Melbourne Great Ocean Road Small Groups Tour

HIGHLIGHTS:
Are you the kind of person that enjoys losing your breath sometimes? Are you ready for the beauty of this storm-carved coastline?
If you said yes, you're ready to join us on this excellent Great Ocean Road Small Groups Tour!
One of the best aspects of this tour is that by reversing the usual route, we get to experience the 12 Apostles in the tranquil morning hours, steering clear of the afternoon rush. Additionally, the sunlight casts a magnificent glow on the limestone formations at this time of day.
Things you will see and do:
• Travel inland in the morning straight to the Twelve Apostles
• At least 4 attractions at the Shipwreck Coast: 12 Apostles Coast, Gibson Steps, Loch Ard Gorge, and The Razorback
• Coastal towns: Apollo Bay, Lorne, and lots of other stops for pictures
- Spot koalas in the wild
• Reverse itinerary to avoid the crowds: we mean it! We get there earlier
• More attractions, more stops, more fun!
