Private Tour - 12 Apostles, Otways & Great Ocean Road (8 Person Bus)
Duration:
Operated By:
TAKE IN THE FAMOUS 12 APOSTLES, DRIVE THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD & IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE GREAT OTWAY NATIONAL PARK ON A PRIVATE DAY TOUR.
Your private tour departs Melbourne bright and early with our sights set on beating the crowds at the Great Ocean Roads, famous 12 Apostles. Here we enjoy a 1km stroll along the boardwalk while appreciating the limestone stacks and stunning views.
Our next spectacular scene, Gibson Steps, offers a unique 70m cliffside pathway down to the beach. Enjoy the privacy of this beautiful beach and take all the time you need to get the perfect shot.
Next up, it’s time for a delicious lunch at our favourite local cafe before heading to the Great Otway National Park. Enjoy a short but magical hike through ancient rainforests of thick ferns and large myrtle beech to see one of the Otways’ pristine waterfalls (where the bigger bus companies don’t visit).
We visit the giants of the forest at the Californian Redwoods before continuing our drive along the iconic Great Ocean Road to the tranquil village of Apollo Bay and Kennett River; home to native koalas, king parrots and kangaroos. Lorne is our final pit stop where you can enjoy a little free time; choose a stroll along the beach or pick up some snacks for the road before we journey back to Melbourne.
Have another point of interest in mind? Our private tours are entirely adjustable to suit you and your group’s needs. Get in touch to discuss your perfect Great Ocean Road adventure.

Laurinda an Pat were really friendly! Small group tour is a must!
The whole experience was about 13 hours. I got my tickets from Red Balloon, but hide and seek sell their own too.
Amazing views, stops, and experiences. I would recommend anyone that has a spare day in Melbourne to book in with these guys. They provided one of the best memories over my holiday.
Our guide was Marcos who engaged with all the passengers and made sure we saw everything. He was a very kind, safe driver, and knowledgeable learned guide.
It was a car tour in small group (Great Ocean Road) and I was really impressed by the rout and care of our guide
Thanks guys see you!
The tour tries to avoid the big crowds of tourists, which I thought was great.
I heartily recommend this tour - a great experience
It is amazing that our mental and physical strength has dropped rapidly from the Pinnacle stone path to the waterfall! Everyone fell asleep on the return trip, but the driver still didn't even yawn!
Also, I met a group of new friends to visit those amazing sceneries!
Besides the CBD, there are many natural landscapes in Melbourne, which are worth visiting!
But have to be attention to the weather forecast before signing up, those sceneries are even more beautiful!
Highly recommend to people who like the natural environment!
Incredible experience!!
