Best day trip from Melbourne

Wild koalas in the trees, dramatic cliffs and the famous Apostles. The guide was funny and full of local knowledge. Highly recommend.

Twelve Apostles are stunning

The coastline is jaw-dropping — the Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and rainforest walks. Spotted wild koalas too. Our guide made the long drive fly by.

Epic coastal drive

So much to see in a day. The Twelve Apostles at golden hour were unreal. A lot of driving but the stops and guide made it well worth it.

Beautiful but long day

It is a big day out but the scenery is worth every minute. Sunset over the Twelve Apostles was magic. Bring snacks and a camera.

Postcard views all day

Every stop looked like a screensaver. Loch Ard Gorge and the Apostles were highlights. Great small group and a top guide.

About Explore Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles - Day Tour

Operated by Explore Australia · 12 Hours, 30 Minutes · Melbourne, VIC

Set off early and beat the rush as you trace one of Australia’s most famous drives along the Great Ocean Road. From the first sweep of clifftop curves to the deep blue surf rolling below, this day trip serves up big coastal views, fresh sea air, and plenty of moments where you’ll want to keep your camera handy.

You’ll wander past rugged headlands, charming seaside towns, and stretches of coastline that seem made for slow travel. The real showstopper is the Twelve Apostles, where towering limestone stacks rise out of the Southern Ocean and the spray hangs in the air. Along the way, keep an eye out for local wildlife and soak up the changing scenery as the road winds between bush, beach, and bluff. If you’re keen to see the Great Ocean Road at its best, this is a brilliant way to do it.

Know before you go: - Please arrive at the meeting point a little early so you’re ready for the scheduled departure. - Bring a warm layer or jacket, as coastal weather can change quickly and it can get breezy at the lookouts. - Comfortable walking shoes are a smart choice for lookout stops and short walks. - Don’t forget your camera or phone, plus sunscreen and a hat for daytime exposure. - Meals are not included, so you may want to bring snacks or money for food and drinks along the way. - If you’re hoping to spot wildlife, keep your eyes open during the drive and at rest stops rather than only at the major landmarks.
