Description
Travel in an air-conditioned vehicle sized to your group as you explore the Great Ocean Road’s dramatic cliffs and ocean vistas. The tour begins with a short stop at a chocolate factory before photo opportunities at the Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch.
Continue to Lorne for more ocean views and a lesser-known lookout point offering additional coastal scenery. Apollo Bay provides a lunch stop with multiple dining choices alongside coastal views.
Near Apollo Bay, watch for wild koalas in the wild, avoiding zoo entrance fees. Visit the Twelve Apostles, towering limestone rock formations shaped by the sea, followed by Loch Ard Gorge, known for its historic shipwreck and striking turquoise waters.
The final stop is London Bridge, a natural coastal arch partially collapsed in 1990. Less crowded than other sites, it provides expansive views of the rugged coastline, especially dramatic when lit by sunset in cooler months.
