Explore the Great Ocean Road

Find our tours that take you to the Great Ocean Road to see Loch Ard Gorge and the Twelve Apostles.

Victoria is a small state in Australia but packed full of things to see and do. From the bustling city of Melbourne to the rugged nature of the Great Ocean Road there is something for everyone in Victoria.

The Great Ocean Road is the name given to the road between Torquay and Warrnambool on Victoria’s south coast. The road hugs the coastline and coastal cliffs for most of its 243-kilometre length.

The aspect of the road creates stunning views over the ocean as the road twists and turns. many popular attractions are located on the road including the Twelve Apostles rock formations, Bells Beach surf spot, the pretty towns of Lorne, Port Fairy and Apollo Bay, and the Great Otway National Park temperate rainforest.

All tours that travel between Melbourne and Adelaide in both directions travel along the Great Ocean Road. We also have a Great Ocean Road trip that goes from Melbourne and back to Melbourne that is very popular.

We have plenty of one day Great Ocean Road tours to take you to visit the highlights in just one day from Melbourne.
