Your adventure begins with an early departure from Melbourne, as you make your way to the charming city of Geelong . Here, you’ll enjoy a relaxing morning tea before strolling along the famous Cunningham Pier , home to the quirky painted bollards—each one telling a vivid stories of the city’s rich history. After soaking in the waterfront views, the journey continues along the iconic Great Ocean Road.
Arriving at Split Point Lighthouse , you’ll have the perfect opportunity to stretch your legs and enjoy a morning coffee with spectacular coastal vistas. The lighthouse, with its rich history and dramatic scenery, is a highlight for both photographers and nature lovers.
Next, stop at the Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch , where you can capture a memorable photo and reflect on the significance of this historic route. This iconic landmark pays tribute to the ANZAC soldiers who built the road after World War I.
As the road winds along the coastline, you’ll pass through the picturesque towns of Lorne and Cumberland River , known for their pristine beaches and tranquil settings. Although these stops are brief pass-bys, the coastal views are sure to leave a lasting impression.
Indulge in a delicious lunch at Apollo Bay , a quaint seaside village known for its fresh local cuisine. Relax and enjoy the coastal atmosphere before heading towards the dramatic landscapes that have made this road famous.
After lunch, immerse yourself in nature with a peaceful Koala Walk , where you’ll have the chance to spot Australia’s beloved marsupials in their natural eucalyptus tree habitat. Afterward, enjoy a refreshing stop with a rainforest walk , surrounded by towering trees and the sounds of wildlife.
The day culminates with visits to some of Australia’s most iconic coastal landmarks. First, you’ll stand in awe at the dramatic beauty of the Twelve Apostles —majestic limestone and sandstone that rise from the churning Southern Ocean. The breathtaking views from the cliff-top boardwalks offer an unforgettable panorama of these towering rock formations.
To cap off the experience, if weather conditions allow, visit the Gibson Steps . The raw, unspoiled beauty of this rugged coastline provides a perfect ending to a day of exploration.
As the sun begins to set, you’ll relax during the drive back to Melbourne. Enjoy a quick stop in Colac to stretch your legs before concluding your unforgettable day of exploration.
