Great Ocean Road in Reverse Tour Itinerary
Australia’s Great Ocean Road is one of the country’s most spectacular natural attractions, spanning a rugged coastline peppered with pristine beaches and charming coves. On this one-day adventure, you’ll get to experience everything the region has to offer while learning all about its fascinating history.
We’ll kick things off by heading straight out of the city and towards the Shipwreck Coast, where we’ll stop before continuing on the Great Ocean Road in the lesser-travelled direction.
When we’re on-site, we’ll take you straight to the impressive rock formation of the 12 Apostles, where you can marvel at nature’s stunning work and learn about the natural history of this breathtaking landmark. We’ll then move on to Loch Ard Gorge in the pretty surroundings of Port Campbell. At each spot, there’ll be time for you to take some photos and marvel at the incredible beauty of the Great Ocean Road.
Our next stop is Maits Rest and the ancient rainforest of the Great Otway National Park. You’ll be able to take a walk through soaring trees, wander amongst vibrant plant life, and spot some of Australia’s best-loved native creatures as you go.
We’ll then continue on the winding coastal road, pointing out sprawling beaches packed with surfers and pretty, hidden coves as we go. We’ll stop off at Memorial Arch, which gives an insight into the importance of the Great Ocean Road in Australia’s history.
Then we’ll make our way further along the coast to look for some koalas before stopping off for a break and a bite in another charming town on the Great Ocean Road. After we’ve had a break, we’ll take you back to the hustle and bustle of Melbourne where the tour comes to a close.
