Day 1: The Dramatic Great Ocean Road & Coastal Luxury

Your journey begins with a personalised pickup from your Melbourne hotel. Travel through vast volcanic plains to the beautifully transformed Geelong waterfront before tracing the start of the iconic Great Ocean Road at Torquay. Stop at legendary Bells Beach, enjoy a scenic morning tea, and indulge your senses at a local boutique chocolate factory.

As we wind along the cliff-hugging roads, keep your eyes peeled for Eastern Grey Kangaroos 🦘 grazing in their native habitat. After a delightful lunch break in the vibrant seaside resort of Lorne, we continue past the historic Memorial Arch to Kennett River, a haven for wild koalas and colourful native birds. Explore the picturesque harbour of Apollo Bay before checking into your private, self-contained villa at Chris’s Beacon Point. Unwind with spectacular ocean views before enjoying an award-winning modern Greek-Australian dinner overlooking the sea.

Day 2: Rainforest Wonders, Iconic Apostles & World-Class Dining

Wake up to a delicious continental breakfast before venturing into the cool, temperate rainforest of the Great Otway National Park. Walk beneath the world’s tallest flowering plants and prehistoric ferns. Next, marvel at the rugged Shipwreck Coast from Castle Cove, learning about the region’s rich Aboriginal heritage and ancient dinosaur fossil discoveries.

Arrive at the world-famous 12 Apostles 🌊 in the morning light—perfect for crowd-free photos. Explore the boardwalks or choose an optional helicopter flight (own expense). Discover the tragic history of Loch Ard Gorge, where you can view and hold genuine shipwreck artifacts from our unique treasure chests. After lunch in the charming fishing village of Port Campbell, explore the lesser-known limestone formations of London Bridge and the Bay of Islands. Spot native wildlife at the extinct volcanic crater of Tower Hill, then head to Dunkeld to check into the renowned Royal Mail Hotel. Here, you will indulge in a legendary five-course degustation dinner at Wickens 🍽️, a dining experience celebrated Australia-wide.

Begin your day with breakfast before taking an incredibly scenic drive north through Gariwerd (the Grampians National Park). Watch the morning sun light up the dramatic sandstone cliffs of the Serra and Mount William Ranges. Learn about the region’s deep cultural history at the Brambuk Aboriginal Cultural Centre in Halls Gap.

Spend the day exploring spectacular lookouts and natural wonders, including short walks to Boroka Lookout, Reid’s Lookout, and the majestic MacKenzie Falls 🥾.
