About this tour
An 11.5-hour private tour of the Great Ocean Road in a luxury air-conditioned vehicle, where you set the pace and choose which stops matter most. You'll visit the Twelve Apostles, Mutton Bird Island, Great Otway National Park and other coastal landmarks along Victoria's Shipwreck Coast. The itinerary is yours to shape — spend longer at spots that appeal to you, skip others, and travel with family or friends in a dedicated vehicle rather than in a group coach.

What to expect
You'll be picked up and collected in a private luxury vehicle for the day. Your driver will discuss your preferences at the start — which landmarks you want to prioritise, how long you'd like to spend at each, and whether you want to skip certain stops. The route covers the Great Ocean Road's key sights: the Twelve Apostles rock formations, Mutton Bird Island, and Great Otway National Park, along with other coastal viewpoints. You stop as you choose, spend time exploring, and your driver shares background on the region's maritime history and geology.
The pace is entirely yours — if you want to linger at a lookout or hike a particular trail, there's no fixed timetable pushing you along. Bottled water is provided. You'll return to your starting point at the end of the 11.5 hours. Lunch and breakfast are not included, so plan where you'd like to eat.

Good to know
This suits families, small groups, and anyone who finds set-itinerary coach tours inflexible. If you have young children, prams and infant seats are available. Physically, there's no requirement beyond what you choose — you can do as much or as little walking as you like at each stop. Key caveats: lunch and breakfast are your responsibility, so budget for meals en route. The Great Ocean Road is scenic but winding; if you're prone to motion sickness, plan accordingly. Weather can be changeable on the coast. The tour is 11.5 hours, so it's a full day; book based on your energy and schedule. Infant seats and prams are available but confirm your needs when booking. Group size is flexible, so confirm numbers in advance.
