Activity itinerary

Twelve Apostles

  • 1h
The highlight of the tour! On the reverse route, you arrive at the 12 Apostles early in the morning — before the crowds — and experience the iconic limestone stacks bathed in soft golden light. Your guide will share the fascinating geology and history of these ancient formations as you walk the clifftop boardwalk. Marvel at the dramatic Southern Ocean crashing against the base of the stacks, and take stunning photos with minimal crowds. There are currently 8 remaining stacks, each up to 45 metres tall, rising from the sea in one of Australia's most photographed landscapes.

Loch Ard Gorge

  • 45m
Named after the iron clipper that wrecked here in 1878, this stunning gorge features towering sandstone cliffs framing a sheltered beach. Your guide will share the dramatic storey of the two survivors. Walk down to the gorge floor, explore the sea cave, and photograph the iconic arch and blowholes. One of the most picturesque spots on the entire Great Ocean Road.

Gibsons Steps

  • 30m
Descend a carved staircase cut into the cliff face to reach the beach at the base of the towering limestone stacks. Standing at sea level, you can truly appreciate the enormous scale of the 12 Apostles. This is a breathtaking perspective that you simply cannot get from the clifftop. Feel the power of the Southern Ocean waves and walk along the pristine sand between the ancient rock formations.

Great Ocean Road

  • 8h
Stretching 243km along Victoria's coastline, the Great Ocean Road is one of the world's most spectacular coastal drives. Built by returned soldiers after WWI as a memorial, it winds through rainforest, past dramatic cliffs and pristine surf beaches. Stop at the iconic memorial arch at Lorne, watch for wild koalas at Kennett River, enjoy the charming village of Apollo Bay, and take in breathtaking panoramas at every turn. The reverse route means you enjoy the iconic coastal scenery heading east in the afternoon light.
