REVIEW TOUR
Great Ocean Road is a world-famous scenic route, connecting several coastal caravan towns with its picturesque road. It was built by World War II veterans as a temporary project to provide employment for returning soldiers. Initially, it was just a means to create jobs, but people soon recognized the breathtaking beauty of this coastal route, and thus, Great Ocean Road was born!
Australia has more to offer than just the Sydney Opera House!
Great Ocean Road is a marvel not only famous in Australia but also a global tourist destination. The winding road stretches for hundreds of kilometers, offering breathtaking views with towering cliffs on one side and the Southern Ocean's foaming waves on the other. The highlight of this "great" route is the Twelve Apostles rock formation, standing resilient against the elements for millions of years. Meanwhile, the fierce Southern Ocean has carved out natural wonders such as the London Bridge and Loch Ard Gorge from the rock.
TOUR PROGRAM:
-
Anglesea: A small and picturesque tourist town, a perfect rest stop for our group right before the gateway to the Great Ocean Road wonders.

Great Ocean Road Archway: Marks the construction milestone of this unique road, where many veterans lost their lives to complete the road.
-
Lorne Bridge: A mesmerizing seascape with rocky shores and a view of the coastal town.

- Cape Catton: An impressive viewpoint of the Great Ocean Road.
-
Apollo Bay: The largest town along the Great Ocean Road tour. Apollo Bay is a picturesque town with charming lodges on the hillside overlooking the blue sea and white sand. After enjoying the beach, you’ll have time for lunch on your own, stroll, and take photos under the impressive ancient trees.
-
Gibson Steps: A fantastic stop along the Great Ocean Road. Here, you can walk down the steps carved into the cliffside to reach the sandy beach below, where you'll admire the towering limestone stacks rising from the ocean from a completely different perspective compared to the view from above. You'll get to touch the soft sand, hear the waves crashing right beside you, and feel the grandeur of the massive rock formations just a few meters away.
- Optional helicopter flight ($175 per person): The helicopter will take you on a tour of the sights from the Twelve Apostles to the London Bridge.
