Great Ocean Road & Twelve Apostles
Full day · ~12 hours
Iconic coastal drive from Torquay through the surf coast and rainforest to the Twelve Apostles. We pick you up at home, drive the route at your pace, wait at every stop, and bring you home — usually back in the West by 8 pm. Bring sunscreen, walking shoes, and a camera.

Common questions
Good to know.
- Can we change the order of stops?
- Yes — tell us at booking and we'll re-sequence. Twelve Apostles is best at golden hour either way, so we work backwards from that.
- Is it suitable for elderly passengers?
- Yes — most stops have step-free viewing platforms within a 50-metre walk from the carpark. We'll skip the longer walks if mobility is a concern.
- What if the weather's bad?
- We'll still go. The drive is beautiful in mist and the rainforest stops are protected. If a section is closed (rare), we re-route on the day.
