Additional Information
This expedition covers all well-known as well as lesser-known spots along the Great Ocean Road.
We commence our journey from Melbourne towards the Great Ocean Road. The morning is punctuated by several halts as we traverse the cliffside route of the Great Ocean Road. These breaks include savoring morning tea at a beach, capturing scenic views in photos, and engaging in nature walks to spot Koalas and vibrant King Parrots.
Our lunch halt is at the charming seaside town of Apollo Bay, where you get the opportunity to discover the place and grab a bite. Post-lunch, our course runs through the Otway Ranges.
Next, we approach the shipwreck coast to behold the breathtaking 12 Apostles. As one of Australia’s acclaimed tourist attractions, the 12 Apostles are truly remarkable. Our final halt along the Great Ocean Road is the Loch Ard Gorge. Descend the staircase to appreciate the gorge, its sandstone cliffs, the incredible beach and the sea cave.
Our journey concludes with a return to Melbourne, stopping over at the town of Colac for some revitalizing snacks.

The Great Ocean Road Tour - It was an awesome day. Our guide JAMES was EXCELLENT. He was witty, a mine of knowledge and information about the trip and very helpful. He took us round the most beautiful road journey and gave us a glimpse of the most wonderful spots. The highlight of the journey was sighting the Koalas and kangaroos besides the Apostles and it was his inherent knowledge of the area which helped us see those wonderful animals in their natural habitat.
I would like to really thank JAMES for all his insights about the Australian history and the flora and fauna which made this trip a memorable one.

A super day out, with a great tour leader! - A truly great experience, and a fantastic tour guide (James Clark), which made all the difference. James made the day by sharing his historical knowledge of Melbourne along with great humor and putting all the tourists at ease. The tour itself gave a great insights, beautiful scenery and we even saw a Koala and a Mob of Kangaroos in the wild! I'd thoroughly recommend this tour to others!

A little rushed - Seeing koalas on the drive along ocean rd. Beautiful scenery. Tour guide was rather agitated. He was more worried on the group being on time rather than explaining more on the 12 Apostles.

Long bus ride with... - Long bus ride with occasional stops to take photos. the views are stunning, but not sure if are worth the long drive. We were supposed to go for a walk in the Melba Gully National Park but did not. Overall not worth the money.

NO COMMENT! - It has been 32 years since I went down 'The Great Ocean Road'... John was our driver & guide.
Acknowledgment of his travels down there? 100% Where he lost his tip was... at 7 a.m., YOU'RE UP! Not us passengers! He had the music, WAY UP! Some fellow travelers told him to turn it down. Obviously, Not! Even worst, the final 2 hours back to Melbourne, after 11 hours on the road, etc, you are totally ZONK'T' out, You don't even want to hear a flute! So, I regret not doing this on my own with a rental car, where you can do ALL of your own stops & YOUR CHOICE of MUSIC, too!~ With many tours taken with VIATOR, poor loser John, comes in third worst tour guide (due to the music, guess that was MORE important than our comfort?), that I had came across (the two above him was Israel tour witch & the chick who took her baby with her to work in Machu Pichu Will I book with VIATOR again? YES! but this trip, do a RENTAL CAR!

Uncomfortable - The location was good but the vechicle was terrible. Supposed to be a midsize coach , but was a 28 seater old and very uncomfortable for such a long tour.
