See one of the world's most spectacular coastal drives without the coach crowds. Your own vehicle, your own driver, your own pace — the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, surf towns and rainforest, with pickup from your Melbourne door.
The Great Ocean Road rewards flexibility — golden-hour light at the Apostles, an extra half hour at a lookout, a lunch stop the coaches skip. A private tour gives you all of it.
Stand above the famous limestone stacks — and because you set the schedule, you can time it for the softer light the tour buses miss.
Walk down into the gorge where the Loch Ard ran aground in 1878 — dramatic cliffs, sea caves and a beach between them.
Torquay, Anglesea, Lorne and Apollo Bay — stop for coffee, fish and chips or a beach walk wherever takes your fancy.
Detour through Great Otway National Park for tree-top ferns, waterfalls and — if you're lucky — wild koalas at Kennett River.
We pick up from your home or hotel anywhere in Melbourne and drop you back at the end — no meeting points, no transfers.
Leave when you want, stay as long as you like at each stop, and skip anything that doesn't interest you. It's your day.
The Great Ocean Road stretches 243 kilometres along Victoria's southwest coast, and doing it properly takes a full day — usually 10 to 12 hours door-to-door. With a private vehicle you make the most of every hour instead of waiting on a coach timetable.
Most groups leave Melbourne around 8am, hit the coast at Torquay, and work west: a look at Bells Beach, morning tea in Lorne, koala spotting at Kennett River, lunch in Apollo Bay, then through the Otways to the main event — the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge in the afternoon. Home via the inland highway, which is faster and lets you see the coast in daylight both ways where it counts.
That said, it's your tour — reverse it, add the Cape Otway Lighthouse, linger at the Gibson Steps, or build the day around a restaurant you've been wanting to try. Your driver knows the road and will shape the day around what matters to you.
Pair it with our other Victoria day tours, or if you're visiting Melbourne, let us handle your airport transfer too.
