Good to know
This works well for couples, families and small groups who want to explore the Great Ocean Road without being tied to a group timetable. It's not recommended for pregnant travellers. The tour suits all fitness levels, though you'll be walking to viewpoints and around towns at your own pace — sturdy shoes are sensible. Infants can travel in prams or specialised seats. Note that breakfast isn't included, so eat beforehand or arrange something in Lorne or Apollo Bay. The 12–13 hours includes all driving time, so account for this when planning your day. Peak times (school holidays, weekends) may mean busier car parks and lookouts.
