Enjoy a picturesque seaside town for lunch & take a refreshing dip in the sea if you bring your bathers. We really do make the Great Ocean Road AMAZING! Our thoughtful details along the way add-up to a big difference to all the others, we ONLY tour this incredible region so let us make your once-in-a-lifetime day here the best it can be with our medium size bus that can access real highlights the large coaches can't get to! > be collected from Melbourne, Southbank & St Kilda hotels early, but rest for a couple hours while we exit the city direct to the 12 Apostles (don't worry - it's worth it) + awaken with barista coffee at a country cafe if you wish, enjoy morning juice & Anzac biscuits on us before the final leg through farming countryside to arrive at the majestic coastline you've come to explore with less visitors, for a little more serenity perhaps: + Gibson Steps view from the top or conquer the grand sea cliff steps to the rugged shoreline (if conditions permit) or the Thunder Cave - on a rough day the waves crash with a loud boom! On a calm day the serenity will take your breath away + 12 Apostles be mesmerised by the alluring stacks, optional helicopter ride if you'd like us to pre-arrange + Loch Ard Gorge jewel in the crown + Island Archway & the Razorback a beast when raging seas swell All this world-class scenery viewing calls for a re-charge at pretty Port Campbell town for lunch, fish 'n chips on the beach perhaps? Bring your bathers for a refreshing dip if you like. > leave the National Park to travel along the famous Great Ocean Road - through the forest of giant Mountain Ash gum trees before the coast-hugging glory unfolds before your eyes; + step inside Maits Rest rainforest for a moment to feel like you're in another world - showcasing the diversity of the Great Ocean Road + pick up an award-winning ice cream at Apollo Bay + Memorial Arch album-cover-worthy pic to complete the photos + drive by a kangaroo hang-out to see who's about > journey back with whole hearts & wide smiles, forever grateful share your lifelong memory photos & now relax as we arrive to Melbourne around 7:30pm depending on variables in the day, to commence the hotel drops & for your dinner plans How does all that sound?
