Description

The Great Ocean Road tour for guests who want the best experience of the region in a private tour that focuses on discovery and learning with dinner, snacks and knowledgable guide included. The tour begins later than other operators because we understand that being tired reduces the enjoyment. A later start means you sleep longer, and we also miss the traffic. Taking the inland route, we enter the Great Ocean Road at the far end and make our way towards Melbourne, avoiding the crowds. On this all-inclusive tour you will visit well known locations, as well as numerous lesser known, less crowded, but amazing, locations. Unlike most tours of the region, this disovery tour includes over 8 locations where you have the opportunity to take photos and enjoy the amazing characteristics of each location. There are ample opportunities for toilet breaks and stops to photograph wildlife. Our thoughtful design of the tour provides opportunities to see wild kangaroos, koalas and cockatoos.
