Location

Explore all the best bits of the Great Ocean Road and avoid the crowds by doing it in reverse on this popular day trip with Wildlife Tours.

A Great Ocean Road tour is one of the best things to do from Melbourne – it’s the perfect way to escape the city and discover this incredibly scenic and rugged slice of the Aussie coastline.

Departing in the early morning, this trip heads straight to the highlight of any Great Ocean Road tour – The 12 Apostles.

By going there first, you avoid the large crowds of tourists and can enjoy the spectacular coastline views in a much more relaxed way.

Once you’ve got your postcard perfect shots of the magnificent 12 Apostles, you’ll spend the day making your way back to Melbourne, stopping at all the other Great Ocean Road highlights along the way.

Stop for ice cream at Apollo Bay, visit the Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch, a favourite spot for photographs, and enjoy some fascinating rainforest walks. It’s a great way to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Victoria and even spot some wild koalas at Cape Otway Lighthouse.

It’s an awesome day trip form Melbourne and the ideal way to see the Great Ocean Road for those who don’t drive or don’t have time for an overnight tour.
