Overview

We invite you to experience a luxury tour of the Great Ocean Road and the Twelve Apostles.

While we can customize this tour to your preferences, we highly recommend our reverse itinerary. By departing early and traveling inland first, we avoid the crowds to ensure you enjoy Victoria's rugged coastline and pristine bushland in comfort.

The journey includes visits to Lorne, Apollo Bay, and the world-renowned Bells Beach. Following lunch at a local café in Apollo Bay, we will proceed to Port Campbell National Park to explore the Twelve Apostles via walking tracks or an optional helicopter ride.

Our one-day tours are fully flexible to accommodate your interests and time constraints, including adjusted return times if required.

Departure Details:
- Location: Melbourne City Hotels or any CBD location
- Time: [Departure Time]

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
