Experience a one of a kind private tour from Melbourne to the world famous Great Ocean Road. Discover the 12 Apostles, the Loch Ard Gorge and drive along the magnificent Otway Ranges. Indulge in chocolate tastings, lunch at Wildlife Wonders before enjoying a guided conservation walk and much more.
Get ready for a day full of iconic landscapes and unforgettable moments as you travel from Melbourne CBD to the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. You will be picked up from your accommodation in Melbourne CBD then your journey begins. Settle into the luxe bus, recline your seat and grab a blanket if you’re chilly in the morning and enjoy the panoramic views from the privacy windows. You will first cross the famous West Gate Bridge, journeying inland past Colac, the gateway to the famous Otway's National Park. Stop for a coffee and enjoy a delicious chocolate tasting at G.O.R.G.E Chocolates & Alpaca Farm. You will also have the opportunity to hand feed the friendly alpacas, starting your day with some serious smiles.
You will then head to visit the breathtaking 12 Apostles, where you venture out onto the viewing platforms for some incredible photos. Next, visit Loch Ard Gorge where you will learn about the heroic sea rescue from your experienced guide, before meandering down the gorge on a refreshing beach walk. Next, stop for lunch with a tea or coffee at Wildlife Wonders, a beautiful not-for-profit wildlife centre where your conservation guide will share with you bushland secrets as you learn about the plants and animals that call the Otway’s home. Enjoy a one hour guided tour, meeting wallabies, koalas, kangaroos, emus, birds, and other native animals.
Relax and reset, enjoying spectacular views from your bus seat as you continue past the seaside town of Apollo Bay and Lorne. Stroll down the beach and spot the surfers catching some unbelievable waves. Your journey will have one more stop at the Memorial Arch, where you will discover the stories of the incredible returned service soldiers who built this remarkable road. You will be dropped back off at your accomodation in the evening. Share this amazing day of discovery withy your family or friends, creating memories that will last you a lifetime!

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in.

If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
