Great Ocean Road & 12 Apostles Day Tour with Classic Spots

Your experience

Start with something sweet

Your day begins with a convenient pickup from Melbourne CBD, followed by a morning break at the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery. Grab a coffee or a chocolate treat to set the tone for the coastal drive ahead.

Memorial Arch & the charm of Lorne

Continue to the Memorial Arch, where you’ll learn about the workers who carved this famous route into the cliffs. Then make your way to Lorne—a laid‑back seaside town where the ocean feels close enough to touch.

Scenic lookout & a relaxed lunch by the sea

Pull over at the Cumberland River lookout for sweeping views of rugged cliffs meeting the Southern Ocean. Afterwards, enjoy free time in Apollo Bay, where you can choose a café or simply unwind with an ocean‑view lunch (at your own expense).

Koalas in the wild & coast-hugging vistas

Head inland briefly to Barham River Road, a well‑known habitat for wild koalas lounging in eucalyptus canopies. Continue along the coastline until the landscape opens up to the grandeur of the Twelve Apostles—massive limestone pillars rising from swirling blue waters.

Loch Ard Gorge & a finale at London Bridge

Walk into the dramatic curves of Loch Ard Gorge, where your guide shares the gripping tale of the 1878 shipwreck. End your journey at London Bridge, a striking natural arch that rewards you with peaceful, lesser‑visited coastal views before you make your way back to Melbourne.
