An Unforgettable Private Coastal Escape

Embark on the ultimate journey along one of the world’s most scenic coastal drives. Our private 2-day Great Ocean Road tour offers an exclusive, personalised itinerary designed to showcase Australia’s breathtaking natural beauty, incredible wildlife, and premium local dining, far away from the crowds.

Day 1: Coastal Wonders, Wildlife & Gourmet Dining

Departing Melbourne via the West Gate Bridge, we travel through vast volcanic plains to Geelong’s beautifully transformed waterfront. Our journey along the Great Ocean Road begins at Torquay, stopping at iconic Bells Beach and a scenic morning tea location. 🐨 We then head into the wild to observe Eastern Grey Kangaroos and spot wild koalas and colourful native birds at Kennett River.

After a relaxing lunch break in the vibrant seaside resort of Lorne, we journey into the Great Otway National Park. 🌳 Enjoy a guided walk through a cool temperate rainforest gully, marvelling at prehistoric ferns and the world’s tallest flowering plants.

We finish the day at the spectacular Beacon Point Ocean View Villas, where your private self-contained villa offers stunning Southern Ocean views. 🍽️ Tonight, indulge in a spectacular two-course dinner at the famous, award-winning Chris’s at Beacon Point, showcasing modern Greek-Australian cuisine and local produce.

Day 2: Crowd-Free Icons & Shipwreck History

Start your morning with a delicious cooked breakfast at the locals’ favourite, Bay Leaf Cafe. We then travel through the Otway Ranges to the Shipwreck Coast, stopping at Castle Cove to uncover the region’s rich Aboriginal heritage and prehistoric dinosaur history.

🌅 Arrive at the majestic 12 Apostles in the morning sun—the perfect time for crowd-free photos before the afternoon tour buses arrive. Explore the boardwalks or choose an optional helicopter flight (own expense). Next, we visit Loch Ard Gorge, where we bring the tragic story of this famous 19th-century shipwreck to life with original artefacts and photos from our treasure chests.

After lunch in the charming fishing village of Port Campbell, we explore the lesser-known but highly impressive western section of the road, including London Bridge, the Bay of Islands, the Bay of Martyrs, and Boat Bay, before returning to Melbourne by 5:30 pm.
