An experienced driver-guide will provide captivating commentary about this iconic road’s place in Australian folklore as you go.

After lunch, follow the Great Ocean Road into the mountains for a stroll in the cool, temperate rainforest at Maits Rest. From there, it’s onward to the world-famous Port Campbell National Park and its array of incredible rock formations. You’ll be awestruck by the majestic monoliths of the Twelve Apostles, which can be viewed both from the clifftops and from beach level at Gibsons Steps.
