Reisroute
Begin uw Great Ocean Road reis met een stop in het ontspannen kustplaatsje Anglesea. Strek je benen, geniet van de oceaanlucht en maak je klaar voor een van Victoria's mooiste toerroutes. Dit is een pauze om koffie/ontbijt te kopen (eigen kosten)
Stop voor foto's bij de beroemde Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch, een van de meest erkende bezienswaardigheden langs de route en een eerbetoon aan de teruggekeerde soldaten die hebben geholpen bij de bouw van deze iconische kustweg.
Reis langs een van de mooiste kustplaatsen van Australië, met een prachtig uitzicht op de oceaan, klifwegen, stranden, badplaatsen en tal van fotomogelijkheden onderweg.
Bezoek één van de bekendste wildlife spotting gebieden op de Great Ocean Road. Houd je ogen open voor koala's in de bomen en kleurrijke inheemse vogels in het omliggende struikgewas.
Als we door Apollo Bay rijden over de Great Ocean Road, laat u dan betoveren door de kustcharme en adembenemende vergezichten van de stad. Omringd door glooiende heuvels en ongerepte stranden, biedt deze pittoreske bestemming een heerlijke mix van natuur, ontspanning en kustvibes.
Stap in het koele, groene regenwoud van het Great Otway National Park. Deze gemakkelijke wandeling voert je door torenhoge bomen, reusachtige varens en eeuwenoud bos dat een heel andere kant toevoegt aan de Great Ocean Road-ervaring.
Mooie rit door Otway National Park, omgeven door majestueuze eeuwenoude bomen, die de natuurlijke schoonheid en rust van het park laten zien.
Pauzeer voor lunch (op eigen kosten) in een regionale stad en geniet van de tijd om te ontspannen voordat u verder gaat naar de dramatische kalksteenkustlijn van Port Campbell National Park.
Bezoek de wereldberoemde 12 Apostelen, de meest iconische halte aan de Great Ocean Road. Geniet vanaf de uitkijkplatforms van de dramatische kalkstenen stapels, het uitzicht op de oceaan en de ruige kustlijn.
Verken een van de mooiste en meest historische haltes langs de Shipwreck Coast. Loch Ard Gorge staat bekend om zijn torenhoge kliffen, turquoise water, uitzicht op de kust en fascinerende scheepswrak verhaal.
Als de omstandigheden het toelaten, loop dan naar beneden richting het strand voor een krachtig uitzicht op de kliffen en kalksteenformaties vanaf zeeniveau. Dit is een van de meest memorabele fotostops op de Great Ocean Road.

Fabulous day out. Lots to see . Lauchie guide very relaxed and lots of interesting information
Janet, what a fabulous review! 😊 We are so delighted you had a fantastic day exploring with Lachie. It is great to hear you appreciated his relaxed style and the wealth of interesting information he shared. Such insights truly make a difference in enhancing the tour experience. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to see you again for another exciting adventure with Explore Australia Tours! 🚂🐨
Despite the tour being a very long day, I was so glad I had done it and loved the fact we were a small group of 11 in a comfortable mini bus, driven by our brilliant guide Anthony who set the tone for the entire day with his welcoming, friendly demeanour and and knowledge. Just enough time was had at all the stops, toilet breaks were plentiful, and you could be sure we never missed sightings of kualas or kangaroos as Anthony always managed to spot them, often from afar. It is definitely a trip where you get to see so many different aspects the stunning state of Victoria has to offer, from beautiful small ocean towns, to stunning rain forests, culminating in the magnificent 12 Apostles and the even more stunning Loch Ard Gorge. Inspite of the early start, the GOR is a must see trip in my opinion. Just make sure you have comfortable walking shoes! Please convey my thanks to Anthony. He is a natural at what he does!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We are thrilled to hear that your Great Ocean Road trip was one of the best days out during your time in Melbourne. It sounds like you really enjoyed seeing the variety of Victoria, from the charming coastal towns to the rainforests, and of course the magnificent 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge. We are so pleased that the small group size and comfortable mini bus added to your experience, and that Anthony was able to make the day so welcoming and memorable. We will be sure to pass on your thanks to him as he will be delighted to hear your kind words. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed every part of the tour and we hope to welcome you on another Explore Australia Tours adventure soon.
The trip description is inaccurate. On our trip the itinerary was in reverse (not as advertised) and we did not stop at Kennett River, Lavers Hill or Gibsons Steps. However we did stop at Apollo Bay. Our tour guide was not very engaging, I learnt little about the history of the land we were on or the aboriginal custodians. At the stops it seemed other tour groups were receiving more information than us. Several times our guide told us he would share more information later but just...never did. This meant the stops felt long considering we weren't given information so were just taking photos. As a general note it's worth saying that on a bus tour you don't get the same vistas of the Great Ocean Road as you would if driving yourself in a car.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience on the Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles tour did not meet your expectations and that aspects of the day felt underwhelming. While our itineraries are carefully planned, the order of stops and inclusions can occasionally change due to factors outside our control such as road conditions, maintenance, weather or natural events. Our intention is always to ensure guest safety and maximise the overall experience on the day. That said, we understand how disappointing it can be when the tour does not run exactly as advertised and certain stops are missed. We will be reviewing this internally to ensure our tour descriptions are clear and accurately reflect possible variations. We are particularly concerned to hear your feedback regarding the level of commentary and engagement from the guide. Providing informative, engaging and respectful commentary, including sharing the history of the land and acknowledging Aboriginal custodians, is an important part of our tours. It is disappointing to learn this was not delivered to the standard we expect, and your comments will be followed up with our guiding team to ensure this is addressed. We also appreciate your honest note about the nature of bus touring along the Great Ocean Road. While guided tours offer convenience and access to key highlights, we understand they can feel different to travelling by car, and we value you sharing this perspective for future travellers. Thank you again for your feedback. It is invaluable in helping us improve our tours and the experiences we provide. We hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and deliver a more engaging and memorable experience.
Our guide looked at the weather forecast for the day and determined, on our approval, that it would be best to do the tour in the “reverse” order to miss afternoon weather that was projected. This turned out to be the best decision as our weather was perfect all day. The sights are spectacular, the long ride is broken up with a cafe stop in the morning, a lunch break, and a chocolate shop stop later. Along the whole ride (all day) our guide shared historical information and stories about Australia, he was very entertaining and engaging. We experienced the sandstone formations along the great ocean road, a rainforest, and the ocean road itself. We extended our New Zealand trip for a return to Australia just for this tour and visiting friends. This did not disappoint.
Thank you for your amazing review. We are delighted you enjoyed the Full Day Tour of Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles from Melbourne, from the spectacular sandstone formations and rainforest to the scenic ocean road. We are glad the reverse itinerary worked perfectly and that your guide’s stories made the day entertaining and engaging.
If you want to see a rainforest, koalas, kangaroos, scenic ocean roads, walk on the beach topped off seeing the 12 apostles Darren is your man. His associate, Stewart was bonus time for us as well. Highly recommend this outing!!
So happy to hear you had such a wonderful experience on the Great Ocean Road tour. Darren and Stewart will both be delighted to know they made the day special for you. It sounds like you enjoyed a perfect mix of wildlife, rainforest and breathtaking coastal views. Thank you for the recommendation.
We did the reverse trip and managed to see the attractions before the crowds started to grow. Beautiful views, amazing experience. The driver and tour guide, Mark, is the best. He was excellent throughout the 12 hour day. 5 stars for him.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are so glad you enjoyed the reverse Great Ocean Road tour — it is such a great way to beat the crowds and soak in the beautiful views in a more relaxed way. Mark will be absolutely delighted to hear your kind words. He puts so much care into each tour, and it is wonderful to know it made your day so special. We hope to see you on another tour soon!
Andy was our guide and was great. He was very knowledgeable about all the areas that we covered. He had a lot of unique stories that he shared.
Thank you for your kind review! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your Great Ocean Road tour with Andy. His knowledge and unique stories truly make the journey special. We hope to see you on another adventure soon!
