About

Escape the crowds and experience the spectacular scenery of the Great Ocean Road on this small group tour.

Depart mid-morning making your way towards the Surf Coast with frequent scenic stops, including an opportunity to visit the beach at the Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch. Along the way you will see pristine beaches, pass through idyllic seaside villages and stop to look for some of Australia’s iconic wildlife including wild koalas & colourful parrots.

Journey onwards to the Shipwreck Coast, where you’ll visit the scene of Australia’s most famous shipwreck at Loch Ard Gorge. Learn the story of the two teenage survivors, who escaped with their lives while 52 others were lost. Descend the Gibson’s Steps where you will be dwarfed by the high cliff line and the enormous offshore limestone stacks.
