Highlights
- Melbourne - We pick up from any location provided
- The Great Ocean Road - We travel along this scenic road
- Split Point Lighthouse - The lighthouse was constructed in 1891. For 27 years, three lighthouse keepers worked at this remote location, ensuring the light was operating well and communicating with ships via a number of code systems. The lighthouse still has its original construction with a wonderful staircase and timber fittings. The lantern still operates having had more than three different light sources over its history. The tower was converted to automatic operation in 1919. The keepers’ cottages and stables form an intrinsic part of the lighthouse precinct.
- Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway - Learn more about the history of the road build and an opportunity to take memorable photos.
- Apollo Bay - We will stop here and enjoy lunch of your choice. I always recommend the fresh Fish and Chips which every visitor has loved.
- Twelve Apostles - This is the most popular destination in Victoria and a must see
- Loch Ard Gorge - Another natural treasure just next to twelve Apostles
- The Razorback - The Razorback features an astonishing artistic form of nature never been seen before. The Razorback’s breathtaking views make this trip memorable.
- Great Otway National Park - Here the scenery changes to dense tall blue gum trees and if you are lucky you will spot the koalas in the trees.
- Teddy’s Lookout - Probably the most scenic spot on this tour, a must for views across the Ocean, Great Ocean Road and Lorne Beach

Additional Information
Enjoy a pick-up from your lodging and embark on a journey to the renowned Great Ocean Road, an essential experience for any Melbourne tourist. This excursion is private and tailored specifically to your needs; we don’t accommodate other parties besides yours. Travel in style in our contemporary Mercedes V Class minivans that boast ample space, air conditioning, and seats specifically designed for a comfortable long-distance journey.
Contrary to other tour packages, you have the flexibility to decide the locations you want to visit and the amount of time you wish to spend there. The tour’s versatile nature ensures that if a location piques your interest, you can spend more time exploring it. The serpentine route is best appreciated in a compact vehicle, with numerous breaks to relish the breathtaking sights and capture unforgettable pictures.
The presence of a misfit group can often mar the tour experience; hence, if privacy is your priority, opt for this tour. This excursion is also a great choice for families with children, as we can provide child seats; please inform us after booking.
If you’re arriving on a cruise ship, the pickup time can be adjusted as per your convenience, and you can also opt for our shorter, direct tour to the 12 Apostles, guaranteeing you an early return.

An Absolute Must - Melvin was beyond phenomenal! Seriously one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch tour. He went out of his way to make sure we had the best tour possible and made us feel very at home. He knows how to avoid the big tour crowds so you can truly enjoy your tour. His vehicle was comfortable and clean.
The great ocean tour was long but absolutely worth it and Melvin’s tour made it that much better. Can’t recommend him enough.

THE HIGHLIGHT of our 21 days in Australia and New Zealand - Ange was an excellent guide. He picked us up promptly at our hotel, customized the day to our needs/wants and provided knowledgable commentary throughout the day. The bakery cookies where we stopped for a morning break were perfection. We skipped lunch, stopping mid-afternoon for ice cream that we ate in the car. We were entertained from beginning to end by Ange and the amazing views. Truly a day to remember for the rest of our lives.

Great Ocean Road Trip - Melvin was friendly and very knowledgeable about the sites we visited, the flora and fauna and the entire area. He was conscientious of our time constraints, and worked with us to get the most out of our trip. We were treated to some wonderful small town restaurants on our trip out and back! We recommend his services to everyone!

Wonderful trip with Ange! :) - We had a really great time visiting the 12 Apostles! Ange was very on time, polite and insightful. He brought us not only to all the best spots to take pictures, but also to the best lunch spot (we had really, really fresh seafood)!
Overall, we had a very good time and would definitely recommend the tour to all our friends and family!
Thanks again!

Must do tour - While scenery was certainly very beautiful, our guide/driver Ange was fantastic. My family and I had good conversations with him throughout the tour. Drive was long but time went by fast.

Do this one!!! - We had Anje as our guide, and although the weather wasn’t cooperating, we had a fabulous day! He made a lot of stops, recommended a delicious place for lunch, we had coffee breaks and saw all the beautiful scenery in between.
The car was very clean, Anje was an absolute pleasure to talk with and he had anything and everything we needed!
Highly recommended!
Thank you for helping us make a very memorable day!
