Great Ocean Road

Drive along this spectacular coast-hugging road with elevated seating above the roadside shrubs to view all its glory - from the ocean to the forest, making visits along the way to not miss highlights & a brilliant photo high above at the Cape Patton lookout
Lorne

Take a rest under gum trees enveloping this stunning bay view where the forest meets the sea, perhaps with cockatoos or Kookaburra's 'laughing'.
Apollo Bay
  • 55m
Delicious lunch options in this seaside town - we'll point out the treasures! You can grab take-aways for a beach picnic, maybe a swim too if you brought your bathers... or just kick off the shoes for a stroll along Australia's recently voted top 3 beaches :)
Mait's Rest
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Step inside an ancient rainforest for a moment to feel like you're in another world, yet it's only minutes inside the Great Otway's National Park as the famous road now veers into the countryside for a change of scenery. Keep your eye's up to maybe spot cute Koala at the car park as a bonus.
Great Otway National Park

Loch Ard Gorge
  • 50m
  • Admission ticket included
A true jewel in this National Park's crown, wander to majestic lookouts of your choice including the Island Archway & the Razorback - a beast of a view when raging seas swell. Maybe spot echidna scurrying near the paths for ants, or wallabies peeking their heads up in the bush.
Twelve Apostles
  • 50m
  • Admission ticket included
Be mesmerised by the alluring '12 Apostles' rock formations - the drawcard of this National Park wonderland. If a helicopter ride here is of interest to you let us know to pre-arrange a booking for you.
