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.

Highlights

  • Travel straight to the 12 Apostles
  • Reverse itinerary: avoid the large crowds coming from the other direction!
  • No rushing - spend a decent amount of time enjoying the attractions!
  • Plenty of stops for amazing pictures
  • Informative and friendly guide, good chat, great music and good vibes!
  • Stop to see Koalas and Kangaroos on the wild

Skip the rush and experience the Great Ocean Road like never before! Our reverse itinerary takes you inland first, so you’ll arrive at the iconic 12 Apostles, Gibson Steps, and Loch Ard Gorge before the big tour buses. That means more time, fewer crowds, and unforgettable views.

Travel in comfort with a small group of no more than 11 guests, making the journey personal and relaxed. Along the way, you’ll enjoy stops for stunning photos, a rainforest walk in the Great Otways, guaranteed koala sightings, and plenty of hidden gems most tours miss.

Expect good music, great vibes, and an engaging guide who makes the road come alive with stories, history, and fun facts.

Absolute Empfehlung!!

Die reversed Tour ist eine absolute Empfehlung und ein Must-See bei einem Melbourne-Besuch. Abseits der Touristenmassen eröffnet sich immer wieder an den einzelnen Spots ein spektakulärer Blick auf die Great Ocean Road mit den 12 Aposteln. Sehr gut geführte Tagestour.

Zu voll und zu stressig

Ich hab die Tour aufgrund von Zeitmangel gebucht. Wenn man die Great Ocean Road unbedingt sehen will, ist es schon eine ganz gute Möglichkeit. Mir persönlich war es viel zu voll, man wurde an den Hotspot für 30 min und ein paar Fotos rausgelassen, das war mir persönlich nicht genug. Ich fand die Great Ocean Road auch deutlich weniger schön als andere Küstenstraßen. Ich würde mir beim nächsten mal ein Auto nehmen.
