About this tour
A two-day private tour from Melbourne that puts you in control of the pace and stops along Victoria's Great Ocean Road. Your local driver knows the region intimately and will guide you to wildlife hotspots—kangaroos, koalas, native birds—before reaching the Twelve Apostles rock formations.

What to expect
You'll depart Melbourne in a small air-conditioned minivan with a personable local driver who'll brief you on options and detours as the day unfolds. The emphasis is relaxed and collaborative—your group decides whether to linger at beaches, skip stops, or hunt for wildlife. Expect coastal scenery, a mix of accessible viewpoints and walking sections to spot native fauna, and arrival at the Twelve Apostles as a highlight. An overnight option lets you absorb the region without rushing back to the city the same day. All parking is covered; bring cash for meals, drinks and any paid activities you fancy.
