Great Ocean Road, Otways & 12 Apostles
Would you like to see the world famous 12 Apostles minus the annoying crowds? Then this is the experience for you!
You'll never forget the first moment you see the 12 Apostles: giant stone monoliths, carved by the raging ocean over millions of years. We'll tell you the story of how these remarkable features evolved.
And this journey isn't just about the destination: the Great Ocean Road is Australia's best road trip with rolling hills, lush rainforest and spectacular coastal scenery.
We also visit a number of the other features this area has to offer including the historic Loch Ard Gorge and the spectacular Erskine Falls, a 30m waterfall nestled in the Otway Mountains.
We'll make additional stops in:
Apollo Bay for lunch
Kennett River where wild koalas and native parrots hang out
Lorne, a classic Aussie surf town
The 12 Apostles are almost 200kms from Melbourne so all trips out there involve several hours of driving. Much of the driving is on the Great Ocean Road and the scenery is breathtaking. We take the reverse route to avoid the crowds and break up the driving as much as possible.
Send us a message for a detailed itinerary.
You'll be in a small group of no more than nine so everything will be nice and chill for a truly unforgettable day.
Our tours are 100% fun, 100% carbon neutral and 50% of profits go to a charitable cause.
12 Apostles, Otways & Great Ocean Road
Want to explore the Great Ocean Road in style with a local Aussie guide?
Our premium (but humble) small group experience is made for you :)
@hikeandseektours we like to keep it small, so join the group of 8 other awesome travellers for this memorable day adventure.
With coffees in our hands we’ll depart Melbourne and head straight to the famous 12 Apostles before the masses of people arrive. We promise you’ll never forget this view!
After the Apostles and Gibson Steps, it's time for a delicious lunch at our favourite local cafe before driving through the Great Otway National Park. Here we’ll take an easy-moderate 3km hike through an ancient rainforest to the dreamy Beauchamp Falls (Psst! The big bus companies can't make it here).
Always wanted to see humongous trees? On our next stop we will take a stroll amongst the ‘Giants of the forest’. Photos won’t do any justice of this place, so you *have to* experience it yourself.
From there we’ll cruise along the iconic Great Ocean Road stopping at Apollo Bay for an optional award-winning gelato.
Say G’day to some wild koalas, drop bears, king parrots & kangaroos at Kennett River and walk or swim at the beach in the surftown Lorne - or simply grab a snack before heading back to Melbourne.
It is a long way but once in a lifetime roadtrip!
Other things to note
Grade 2: No bushwalking experience required. The track is a hardened or compacted surface.
There is driving involved on this experience but the views are definitely worth it and our van is very comfy.
Wilsons Prom National Park Day Hike
Want to experience Australian white sandy beaches, blue waters, and mountain tops all in one day?
Join this small group, premium hiking experience! Explore the southernmost point of mainland Australia with a local Aussie guide.
We arrive at Wilsons Prom and embark on our first hike for the day which takes us through beautiful terrain and emerges to the vastness of “The Big Drift” Wilsons Promontory sand dunes. An out of this world and inescapable view that can be often overlooked.
Once we return we will take a small drive to the general store for some lunch. Next, it’s time for our second hike of the day, a 7.8 km return journey to the famous Mt Oberon. From the summit, you will experience arguably the best coastal views in Victoria.
Our next stop is one of our favourites, Squeaky Beach. Here you can wander on the incredibly white rounded grains of quartz which make a squeaking sound giving this popular local beach its name.
Finally, as we are departing the National Park, we will make a stop to see our native furry friends. There is a high chance you’ll see Wombats, Emus, Kangaroos and Wallabies going about their daily business.
