Port Campbell National Park



Our “burger with the lot” epic scenery tour -

a fun-filled daytrip from Melbourne with elevated seat viewing along the world-renowned Great Ocean Road

with real wildlife viewing, stunning beaches & an ancient rainforest on the way to explore the majestic coastline of 12 Apostles, Gibson Steps, Razorback, Island Archway & the Loch Ard Gorge.

Awaken with barista coffee or delights from a huge gourmet Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery, plus our Anzac biscuits to learn Aussie history before the Memorial Arch. Dine at a gem seaside town for lunch & take a dip in the sea if you wish.

We really do make the Great Ocean Road AMAZING!

Our thoughtful details along the way add-up to a big difference to all the others,
we ONLY tour this incredible region so let us make your once-in-a-lifetime day here the best it can be with our medium size bus that can access real highlights the large coaches can't get to!

Be collected from Melbourne, Southbank & St Kilda hotels to journey to:
+ rise 'n shine at a Chocolaterie for free tastings & purchase cafe delights if you wish, or just enjoy the morning juice & Anzac biscuits on us in the lovely gardens
+ drive by a kangaroo hang-out to see who's up
+ Memorial Arch album-cover-worthy pic before the jaw-dropping coast-hugging scenery unfolds
+ refresh under the gum trees enveloping Lorne bay
+ fabulous lunch options at Apollo Bay town, plus take a quick dip in the sea if you bring bathers!
+ step inside Maits Rest rainforest for a moment to feel like you're in another world - showcasing the diversity of the Great Ocean Road

Now you've arrived at the Shipwreck Coast grand finale;
+ Gibson Steps view from the top or conquer the grand sea cliff steps to the rugged shoreline (if conditions permit)
+ Loch Ard Gorge jewel in the crown
+ Island Archway & the Razorback a beast when raging seas swell
+ 12 Apostles be mesmerised by the alluring stacks, optional helicopter ride if you'd like us to pre-arrange,
after walking the coastal sites freshen-up with a drink & snack (card only) maybe try the local made Timboon Ice-Cream

> journey back via farming countryside with whole hearts & wide smiles, forever grateful :)
share your lifelong memory photos & now relax as we arrive to Melbourne around 7:30-8pm depending on variables in the day, to commence the hotel drops & for your dinner plans

How does all that sound?
One big, unforgettable day of bucket-list memories made
