About this tour
Four-day overland journey from Melbourne to Adelaide following the dramatic Great Ocean Road coastline and inland to South Australia's limestone country. Depart each Monday morning in a small group (maximum 16) with an experienced guide, sleeping in quality ensuite accommodation and sampling regional wines. You'll navigate past shipwreck cliffs, descend into underground caverns, and hear Aboriginal perspectives on the landscape—all at a relaxed pace with meals and ground transport included.

What to expect
You'll spend mornings and early afternoons in the air-conditioned minivan, covering scenic stretches punctuated by guided walks and stops. Days 2–4 include cooked breakfasts at your accommodation; lunches happen daily from day one onwards. Expect informative talk from your driver-guide—think geology, ecology, and local stories rather than scripted patter. The caves require moderate walking; the Blue Lake viewing is accessible. Evenings are yours to explore towns or rest. Wine tasting on day four is brief but genuine, not a hard sell.
