About this tour
A customisable two-day private tour of Victoria's Great Ocean Road, departing Melbourne. You'll travel by air-conditioned minivan with a local guide who knows the region intimately, stopping at wildlife spots (kangaroos, koalas, native birds) and the Twelve Apostles rock formations. The itinerary flexes to your pace — whether you want leisurely stops, a fast-paced route, or beach time — and parking fees are covered. Lunch and drinks are your own expense.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from a designated Melbourne meeting point in an air-conditioned minivan. Your guide will brief you on route options and attractions en route; you decide the day's rhythm and which stops matter most. Expect stops at wildlife viewing areas, beaches, scenic lookouts, and the Twelve Apostles formation. The pacing is genuinely yours — slow down for a single location or cover more ground. On the overnight option, you'll likely travel further or have more downtime at key spots. Drop-off returns you to Melbourne in the evening (overnight option day two).
