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.
We hope you can join us!
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.
Wine,Music,Cheese,Ciders (Yarra Valley)
We'll pick you up in the morning and mainly focus on everyone getting to know each other. We get everyone to add to a Spotify playlist so we have some tunes and spend the first hour just chatting!
On my trip we will go to 4 or 5 places, each consisting of 6-7 tastings. I have lots of wineries that I know you'll love and will go to them if no-one is too picky, however I make sure I listen to the group. My trip is a little democracy. Everything we do on my trip is discussed by everyone on the way in.I will give you options to choose from lots of different wineries, cheese factories and chocolate factories, Cider houses,distilleries and breweries.We WILL go to 4 of these places, MAYBE more.
Though I focus on personalizing the day, if you just want to come along and put your trust in me, we will visit 4 four unique venues, all with a point of difference, with one of them being a restaurant where you can order and pay your own way. I’d allow 20-30$ for lunch. Expect pizzas, steaks, seafood,burgers and salads. Really new and awesome restaurant called ‘Quarters’ @ St Huberts Estate.
Generally this is the day
10am Helen and Joeys Estate wine tasting (sometimes kangaroos here)
11amYering Farm wine and cider tasting
12:15 St Huberts Estate for lunch
1:45 Four Pillars Gin
3:10 Chocolate tasting
4:15 Depart
Will be back by 4:50-5:10
We use a 24 seater bus but only fill 16 seats

Bee Hive Tour
Want to experience something different?….really different.
Learn about the intriguing world of honey bees in a way that few get to experience: through the hands-on exploration of an active, living beehive!
Your tour, led by Nathan Stewart, a professional Doreen based beekeeper, will include suiting up in protective gear, lighting a bee smoker, and spending two hours as real-life Beekeeper.
Initially, Nathan will give you some tips on what to look for inside a hive including how to spot the Queen and where to look to potentially witness the birth of a new worker bee. Then, together we’ll lift the lid of a busy hive, watch bees at work creating honey, pull out a frame of honey ready for extraction, and get up close with more than 100,000 bees!
After we carefully close the lid, we’ll sample some of the honey direct from the hives while enjoying a refreshing honey tonic compliments of Karen, Managing Director of Rivers of Yarrambat (who is also a passionate beekeeper herself).
Other things to note:
-Wear casual comfortable clothing with Long Pants, Socks and protective shoes/boots. Avoid wearing dark colour clothing, perfume or aftershave.
-Photos of your experience will be sent afterwards.
-Weather: On rare occasions, our Tours may need to be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled due to severe weather. If needed, we will contact you the day before to make arrangements.
Cooking Class with ChefJacqui Selleck
You will be warmly greeted as you pull up in the driveway by my beautiful Golden Retriever Sophie who will escort you to the front door where delicious aromas are emanating from my kitchen. The open plan setting, beautifully set dining table and kitchen laden with fresh produce is ready to start cooking.

During this time I will teach you very helpful tips and tricks of the trade. You will gain knowledge using and storing ingredients, knife skills, pan frying skills and food styling. As we finish each course we adjourn to the dining table to eat and discuss balance of flavours and textures. We are constantly eating all day. You can ask as many questions as you want and take as many photos as you want too. There is always so much fun during the class that I have to keep you all up to pace so we can finish in time. You will leave feeling so happy and content and like many before you will have forged new friendships and vow to return for the next seasons menu and to bring others you know who will love this experience too.

We @hikeandseektours invite you to hike beautiful coastlines and meet native animals with a friendly local guide.
It’s time to hit the road with a small group (max 8 guests). Our first stop is a surfer’s dream beach, Cape Woolamai.

As we make our way around the Nature Park you can witness stunning views over the Bass Strait and pounding surf below. Look out for wallabies, echidnas, and whales in the winter months.
After our easy/moderate 6.8km hike we will head into Cowes for a delicious lunch or snack at a local café before we make our way to the Phillip Island Koala Reserve.
