Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At:

Stop At:
Port Campbell National Park, Great Ocean Road, Port Campbell, Victoria 3269 Australia
Your first glimps into the amazing views from the cliffs of the Great Ocean Road.

Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At:
The Grotto, Great Ocean Rd.,, Port Campbell, Victoria Australia
A lesser known location that you will visit which is less frequented by tourists, yet provides amazing views from a gorge that includes a number of blowholes. A great place for photo sessions.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At:
London Bridge, west of Port Campbell on Great Ocean Road, Port Campbell, Victoria 3269 Australia
At this location you will see that London Bridge really has fallen down. You will be informed that for people "in the know" this location is the London Arch, and you will be entertained to find out how a secret affair had became public news...literally. This location is one of the key highlights on the Great Ocean Road.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At:
Port Campbell Scenic Lookout, 12 Great Ocean Road, Port Campbell, Victoria 3269 Australia
This scenic lookout provides a great overview of the town of Port Cambell below. You will see one of the very few places which provides a break in the cliffs to allow access to the beach. You will have the option of doing a self guide across a scenic suspension bridge to the town below.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At:
The Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road & Booringa Road Port Campbell National Park, Port Campbell, Victoria 3269 Australia
The famous Twelve Apostles. Have fun counting the various limestone stacks which form the Twelve Apostles which have been formed by erosion. An amazing sight, but there are much fewer than twelve.
Duration: 45 minutes
Pass By:
Loch Ard Gorge, Great Ocean Road Port Campbell National Park, Victoria 3269 Australia
Due to unstable cliffs, this location is closed to the public until further notice. We will do a drive-by instead, and visit the nearby beach below the Gibson Steps instead.

Gibsons Steps, Great Ocean Road Port Campbell National Park, Port Campbell, Victoria 3269 Australia
A dramatic coastal attraction located just past the Twelve Apostles, consisting of 86 steps carved into a 70-meter cliff, leading down to a wild, scenic beach where you can view the towering limestone stacks known as Gog and Magog.
