The Great Ocean Road is full of surprises: winding coastal roads, charming seaside towns, eucalyptus forests and towering limestone cliffs. This full-day adventure from Melbourne brings together the coast's most memorable highlights, with breathtaking scenery around every corner.
EXPERIENCE THE COAST FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE
The magnificent Twelve Apostles are the star of the journey. During daylight saving months, enjoy up to 75 minutes in the precinct, and another 45 minutes at Loch Ard Gorge (for both Razorback and the reopened beach), giving you extra time for spectacular viewpoints, photos and the new Visitor Centre.
Want to see more from above? Take your adventure to the skies with an optional scenic helicopter flight for incredible aerial views of the Shipwreck Coast! Flights cost extra and depend on weather, availability and tour timing.
As the days grow shorter in the cooler months (Apr - Sep), the adventure extends to London Bridge, a remarkable natural arch beyond Loch Ard Gorge. With a little luck and favourable weather, you might catch the coastline glowing in the golden light of sunset.
London Bridge is a cooler-months highlight and is not included in the standard daylight saving itinerary. Sunset views cannot be guaranteed.
