Embark on a reverse Great Ocean Road day trip from Melbourne, designed to avoid the crowds while maximizing your coastal experience. Begin inland and arrive early at the breathtaking Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge, enjoying their beauty in morning light before the tour buses arrive.
After a scenic picnic lunch, journey back along the coastline through the Otways, with a guided walk among towering rainforest trees. Continue along the iconic coastal route past Apollo Bay, stopping to spot wild koalas in the eucalyptus trees.
Wrap up your adventure with a photo at the famous Memorial Arch and enjoy the relaxing drive back to Melbourne—this reverse route offers all the highlights with fewer crowds.
Absolutely loved our day and our guide. It was a long day but our guide James “Wheels” kept everything fun and lively – with his singing and commentary. He was also super accommodating which was important as we were traveling with a 3 year old. 10/10 would definitely recommend this tour and service.
The trip that we took was not the reverse as there were not enough people to fill it. Our tour we took was the other trip for the Great Ocean Road. The trip was amazing and the guide Likey was awesome and very informative. Likey made the trip very interesting and fun.
A great tour with an exceptionally good guide named Paul. But unfortunately the weather was terrible, which I know is completely outside your control, but as most of the stops were at outside locations it did have a big impact on the enjoyment of the tour.
We had a great day, Brit was amazing, so knowledgeable & entertaining, probably the best tour I’ve been on, would live to do another tour with her
our guide Janet (J-Dog) gave us an awesome tour. She was very knowledgeable, friendly & great sense of humour. We would highly recommend this tour!
We had a great trip. Definitely a recommendation! We also saw a koala and a kangaroo on our tour.
It was a great day with Craig (the Berry one). He has a huge knowledge about the area, it was nice learning this and that from him. I would really recommend this tour!
