Itinerary

Exact itineraries vary depending on the tour type. 

Our small group (maximum 8 guests) will leave Melbourne and head straight to the famous 12 Apostles before the crowds arrive. Here you will take a 1 km walk along the promenade and enjoy the breathtaking views of the limestone cliffs. Then it’s off to the Gibson Steps: You walk down the 70 m long cliff path to the beach, where there is plenty of time to take some impressive photos.

Afterwards, a delicious lunch awaits you at our favorite café before we drive through the magical Great Otway National Park. A short hike through ancient rainforests will take you to one of the Otways’ pristine waterfalls – places the big bus companies can’t get to.

Afterwards, take a walk among the giants of the forest in the Californian redwoods before continuing along the legendary Great Ocean Road. In Apollo Bay, you can enjoy an optional ice cream. We then stop at Kennett River, where you can observe native koalas, king parrots and kangaroos in their natural environment.

Our last stop is the beautiful coastal town of Lorne: you can stroll along the beach or enjoy a snack before we start our return journey to Melbourne.
