About this tour
Explore the Great Ocean Road's coastal landmarks at your own rhythm with a private driver and luxury Mercedes. This 8–12 hour customisable tour departs from your accommodation and covers the region's headline stops—you decide where to linger and what to skip. Avoid the coach-tour crush and set your own pace, whether that means an early start to beat crowds or a leisurely afternoon finish by 4 pm. An optional helicopter flight over the Twelve Apostles can be arranged for an additional fee.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel in a comfortable Mercedes and driven to whichever Great Ocean Road highlights interest you most. The route is entirely yours to shape—some groups sprint between major viewpoints while others spend hours at a single location. Expect dramatic coastal scenery, limestone cliffs, and accessible lookout points. You'll stop for lunch around midday at a spot of your choosing where food is available to buy. The driver knows the region well and can suggest routes and timing, but the itinerary remains flexible. If you opt for the helicopter add-on, that typically departs from a nearby airfield mid-tour.
Good to know
Book child seats or prams when confirming. Starting early (before 9 am) genuinely helps you avoid crowds and maximise stops. The tour can wrap by 4 pm if you prefer an afternoon finish. Moderate fitness is needed for walking to viewpoints. Lunch isn't included—budget accordingly at the stop. Public transport alternatives exist nearby if needed.
