Discover the Great Ocean Road on a reverse-route adventure from Melbourne! Enjoy convenient pickup from your Melbourne CBD hotel and travel in a comfortable Toyota HiAce Commuter with a boutique small group of up to 11 guests. Our reverse-route itinerary offers a different way to explore Victoria’s spectacular coastline, helping you avoid the crowds and beat the rush for a more relaxed sightseeing experience.

Start your day with a short break in Colac, where you can stretch your legs, grab a coffee from a local café and recharge before heading towards the coast.

Get ready for the spectacular Twelve Apostles, where towering limestone stacks rise dramatically from the Southern Ocean. Shaped by millions of years of wind and wave erosion, these iconic formations are among Australia's most famous natural landmarks. Take your time at the lookouts, admire the rugged cliffs and crashing waves, and capture some memorable photos. If access and conditions allow, continue to Gibson Steps for a closer look at the dramatic coastline and a different perspective of these remarkable rock formations.

Next, make your way to Loch Ard Gorge, a stunning coastal landscape surrounded by towering cliffs, turquoise waters and fascinating rock formations. Beyond its natural beauty, the gorge is also known for the tragic 1878 shipwreck of the Loch Ard. Enjoy time to explore the lookouts, take photos and appreciate the history behind this remarkable stretch of coastline.

Leaving the coast behind, continue through the Otway region, where the scenery transforms into lush rainforest and towering trees. Enjoy a walk surrounded by greenery and keep an eye out for wild koalas resting in eucalyptus trees along the way. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, but the journey offers a wonderful opportunity to experience another side of Victoria's natural beauty. The duration of this stop may vary depending on the day's schedule and local conditions.

After exploring the rainforest, head to Apollo Bay, a relaxed seaside town nestled between the green hills and the ocean. Take some free time to purchase lunch at your own expense, browse the local shops or simply enjoy the laid-back coastal atmosphere. As lunch is scheduled relatively late in the day, bringing some snacks is recommended.

As you make your way back towards Melbourne, stop at the Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch for photos and discover the story behind this iconic coastal drive. Built by returned servicemen after the First World War, the road stands as a lasting memorial to those who served. Continue along the coast and admire Split Point Lighthouse, a distinctive white landmark overlooking the ocean near Aireys Inlet.

After a full day of dramatic coastal scenery, rainforest walks and fascinating local history, sit back and relax as you travel back to Melbourne. Arrival is expected at around 20:00, although the actual return time may vary depending on traffic, weather, road conditions and operational requirements.
