Description

Embark on a private luxury or small-group adventure along the Great Ocean Road — Australia’s most spectacular coastal journey. This full-day experience combines breathtaking landscapes, local culture, and curated comfort for travellers who value flexibility, discovery, and style. Begin your journey with a stop in Colac, a charming countryside town where you can enjoy morning tea or breakfast (own expense). From there, the scenery transforms as you head toward the Southern Ocean, revealing sweeping coastal vistas and dramatic cliffs. Your next stop is Mutton Bird Lookout, once submerged beneath the ocean. Marvel at rugged rock formations and watch for Fairy Penguins along the shoreline. Continue to the iconic Twelve Apostles, towering limestone stacks rising from the Southern Ocean. Visiting early morning or late afternoon provides optimal lighting and fewer crowds. A short drive away lies Loch Ard Gorge, named after the 1878 shipwreck of the Loch Ard. Explore the golden beach, nearby memorial, and hear stories of shipwreck survivors. Pass through Port Campbell National Park and experience the natural beauty of the region. Venture into Great Otway National Park, a lush wonderland of giant tree ferns, eucalyptus forests, and vibrant wildlife. Walk along Mait’s Rest Rainforest Track, surrounded by ancient trees, and keep an eye out for wallabies, cockatoos, and koalas. Stop at the Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway, built to honour the soldiers who constructed this iconic road after World War I. Enjoy free time in Apollo Bay, a picturesque coastal village perfect for a beach stroll, local cuisine, or boutique shopping. Next, visit Kennet River, one of the best places to spot wild koalas and colourful parrots. End your day at the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery, indulging in handmade chocolates, local treats, and artisanal ice cream. Optional stops may include the Split Point Lighthouse in Aireys Inlet, offering panoramic views of the coastline (subject to time, weather, and access). Private Tour: Fully personalized itinerary covering all stops (except Split Point Lighthouse if time or access doesn’t permit). Small Group Tour: 12 seater, 22 seater vehicles, depending on availability. Your guide ensures you experience at last six top highlights along this unforgettable journey. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing coastal escape, photography adventure, or a luxurious day of discovery, this Great Ocean Road Private or Small Group Tour offers the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and local charm — an unforgettable Australian experience.
