Great Ocean Road - Private Discovery Tour
Overview
About
- The Great Ocean Road tour for guests who want the best experience of the region in a private tour that focuses on discovery and learning with dinner, snacks and knowledgable guide included.
- The tour begins later than other operators because we understand that being tired reduces the enjoyment. A later start means you sleep longer, and we also miss the traffic.
- Taking the inland route, we enter the Great Ocean Road at the far end and make our way towards Melbourne, avoiding the crowds.
- On this all-inclusive tour you will visit well known locations, as well as numerous lesser known, less crowded, but amazing, locations. Unlike most tours of the region, this disovery tour includes over 8 locations where you have the opportunity to take photos and enjoy the amazing characteristics of each location.
- There are ample opportunities for toilet breaks and stops to photograph wildlife. Our thoughtful design of the tour provides opportunities to see wild kangaroos, koalas and cockatoos.
