The Complete Guide to the Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road winds for 240 kilometres along Victoria’s wild southern coast, and it’s widely regarded as one of the most scenic drives on the planet. Built by returned soldiers after World War I, it links surf towns, rainforest, waterfalls and the star attraction — the Twelve Apostles, a row of golden limestone stacks rising from the Southern Ocean.

The Twelve Apostles

The Twelve Apostles are the road’s most famous sight, best seen at sunrise or sunset when the low light sets the cliffs glowing. Nearby, Loch Ard Gorge and the Gibson Steps let you get down to the beach beneath the towering rock walls.

Day Trip or Touring Route?

A full-day tour from Melbourne reaches the Twelve Apostles and back — an easy way to see the highlights, though it’s a long day. For a more relaxed experience, multi-day and one-way Melbourne-to-Adelaide touring routes let you stop at the surf town of Torquay, walk in the Otways rainforest, spot wild koalas and watch the sunset over the Apostles.

Wildlife & Scenery Along the Way

Beyond the coast, the Great Ocean Road passes through the Great Otway National Park, where you can walk beneath giant tree ferns, chase waterfalls and see wild koalas dozing in the gums. Kennett River is one of the best spots in Australia to see koalas in the wild.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do the Great Ocean Road in a day from Melbourne?
Yes — full-day tours from Melbourne reach the Twelve Apostles and return the same evening. It’s a long but rewarding day. If you’d like a more relaxed pace with more stops, a multi-day tour or a one-way route to Adelaide is a great alternative.
When is the best time to see the Twelve Apostles?
Sunrise and sunset are the most spectacular times, when the low sun lights up the limestone stacks. Tours are often timed to reach the Apostles in the late afternoon for the golden-hour glow.
Can I see koalas on the Great Ocean Road?
Yes — the forests of the Great Otway National Park, particularly around Kennett River, are one of the best places in Australia to spot wild koalas in the trees, and many tours include a stop there.
What’s the difference between a day tour and a Melbourne–Adelaide route?
A day tour is an out-and-back trip from Melbourne focused on the Twelve Apostles. A one-way Melbourne-to-Adelaide (or Adelaide-to-Melbourne) route travels the full coast over several days, adding the Grampians, surf towns and rainforest — ideal if you’re heading between the two cities.
How much do Great Ocean Road tours cost?
Day trips are the most affordable, while multi-day touring routes cost more as they include accommodation and more stops. Every tour above shows its live price in real time, backed by our best price guarantee.
