Full Day Great Ocean Road Tour: Experience the Majestic Beauty of Victoria’s Coastal Wonderland

Embark on an unforgettable journey along one of the world’s most scenic coastal drives with our Full Day Great Ocean Road Tour from Melbourne. As your trusted tour and transportation company in Melbourne, we invite you to join us for a day of adventure, exploration, and breathtaking natural beauty along the iconic Great Ocean Road.

Tour Itinerary:

  • Morning Departure from Melbourne: Your day begins with a convenient morning departure from Melbourne, where you’ll be greeted by our friendly tour guide and board one of our comfortable vehicles – whether it’s a spacious minibus, van, bus, or coach, depending on the size of your group. As we depart the city, sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic drive through the picturesque countryside as we make our way towards the Great Ocean Road.
  • Breathtaking Coastal Views: As we approach the Great Ocean Road, prepare to be mesmerized by the stunning coastal vistas that unfold before you. Stretching for over 240 kilometers along the southeastern coast of Australia, the Great Ocean Road offers some of the most dramatic and breathtaking scenery in the country. From rugged cliffs and golden beaches to lush rainforests and towering rock formations, every twist and turn of the road reveals a new and awe-inspiring panorama.
  • Memorial Arch at Eastern View: Our first stop along the Great Ocean Road is the iconic Memorial Arch at Eastern View. This historic landmark commemorates the soldiers who served in World War I and is a popular photo spot for visitors. Take a moment to admire the grandeur of the arch and capture some memorable snapshots against the backdrop of the ocean.
  • Loch Ard Gorge: Continuing along the Great Ocean Road, we make our way to Loch Ard Gorge, one of the most stunning natural attractions on the coastline. Named after the shipwrecked clipper ship “Loch Ard,” this dramatic gorge features towering limestone cliffs, pristine beaches, and turquoise waters. Explore the rugged coastline, stroll along the sandy shores, and marvel at the sheer beauty of this breathtaking landscape.
  • The Twelve Apostles: No visit to the Great Ocean Road would be complete without a stop at the iconic Twelve Apostles – a collection of limestone stacks rising majestically from the Southern Ocean. These ancient rock formations, sculpted by centuries of erosion, are one of Australia’s most famous landmarks and a must-see attraction for visitors from around the world. Take in the awe-inspiring views from the various lookout points, snap some photos of these towering monoliths, and immerse yourself in the natural splendor of this UNESCO World Heritage-listed site.
  • London Arch: Our next stop on the tour is London Arch, formerly known as London Bridge. This natural limestone arch formation offers another stunning vantage point from which to admire the beauty of the coastline. Learn about the geological history of the area, spot local wildlife such as seabirds and marine mammals, and soak up the tranquility of this remote and rugged landscape.
  • Port Campbell: After a morning of exploration and discovery, we make our way to the charming coastal town of Port Campbell for a well-deserved break. Here, you’ll have free time to relax, enjoy lunch at one of the local cafes or restaurants (not included), and explore the quaint shops and galleries that line the streets. Take a leisurely stroll along the scenic foreshore, breathe in the fresh sea air, and savor the laid-back coastal atmosphere before we continue our journey.
  • Gibson Steps: Our final stop on the tour is the Gibson Steps, where you’ll have the opportunity to descend onto the beach and get up close to the towering cliffs and rock formations that line the coastline. Named after the Scottish settler who carved the original steps into the cliff face, this secluded stretch of beach offers a unique perspective of the Great Ocean Road and provides a memorable finale to our day of adventure.
  • Return to Melbourne: As the afternoon draws to a close, we reluctantly bid farewell to the Great Ocean Road and begin our journey back to Melbourne. Reflect on the day’s adventures, share stories and memories with your fellow travelers, and enjoy the scenic drive through the countryside as we make our way back to the city. Sit back, relax, and soak in the last glimpses of the stunning Australian landscape before we drop you off at your accommodation, concluding our unforgettable Full Day Great Ocean Road Tour.
