About this tour
A three-day private tour of Victoria's Great Ocean Road with your own driver and guide, departing Melbourne at 10am. You'll explore the limestone cliffs and coastal scenery from Apollo Bay as your base, including the 12 Apostles rock formations and Great Otway National Park. The extended timeframe lets you tackle forest walks and quieter stretches beyond the standard stops, returning to Melbourne around 4pm on day three.
Highlights
- 12 Apostles limestone stacks and Port Campbell National Park
- Guided walks through old-growth Otway rainforest
- Two nights in Apollo Bay, gateway to western coast
- Private vehicle with experienced local guide throughout
- Maits Rest and other lesser-known scenic spots
What to expect
You'll spend three days in a comfortable private vehicle with a knowledgeable guide who shapes the itinerary to your interests. Days one and two centre on Apollo Bay with time for proper forest walks into the Otways—expect mossy fern gullies, tall mountain ash, and creeks. Day three focuses on the dramatic Port Campbell coastline: the Apostles themselves plus weathered rock shelves and sea caves. Walking is involved but manageable for most fitness levels. Meals are on you, so book accommodation in Apollo Bay separately and plan where you'll eat each evening.
