Great Ocean Road Reverse Itinerary Day Tour

See one of the most spectacular natural landscapes on the planet without the crowds. Our day starts early because we travel inland first and arrive at the 12 Apostles before all the crowds get there, then come back through the world-famous coastline of the Great Ocean Road.

You are guaranteed to visit at least four awe-inspiring attractions: Gibson Steps, Loch Ard Gorge, The Razorback and, of course, the 12 Apostles. There's no rushing, with plenty of stops for amazing pictures, a 20 minute rainforest walk in the Great Otway National Park, and koala spotting guaranteed at Kennett River along with colourful parrots.

Travel in a spacious minibus with a maximum of 12 people for a more intimate experience, with an informative and friendly guide, good chat, great music and a multilingual interactive audio guide, plus a complimentary exclusive Melbourne City self-guided audio guide.
