Great Ocean Road and Beyond Admission included

• The Great Ocean Road is divided into three distinct sections, the Surf Coast, Otway Ranges and the Shipwreck Coast.
• We allow ample time to explore all three sections. We start the journey along the Great Ocean Road at Torquay (Surf Coast). This stretch of coast presents the first of countless photo opportunities, as we encounter stunning coastal views and lookouts and visit such places as the famous Bells Beach. Turn your gaze inland and see incredible native Australian wildlife including the Eastern Grey Kangaroos as they graze in the wild.
• Our journey continues as we travel the impressive and scenic cliff-hugging section of the Great Ocean Road.
• The itinerary includes visiting sites such as the ‘Memorial Arch’ and hear the intriguing story of this incredible road, before arriving in Lorne, the largest of the seaside townships with its abundance of shops, breath in that sea air as we stop for a stroll and photographs.
• From Lorne, we continue along this spectacular road, and the Wye river region where we stop for lunch at the Wye River Cafe which overlooks the sea. Once lunch is done we continue along this iconic road visiting many scenic spots including The Kennett River where you can spot koalas and many colourful native birds in the wild. Travel through Apollo Bay and into the Great Otway National Park (Otway Ranges). Here we offer a guided walk through a cool temperate rainforest gully to see the world’s tallest flowering plants, prehistoric trees and ferns and many other unique features.
• Our next stop on the itinerary is undoubtedly one of the most iconic vistas within Australia and truly representative of Australia’s natural beauty, the 12 Apostles.

Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway

The Memorial Arch makes for a great first stop as we begin our journey as it marks the start of the Great Ocean Road. Our guests love to capture the start of their Great Ocean Road and Beyond adventure with a photo. The arch was built in 1939, to commemorate the returned Soldiers of World War 1 who famously built the Great Ocean Road. In 1983 the original arch had to be replaced when bush fires set it ablaze however the original sign still sits on the top of the arch, for all to see.

Great Otway National Park

Walk in a temporate rain forest - The Great Otway National Park stretches from Torquay through to Princetown and up through the Otways hinterland towards Colac.
