Great Ocean Road Small Group Tour - Adults (age 15-99)
The action starts in the beautiful coastal town of Anglesea, which is also the beginning of The Great Ocean Road, just over an hour’s drive south west of Melbourne.
Here we stop for morning tea by the beach. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and cake all included.
Now it’s time to travel one of the most scenic and famous roads in the world. You will stop at the memorial arch as well as many other scenic photo opportunities along the way.
Visit Lorne and stop at Teddys lookout for stunning views of the coast line (one of those stops that only a small bus can access).
Your guide is also an expert at spotting local wildlife and along the way will find wild Koalas and always be on the lookout for wild Kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and some of our colourful parrots and birds.
You will stop in Apollo Bay for lunch where you get time to explore one of the Australia’s most beautiful coastal towns.
Lunch is up to you, dine in or take away from one of many fine cafes, restaurants, fish and chip shops or famous Apollo Bay bakery with its award winning scallop pies.
Or if you prefer, bring your own lunch for a picnic on the beach.
In the summer months you can even bring bathers and a towel for a dip in the Southern ocean.
Next your guide will take you for a Rainforest walk amongst some of the oldest and tallest ecosystems on earth – the Great Otway National Park cool climate rainforest.
Finally we reach the spectacular Port Campbell National Park, home of the the world famous and breathtaking 12 Apostles.

Kevin was energetic, knowledgeable, organized and fun. A beautiful day.
Some stunning views. We greatly enjoyed it.
There may be several options you have for this tour, however this is the one you want to be on. Smaller group means a much more intimate experience. You really get a lot for your money on this one and our guide/tour owner couldn’t have been better. The finale at a local pub was surprisingly good food. Highly recommend this one to see these sights.
This was a wonderful day! I was worried about how long it was, but Travis broke the day up with thoughtfully paced breaks. He was informative and funny. The scenery was breathtaking!
I highly recommend this!!!
Lizzie was a super tour guide. She told exciting stories and kept us entertained throughout the long trip. Great job Lizzie.
We enjoyed our small group tour with Travis. He was an entertaining and informative tour guide. We highly recommend this tour option for the Great Ocean Road.
Travis was the best tour guide, very animated, very informative. He made us coffee, served cake, had water for us. It was a 13-hour tour and he never lost his enthusiasm. By the end of the day, we all felt like family who had shared a magical day.
This was a wonderful day full of gorgeous scenery, koalas in trees, coffee and cookies on a bluff overlooking the ocean, and a walk through a forest of giant tree ferns. All made more special by our guide Lizzie who was knowledgeable about the area, a great story teller and a joy to spend the day with. The trip was very well organised, well paced and the van comfortable. Lizzie's playlist was upbeat and fun and coordinated to the various parts of our journey. A great little detail we all enjoyed. Pick up and drop off was easy. Our group of 11 was the perfect size for a really special outing. Thanks Lizzie. You're the best!
Very nice drive, great views and nice walks at all the stops. We enjoyed our guide/driver Travis’ comments along the way. Definitely recommend this tour.
Lis is a phenomenal human being Tremendous Passion for her work. Kind considerate Very safe driver Highlight of our stay was Liz and this tour. Took many great photos. Of 12 apostles. Nice touch going thru small towns great Dooleys ice cream Magnificent ocean views Lizzie is the best tour guide ever Fantastic Adventure
Very well organized tour guide and had a great sense of humour. Very well informed tour. Great idea to pre select the food before dining
Travis is a very energetic and happy tour operator, made our trip really enjoyable. I loved the small group, though if you have long legs might feel a bit tight for you. Dinner was yummy! It was a great experience overall and I highly recommend it.
Weather wise we may well have had the best day in November with 28 degrees and it was a great day out, obviously a bit of travel involved but I think we saw the best of what was on offer with a very well informed and helpful guide.
Let's start with Travis. We couldn't have asked for a better guide/driver. From the start of the day he made sure he had everyone's name noted and made everyone feel welcome. The trip lasted about 13 hours but the stops were nicely spaced out. Travis was ready with helpful tips at each stop and shared his knowledge along the way. The sights speak for themselves, and shouldn't be missed. Breathtaking. Would travel with Travis anytime.
Great experience, wonderful tour guide Travis. Everything well planned, the places we visit were beautiful, the food was very good, no complaints at all, highly recommended
The tour would be the same without our amazing guide: Lizzie (hope the spelling is correct!) She explained a lot of facts about the places we were passing by, telling us stories, curiosities...everything to make the day a very special day. She also set the proper song for each right moment! Really suggested, but ask to have Lizzie as your guide!
Absolutely fabulous day. Travis was very friendly and gave us alot of interesting information. I can thoroughly recommended this small group tour.
We had a wonderful day from start to finish!!! From the beaches, rainforest, the Twelve Apostles, story telling, and the drive inland and stopping a a good pub for dinner the day was great!
Travis was great. Small tour groups are much more enjoyable. Not only do you get closer to the sites; you get to know your fellow travelers. It is a long day, but well worth it.
Travis made the tour with his great variety of events from perfect photo ops to short walks that brought the landscape alive to wonderful stories about the history and people of the Great Ocean Road. He is so warm, friendly, cheerful and has a great sense of humor. Loved his enthusiasm/passion for Melbourne and Australia.
My wife and I would like to thank Travis for such a wonderful tour of the Great Ocean Road. He planned itinerary, historical background and dinner at the end made for a wonderful day. We highly recommend Travis and his company.
This small tour is a gem, Travis is a great guide, good knowledge and funny, you won't feel boring during the long journey.
I recommend everyone who looking day tour to Great Ocean Road to join this tour, save the driving/planning and just enjoy!
Travis to start is highly knowledgeable which is essentially useful for a trip. it is a small group tour only so max you will get 11 pax (so not too much time wasted waiting for others). Started with a nice breakfast by the beach and end with a super delicious dinner. Pace of tour was fairly okay considering the places we visited.
Travis was an excellent guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a long day but an excellent experience and worth every minute
Great small group tour and our guide was excellent and with loads of knowledge and interesting facts. He made everyone feel at ease and welcome. Highly recommend this tour. Beautiful scenery and good stops along the way.
