commence bientôt! Le bus est en route, alors prenez votre équipement, sentez l'excitation, et prenons la route! Nous partons de Melbourne à 7h35 précises, et nous nous dirigeons sur le pont Westgate en direction de la capitale de la côte de surf. Il est recommandé aux clients de prendre le petit déjeuner avant la visite car nous ne nous arrêtons qu'en milieu de matinée.
Profitez du thé du matin et des observations de la faune du sanctuaire de Serendip situé à l'ouest de Melbourne sur la route descendant vers la Great Ocean Road.
En quittant Melbourne, nous contournons la deuxième plus grande ville de Victoria, connue sous le nom de Geelong.
Explorez la Great Ocean Road
Un monument pour marquer le point de départ original de la Great Ocean Road. Après quelques photos de l'emblématique Memorial Arch et une leçon sur l'histoire des soldats qui ont construit cette route et l'ont dédiée à leurs camarades tombés au combat, nous traverserons des vues encore plus époustouflantes (bien sûr en nous arrêtant pour prendre des photos !)
Une fois que nous avons quitté Melbourne, nous nous dirigeons vers la Surf Coast, en passant par de magnifiques townships balnéaires tels qu'Anglesea, Lorne et Airey's Inlet, nous nous arrêtons en chemin pour prendre le thé du matin et respirer l'air frais de la mer tout en repérant les surfeurs. sur l'eau, avec la proximité de l'Antarctique, vous apprendrez pourquoi c'est un bon surf mais aussi pourquoi les combinaisons humides sont une nécessité !
Une pause déjeuner de bienvenue est prise à Apollo Bay, au bout de la côte de surf. Vous aurez tout le temps d'explorer cette communauté balnéaire et de manger dans l'un des nombreux cafés ou pubs locaux (à vos frais). Une fois que vous avez exploré Apollo Bay, récupéré les souvenirs que vous souhaitez acheter ou dégusté de délicieuses glaces, vous retournez dans le bus pour vous diriger vers l'intérieur des terres jusqu'à la Côte Verte.
jusqu'à la Great Ocean Road, mais en continuant maintenant vers la verdure luxuriante d'Otway, nous traversons d'imposants eucalyptus jusqu'à ce que nous arrivions à une parcelle de forêt tropicale tempérée fraîche. Vous serez étonné de la différence de paysage pendant que nous nous promenons à travers les fougères arborescentes et émerveillons devant les « reliques anciennes » - les arbres de Myrtle Beach qui fournissent une ombre parfaite à la canopée et proviennent de l'époque où l'Australie faisait partie d'un super continent connu sous le nom de Gondwana. Respirez l'air frais avant de partir pour une promenade relaxante vers la spectaculaire Shipwreck Coast !
Toujours dans le parc national, nous descendons vers les gorges du Loch Ard, site de l'une des épaves les plus connues d'Australie, écoutez l'histoire dramatique de Tom et Eva et la vue sur la plage. C’est également là que vous trouverez des formations rocheuses telles que Island Archway, Razorback et les « Salt and Pepper Shakers ».
Une fois hors des arbres et de retour près de l'océan Austral, nous arrivons au parc national de Port Campbell, qui abrite les emblématiques 12 apôtres. Nous passerons environ 40 minutes aux Apôtres où vous profiterez de temps libre pour admirer la vue sous tous les angles, vous promener le long des promenades et prendre des photos parfaites de ce littoral sauvage et accidenté.
Après une journée complète d'exploration, nous disons au revoir à la Great Ocean Road et retournons à l'intérieur des terres pour retourner à Melbourne par les routes de campagne. Nous traversons des terres agricoles en route vers la ville de campagne de Colac, où vous pourrez prendre une bouchée rapide pour le dîner (à vos frais).
Alors que nous revenons à votre point de retrait, asseyez-vous, détendez-vous et revivez la magie de la journée – plein de spectacles épiques, de rires et de moments inoubliables. Nous retournons à Melbourne tard dans la soirée, vers 20h00.

The 12 Apostles was the highlight of the trip, although 30 minutes isn't really enough time to take in their beauty and surrounding areas. Bring enough snacks and water to sustain you through the long day. Lots of opportunities to stretch the legs throughout the day.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We’re delighted that the 12 Apostles was the highlight of your trip. We agree, 30 minutes can feel a bit short to fully appreciate their beauty and the surrounding areas, so we’ll keep that in mind for future planning. Bringing enough snacks and water is definitely important for a long day, and we’re glad you took advantage of the opportunities to stretch your legs throughout the day. Your feedback helps us improve and ensure everyone has a memorable experience!
One of the most scenic and vibrant landscapes you can ever find will greet you and captivate your senses on this tour - which is a not to be missed for those planning a trip to Melbourne. Very professionally managed by Viator and very competent and knowledgeable guidance by Anthony. From Angelsea, Apollo Bay, right upto the 12 Apostles. In between the tour was mase more fascinating by walking through Rainforests and catching a glimpse of kangaroos/Koalas atop trees and rare bird sightings. It was thoroughly emjoyable along the entire scenic stretch.
Thrilled you found the tour scenic and well‑guided. Anthony will be pleased to know he made your trip memorable.
I had an absolutely fantastic experience on this day tour! My cousin and I joined the tour not knowing exactly what to expect, but it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. A big part of that was thanks to Joe, who was both our host and driver for the day. Joe was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. From the moment we started, he made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. He shared interesting stories and local insights throughout the journey, which made every stop even more meaningful. You could tell he genuinely cares about giving guests a great experience.
Thank you for joining our Great Ocean Road & Rainforest tour! We’re delighted Joe’s friendliness, professionalism, and local insights made the journey so special. It’s wonderful to know his care and storytelling turned the day into one of your trip highlights, we’d love to welcome you back for more adventures!
Departed at 7.30am and returned at 8pm. Of the 12.5 hours, over 9 hours were spent on the coach. We had 30 minutes here, 15 minutes there, 20 mins for lunch (a sandwich and piece of fruit, but nothing to drink). The number of places crammed in was too much. It would be better to reduce the number so we could have spent a couple of hours at Apollo Bay and an hour or so at other places. Instead it was a long tedius coach ride, feeling like cattle being rushed from place to place and no time to enjoy anything. One little girl on our trip slept most of the day out of pure boredom. I felt very sorry for her. Never take a child on this trip, it was bad enough for us adults
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We sincerely apologize that the trip did not meet your expectations and that you felt rushed and overwhelmed by the schedule. We understand how important it is to have adequate time to enjoy each location and to experience the journey comfortably, especially when traveling with children. Your comments will help us review and improve our itineraries to ensure a better balance between sightseeing and relaxation. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide a more enjoyable experience in the future.
A really enjoyable trip with an enthusiastic and helpful guide. The tour took us to a lot of places it would have been difficult to get to myself and, being in the tour bus, meant I could focus on enjoying the view rather than worrying about driving. Would recommend this tour. The sights we stopped off at were great.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the trip and appreciated our enthusiastic and helpful guide. It's wonderful to know that the tour allowed you to relax and fully enjoy the sights without any worries. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
I really enjoyed this trip. It’s a long day but our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to tell us lots about the different sites we saw along the coast. It was great to be able to see a bit more of the area.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the trip and appreciated our guide's knowledge and insights. We agree, exploring more of the area makes the long day worthwhile, and we're glad you had a great experience. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!
Fantastic tour hosted by Anthony. He was very knowledgeable and caring. Thanks for a great day especially seeing a live koala. C & A

The natural beauty of the Southern Victorian coastline mixed in with a great tour guide. Sean was full of knowledge and had an authentic Aussie sense of humour... A great full day of touring
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted you enjoyed the stunning Southern Victorian coastline and the 12 Apostles with us. Sean will be thrilled to know his knowledge and Aussie humour made the day even more memorable. We look forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon!
As an American, we refer to LeBron James as the greatest athlete of all time (GOAT) in his respective field. Little did I know there was another goat James serving as a tour guide in Melbourne Australia! James was an amazing guide, very quippy, provided lots of relevant historical information in such a fun, easily understandable way and also seemed quite sensible and caring over the 30+ guests that he oversaw. The sightseeing was also spectacular, we spotted koalas, ate great food recommended by James (who is an ex-chef with great taste) and the other sights were stunningly beautiful. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Australia!
It sounds like you had an incredible experience with James in Melbourne! Discovering that there's another GOAT James serving as a tour guide must have been a fun surprise. It’s fantastic to hear that he was not only knowledgeable and informative but also witty, caring, and attentive to all 30+ guests. The sightseeing, koala spotting, and delicious food recommendations from his chef background definitely added to the trip’s magic. Thanks for sharing your glowing recommendation-sounds like a tour I’d love to join!
Yesterday I did the Great Ocean Road tour with tour guide James. The views we re excellent and my friends and I got a lot of good shots throughout the trip. The tour itself was very nice but James made it that much more enjoyable. The stories he told were relevant and interesting, and added good context for someone who has never been to Australia. I am glad we had James as our tour guide and hope that I can get a tour guide as entertaining and informative as him the next time I do a tour!
It sounds like you had an amazing experience on the Great Ocean Road tour with James! The stunning views and great photo opportunities must have made it truly memorable. It's wonderful to hear that James's stories and insights added so much value to the trip, making it even more enjoyable and informative. Having a guide like him really can make all the difference. Hopefully, your next tour will be just as entertaining and insightful! Thanks for sharing your experience.
