The Great Ocean Road Bus Day Tour

Is a full day tour from Melbourne taking in all of the highlights of this glorious coastal drive. Visit famous Bells Beach, spot koalas in the wild, enjoy a guided tour of the Otways rainforest and marvel at the amazing rock formations of the Port Campbell National Park, including of course the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and London Bridge. And of course, you'll see all pristine beaches and rugged rocky outcrops of the Great Ocean Road.

You are invited to come and share a special day along the world’s most scenic coastal route.

Experience the amazing coastline diversity in Victoria, by taking in roaring surf, white sand beaches, rocky outcrops and towering cliffs. We make stops at numerous beaches, lookouts and other scenic spots to allow you an opportunity to take plenty of happy snaps, as well as to simply relax while enjoying the amazing views.

We also visit an area where the local koalas are particularly abundant, ensuring excellent koala viewing while enjoying a stroll amongst the sweetly-scented eucalyptus forest.

We’ll also meet some of our favourite feathered friends, with an opportunity to hand-feed some of the colourful local parrots that live in the Great Otway National Park.

Our lunch stop is at the foot of the Otway Ranges in the beautiful town of Apollo Bay, Australia. Apollo Bay has numerous eateries providing a wide array of choices across a range of budgets for your holiday. Here we have time to explore the shops and the marina or to have a dip in the bay itself.

After lunch we follow the Great Ocean Road into the mountains where we take a stroll in the Great Otway National Park. Wonder at the intricate beauty of ancient rainforest and marvel at the region’s towering native hardwoods, some of the tallest trees anywhere in the world.

Then of course it’s onwards to the Port Campbell National Park, where you’ll be awestruck by the park’s world famous rock formations including of course the 12 Apostles, the sensational (but much underestimated) Loch Ard Gorge, and the collapsed London Bridge.

We depart Melbourne early to beat the crowds and return around 9.30pm. Our smaller air-conditioned buses allow us to access areas the larger coaches can’t, as well as providing a personal touch with the benefits of a small group environment.

So come along and let our experienced guides give you a value-packed day of outstanding sights, information and entertainment, with plenty of fun and a few little surprises along the way.
