Leave City Crowds Behind and Explore Australia’s Incredibly Beautiful Coastline

Taking a drive down the Great Ocean Road will lead you to some brilliant scenery that the coastal state of Victoria boasts. Picturesque landscapes, outstanding beaches, lush green stretches - you’ll see and relish it all. The guide accompanying you on the tour will offer insights into the history of every place that’s on the itinerary, making it a memorable one.

Explore Various Landmarks Along The Coast And Catch An Unforgettable Sunset At Twelve Apostles

You’ll visit the Memorial Arch, a World War I monument that played a key role in recognizing long-lost communities that inhabited the Great Ocean Road area. A photograph here is considered a souvenir, so you should probably get one yourself! Thereafter, you'll go on a long drive along the coastal towns of Lorne and Apollo Bay, and learn about their tranquil lifestyles. You'll also be making your way through the Great Otway National Park, a place that’s residence to a large number of bird species, koalas, and more.

Loch Ard Gorge, a must-see on Australia’s southeast coast, is up next and you'll be told stories and facts about its famous shipwreck by the guide. You'll get to explore a museum, a cemetery, and more in the area while there. Lastly, head to the Twelve Apostles where you’ll witness one of the most beautiful sunsets that you can ever imagine, capture it on your camera and make a lasting memory of it. This will undoubtedly be the true highlight of the trip!
