Itinerary
Near Bells Beach we search for Wild Kangaroos in the bush. As we leave the city of Melbourne early before other tour groups, we normally arrive at the start of The Great Ocean Road around dawn, where the chances of kangaroo sightings in the wild are increasingly higher.
Views of Anglesea Beach from Various Locations. You can also enjoy a stop at the nearby Split Point lighthouse for some magnificent views
Your first chance to step onto the Golden Sands of The Great Ocean Road at this magnificent beach.
This is seen, by many, as the official start of the Great Ocean Road. here you will learn the incredible story of how and why the road was built more than 100 years ago.
Toilet Stop, Beach Views and another chance to stretch your legs.
Here we travel from Lorne to Apollo Bay with various photo stops along the way. This is one of the most visually appealing parts of the road as we travel along cliff top roads. the Extended Tour gives you a total of 6 hours of sightseeing outside the car (compared with only 3 hours on the Standard Tour).
A great place to spot koala's in the wild. We will also spend some time looking for koala's as well.
Often seen as the best lookout on the Great Ocean Road. As we leave early, we normally have this lookout all to ourselves!
Stunning scenery and one of the best beaches in Australia. A chance to use the nearby toilet facilities.
Join your guide for a short 25 minute guided walk of this magnificent rainforest.
Just before we reach the 12 Apostles, you have time to venture down onto the golden sands, to some of the Apostles from a beach perspective.

About Melbourne
Melbourne is the capital of Victoria on the Yarra River, known for laneway cafés, street art, grand Victorian buildings and a calendar full of sport.
Melbourne grew rich on the gold rush of the 1850s, and the grand buildings from that time still stand in the grid of the city centre, among them Flinders Street Station with its yellow facade and the domed Royal Exhibition Building. Federation Square and the National Gallery of Victoria stand close to the Yarra, and trams rattle along the main streets. Narrow lanes such as Hosier Lane are covered in ever-changing street art.
Top-ranked sights in Melbourne: Loch Ard Gorge, Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road.
