About this tour

This eco-focused tour departs from Melbourne and winds along the Great Ocean Road, taking in towering cliffs, secluded beaches and native bushland. Your guide shares local knowledge whilst a multilingual audio app (16 languages) offers deeper context. Coffee and tea included; all transport, park fees and air-conditioned comfort sorted.

Highlights

  • Limestone cliffs and rock formations along the coast
  • Small groups capped at 24 people for genuine experience
  • Multilingual audio guide in 16 languages available
  • National park entry fees included
  • Pick-up from selected Melbourne hotels
  • Complimentary coffee and tea throughout the day
  • Bundle option: add Phillip Island and free city tour

What to expect

You'll be collected from your hotel in the morning and settled into an air-conditioned coach for the scenic drive south. The route unfolds gradually—stop at viewpoints to absorb the Southern Ocean vistas, walk short stretches of accessible trails through coastal heathland, and hear stories from your guide about the area's ecology and history. If you've chosen the multi-tour package, Phillip Island follows the next day (returning late evening for the penguin parade), with your Melbourne city tour scheduled separately. The pace suits most fitness levels; walking is optional at each stop.

Good to know

Large luggage, prams and strollers cannot travel on board—pack light day bags only. Service animals are welcome. Infant seats available if pre-arranged. Meals beyond tea and coffee are not included; pack snacks or budget for lunch stops. Late returns on Phillip Island tours (9pm–midnight depending on season).
