Great Ocean Road Experience Day Tour - Departs Melbourne

Join us on a relaxed and social small group tour as we leave the busy Melbourne streets and explore the Great Ocean Road‘s rainforests, beaches and breathtaking views!

Tour Description

We head out of Melbourne early, passing through Torquay before stopping for morning tea at a nearby location. We follow the twists and turns of the breathtaking Great Ocean Road enjoying spectacular coastal photo opportunities. We will stop off to see some cuddly koalas in the wild, before travelling to Apollo Bay for lunch

Next we explore the Otway National Park, taking a walk through an ancient temperate rainforest, admiring some of the world’s tallest trees. We head through rolling hills towards Port Campbell National Park and the awe-inspiring 12 Apostles. Listen to tragic tales about the shipwreck coast and view remarkable rock formations at Loch Ard Gorge. Check out the fallen London Bridge (or Gibson Steps) and the quaint fishing village of Port Campbell. After this breathtaking day, relax as we head back to Melbourne, stopping in the township of Colac for dinner (dinner at own expense)

Great ocean road

Für den Preis kann man sich nicht beschweren. Wir waren im rainforest, bei den 12 Apostels und noch einem view Point dessen Namen ich nicht mehr weiß. Wir haben sehr oft gestoppt und waren erst gegen 16:15 Uhr bei den 12 Apostels, wo es zu der Zeit überfüllt war mit Touristen. Fotos machen war schwer und genießen konnte man es auch nicht mehr. Ich habe bei einer Tour die schon um 7 Uhr morgens anfängt etwas mehr erwartet. Ich würde definitiv die Tour empfehlen wenn man kein Problem damit hat mit überfüllten Masse sich die 12 Apostels anzuschauen aber ich selbst würde die Tour nicht nochmal machen. Mittagessen war auch sehr lecker lecker..

Hello, Many thanks for your feedback. Glad to hear you enjoyed the day besides the afternoon crowds! For anyone looking to avoid the tourist crowds of the afternoon, we do offer a Reverse Great Ocean Road tour that takes you to all the same sights, but in an reverse order which means you avoid all the crowds! Great value for money as well as more sustainable and enjoyable way to experience the sights of Great Ocean Road. Kind regards, Melissa - Autopia Tours Customer Service

toll organisiert

Sehr netter, kompetenter Guide. Bus und Ausstattung gut und bequem. Jedoch von den Erlebnissen her nicht so spannend wie erwartet. Überall sind sehr viele Menschen... Der kleine Spaziergang durch den "Regenwald" ist nett, aber mit 25 Minuten auch nicht spektakulär, oder besonders beeindruckend. Der Küstenabschnitt ist toll, wenn man so was noch nie gesehen hat. Wer jedoch die europäische Atlantikküste schon mal besucht hat (z.B. Portugal), oder "Big sur" in Kaliformien, wird vermutlich nicht "vom Hocker" gehauen.

Hello Anne, Thank you for taking the time to write us this review. For anyone looking to avoid the crowds, we do offer a great alternative, Reverse Great Ocean Road, that visits all the same sites but avoids the big crowds of the afternoon rush! Great option to take better pictures etc. Regards, Autopia Tours

Rundum ein toller Tag

Die Tour war einfach spitze! Besonders unser tourguide Rob war einfach toll! Er hat mit seinem wissen geglänzt und man hat gemerkt dass er seinen Job gerne macht! Mir ist bei den ganzen Kurven etwas übel geworden weshalb ich dann von hinten nach ganz vorne im bus gewechselt habe. Die Aussicht war einfach der Hammer! Auch das Frühstück und Mittagessen super. Von Pizza über Burger und Fisch and chips. Es war nicht so optimales Wetter und ein Mittwoch weshalb zum Glück nicht so viele Leute da waren! Die Erlebnisse waren ja trotzdem die gleichen. Der Bus war etwas alt, aber okay. Definitiv eine empfehlenswerte Tour😍 *-*

Hello Julia, Thank you so much for your kind review! Sorry I can't reply in German, haha, ich kann nur ein bisschen auf Deutsch sprechen. We love Rob as well, so we're happy to hear you enjoyed the tour with him :) And when you go with the right attitude (like you) the weather doesn't matter as much! It's always an amazing experience to go there. Hope you got some great pics of the koalas and 12 apostles. Hope to see you again on one of our tours, hope you enjoy rest of your time in Melbourne, despite the cold weather! Kind regards, Melissa - Reservations

Tolle Tour

Sehr freundlicher und erfahrener Guide, der aus der Gegend der Great Ocean Road kommt und somit viele Informationen weitergegeben hat. Imposante Blicke auf die Küstenlinie, Klippen, die 12 Apostel. Sehr empfehlenswert.
