About this tour
Spend 11–12 hours driving Victoria's Great Ocean Road with a private guide, stopping at the iconic Twelve Apostles and working your way through coastal towns, national parks and native bushland. You'll spot wild kangaroos and koalas, taste local wines at cellar doors, and eat gourmet morning tea and lunch along the way. This is a fully customisable private experience—not a group tour—so your itinerary shifts to match your interests and pace.

What to expect
Your guide picks you up and steers you through rolling hills and bushland toward the coast. You'll stop frequently—some planned, some on instinct—to walk through national parks, pause at lookouts, and explore sleepy towns. Wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed but happen often enough; bring binoculars. Wine tastings happen at working cellar doors, not tourist traps. Food arrives at sensible times and tastes noticeably better than standard tour fare. Eleven hours sounds long but the drive itself is scenery; you're rarely stuck in a van.
