About this tour
Travel the full 244-kilometre stretch of Australia's Great Ocean Road on a private, guided tour lasting 11.5 hours. Your licensed driver navigates you through dramatic coastal landscapes—shipwrecks, sandstone cliffs, rainforest pockets and rock-pool bays—at your own pace, with the option to reverse the standard route and sidestep peak-season crowds. The tour covers vehicle and guide only, making larger groups better value.

What to expect
You'll spend most of the day in a private air-conditioned vehicle (7 or 11-seater depending on group size), driven by a licensed guide who shares local knowledge of the region's maritime past and Indigenous heritage. The journey meanders through coastal townships, past dramatic cliffs and into pockets of temperate rainforest. You'll have stops for short walks, rock-pool exploration or simply to absorb the views. Travel time is built into the 11.5-hour total, so expect a leisurely pace rather than a rushed itinerary. Bring your own lunch or grab it en route at the small towns.
Good to know
Pricing covers the guide and vehicle, not individual passengers—larger groups reduce per-person cost significantly. Infant car seats available on request. The route can be reversed to dodge crowds, particularly useful during school holidays and summer. Meals aren't included. Service animals welcome.
