Experience one of the most spectacular natural landscapes on the planet! Join us for a day on the Great Ocean Road with this small group tour.
Your day starts bright and early so you can get to the attractions before the crowds! Pickup is at 6:55am from State Theatre on St Kilda Road.
The greatest thing about this tour is it goes in reverse to the typical Great Ocean Road Tours. On this tour, the guide will drive inland in the morning, arrive at the attractions before all the crowds arrive and comes back through the world-famous coastline, the Great Ocean Rd.
The first stop will be at Colac where you can get in a good stretch and enjoy a coffee (at own expense). From there you go straight to the first attraction at the 12 Apostles. On this tour, you are guaranteed to visit at least four awe-inspiring attractions, London Bridge, Loch Ard Gorge, The Razorback and of course, the 12 Apostles.
Lunch stop (at own expense) will be at the lovely town of Port Campbell, if you fancy it, you can go for a little walk to the enclosed beach for some amazing pictures!
When you depart the 12 Apostles area you will get to drive through Great Otway National Park Rainforest to witness some of Australia's most amazing rainforest scenery.
On your way back you will travel along the Great Ocean Road coastline. Through Apollo Bay, your guide will share some interesting stories and facts about the city while on your way to Kenneth River. In Kenneth River, you will hopefully encounter some cute koalas and colourful parrots, make sure you have your camera handy! Along the way, you will also get to see some friendly kangaroos.
The final stop will be at the quaint coastal town of Lorne for another epic beachfront view. You can chat with cockatoos and treat yourself to a yummy ice cream (at own expense) before heading back to Melbourne.
During the whole tour, your friendly guide will give interesting insights into the places you visit, share the local history, and some fun facts!
This tour focuses on creating remarkable memories, come and join in and see what all the fuss is about!

We had a brilliant full day tour with Marty looking after us. Thus small group tour shows lots of Victoria rural areas before seeing the wow scenery of apostles and great ocean rd Great informative day.
Great trip with Chris, truly an outstanding guide - knowledgeable, welcoming, and friendly. Learned so much about the Great Ocean Road. Reverse itinerary is the way to go - no crowds.
Great itinerary- reverse way to avoid crowds. 12 people small group, don’t waste time to wait for people. Van is new with aircon, very comfortable. The driver + guide is with great knowledge and skills. Highly recommend Hit the Road tour.
It’s great to do it the reverse way to avoid unbelievable crowd (8 million a year). Our driver John is friendly, talkative, knowledgeable and with great driving skills (you need that to navigate the narrow windy roads). Views are spectacular. Highly recommend Hit the Road tour. Highly recommend Bookme. It offered the best discount and no any issue to redeem it.

Beautiful views and wildlife!
Perfect tour with a perfect timing to get the best sunlight with little people at Apostoles, enjoy the views and take pictures and then keep the rest of the day to stunning surf beaches and wildlife spotting. Marty was the best guide, so informativeand funny! He was so devoted to find koalas and drive for kangaroos and we've seen so much! Really haven't experienced to see koalas relatively close in the wildlife! Ice cream and chocolate were the best stops! Can only recommend this tour for small groups!
