We invite you to experience a luxury tour of the Great Ocean Road and the Twelve Apostles.
While we can customize this tour to your preferences, we highly recommend our reverse itinerary. By departing early and traveling inland first, we avoid the crowds to ensure you enjoy Victoria's rugged coastline and pristine bushland in comfort.
The journey includes visits to Lorne, Apollo Bay, and the world-renowned Bells Beach. Following lunch at a local café in Apollo Bay, we will proceed to Port Campbell National Park to explore the Twelve Apostles via walking tracks or an optional helicopter ride.
Our one-day tours are fully flexible to accommodate your interests and time constraints, including adjusted return times if required.

Excellent Guide and Personalized Itineray
We had limited time in Melbourne but were told the Great Ocean Road couldn’t be missed. We were glad we booked a private tour (4 people) and spent the day exploring different sites.
Peter took us on a route to avoid the crowds, tailored the itinerary to our interests, and we also saw kangaroos and koalas in the wild. We highly recommend this tour and Peter.
Operator response
Yes a great day on The Great Ocean Road. Thanks so much for taking the time to review your day.

Peter was our guide. He was knowledgeable, kind, easy going and above all he was a great and save driver. In addition to the 12 apostles, we got to enjoy seeing koalas and kangaroos in the wild.

Fantastic Tour guided bus driver
This tours takes from about 7am morning after picking up guests from vaious stops. Leaves at 8.30 ours was a half an hour later. We enjoyed the drivers information. The stops and views were spectacular. Ending with the sun going down at the 12 apostles. One would have to arrange via online bookings which usually offers a reduced price. Or specials on Mondays. Look for a sunny day to do this tour. Cost about 65 dollars. Although one would have to travel to a meeting point quite early start.
