The Great Ocean Road is widely known as one of the world’s most spectacular coastline drives and a bucket list destination any time of the year. Stretching over 240 kilometres the road hugs majestic coastal cliffs, pristine white sand beaches and breath taking rain forests.
The road starts at Torquay with the Memorial Arch, the gateway to the Great Ocean Road. From here the road hugs the coast all the way to Apollo Bay, making stops at Kennett River to view koala’s in their natural habitat and to visit the bustling town of Lorne.
The road then heads inland through lush green semi temperate rain forest and refreshing waterfalls. Leaving the green behind we emerge into the limestone cliffs of the Shipwreck Coast. Get a close up view of these truly amazing rock formations by taking the 80 steps down to the beach at the Gibson Steps before arriving at the iconic 12 Apostles.
Take to the skies in a helicopter flight to get a bird’s eye view of these huge monoliths and breathtaking coastline. It’s a magical experience that will stick in the memory for a lifetime.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company for a short getaway! We hope to be back in the future!

If we had it to do over, we would have Paul also take us to Grampions and Great Ocean Road - he makes everything more informative and easier.

I was booked with them through another travel agency as part of a larger Australian adventure for five days and four nights private tour, including the Great Ocean Rd., Grampians and surrounding Melbourne areas.
Paul, the owner picked me up at the appointed time at my lodging in Melbourne. His vehicle is pristine, new and quite comfortable. He loaded my bags efficiently, put me immediately at ease, inquiring if I needed anything for my comfort and off we went on our great adventure!
I found Paul to be a safe and calm driver, extremely knowledgeable of Melbourne and the surrounding area, as well as the local flora and fauna. He knew where to look for wildlife at every bend in the road. His itineraries are varied and detailed to the individual, their interests and abilities. He’s also a great conversationalist about many topics of interest to Australia.
He always had a Plan B when we ran into any situation, such as road delays, fire closures, any glitch that inevitably occur on trips of this length. Our itinerary covered five full days and a lot of territory. We were busy!
Our lodgings and food experiences along the way were clean, comfortable and enjoyable. Creature comforts are very important.
Paul exhibited his depth of knowledge and desire to show me all he could in the time we had, he always showed great care for my well being and respect for my wishes.
I recommend this company for your travel needs whilst in Melbourne!

We throughly enjoyed our trip and will do it again when we can.







One highlight for us how much we enjoyed our trek to the Pinnacle to enjoy the magnificent view from there. Paul added it in because the an Indigenous site that we would have visited had been closed and had not yet re-opened in time for us. He felt we were up for it and we were. This is how the Pinnacle is described:
“The Pinnacle
The shortest route to The Pinnacle
Time: 1.5 - 2 hours
Grade: Medium
Distance: 4.2 km return
Elevation Change: 110 metres
Start: Sundial Carpark
The track to this famous peak involves rock steps, slippery track surfaces, several water crossings and some rock hopping. Remember to wear sturdy shoes with a good tread and carry at least two litres of water per person.”
If you feel up to it, reaching the Pinnacle is worth the effort especially for the view at the top. It is a nice option to keep In mind. We did it and we are 67 and 70 years old.
We were so impressed with Paul. During the three-day period, and during meals or in transit in the van, he had several great stories to tell about his employment background and the varied outdoor activities he had done. It made for interesting conversation especially while travelling in the back country as we headed west and then south to join the Great Ocean Road.
Another notable aspect for us was the selection of music that Paul has onboard his most comfortable van. He turned on his playlist and, in addition to enjoying the songs, we would guess the song and the artist as we are trivia buffs. If you take a tour with Paul be sure to ask to hear his music while on the longer stretches of travel.
The tour was everything we hoped it would be (and more) and certainly worth the cost we paid. Paul conducted the tour flawlessly and was always attentive to our needs and flexible as required. We feel that met Paul as a driver and tour guide and we said goodbye to him after three days as a friend.
My wife and I highly recommend Melbourne Elite Tours for anyone interested in exploring the Melbourne area in a most relaxed and enjoyable way. You won’t be disappointed.






Returning to St Kild near midnight it was the best day.
Thank you Paul
