What To Expect

As you depart Melbourne, your 12-hour tour on the Great Ocean Road begins with the drive out of the city and to the coast, passing by sights, such as Bells Beach, where the World Surfing Championships have been held. Continue along Victoria's southern coastline to Apollo Bay, a seaside resort destination. Stop in Apollo Bay to buy lunch (own expense), and then continue your tour to the Twelve Apostles, the major natural landmark of the Great Ocean Road. These craggy limestone pillars that jut up from the water were formed from over millions of years of erosion. Hop off your coach for a little walk along the top of the bluffs, or you can walk down the beach trails for more views of this wild and windy spot. Next, head to Loch Ard Gorge, where you'll stop to hear the history of this location known as the Shipwreck Coast. Listen to the story of the Loch Ard, a British ship that wrecked in 1878 with only two survivors, who managed to make their way to shore. Then continue to your last stop of the day, the seaside village of Port Campbell. Admire its picturesque setting surrounded by Norfolk pine trees and cliffs, and explore the local shops and galleries if you wish.Your tour ends with the return drive to Melbourne.ItineraryHotel Pickup Info:7:45 a.m. - AAT Kings Office "“ Corner Flinders and Russell Streets7:05 a.m. - Adara East Apartments7:25 a.m. - Adina Grand Apartments7:15 a.m. - Atlantis Hotel6:50 a.m. - Bayside Eden6:50 a.m. - Bayview on the Park6:50 a.m. - Como Hotel7:20 a.m. - Crown Metropol7:15 a.m. - Crown Promenade7:20 a.m. - Crown Towers7:25 a.m. - Crowne Plaza Hotel (at top of ramp)7:05 a.m. - Downtowner On Lygon7:00 a.m. - Hilton Southwharf7:20 a.m. - Hotel Sophia6:00 a.m. - Ibis Styles Kingsgate Hotel7:00 a.m. - Ibis Swanston Street7:35 a.m. - Intercontinental Hotel (Collins St Entrance)7:25 a.m. - Kings Street Backpackers7:10 a.m. - Langham Hotel7:05 a.m. - Magnolia Court7:40 a.m. - Mantra on Russell7:20 a.m. - Mantra on the Park7:30 a.m. - Marriott Hotel7:10 a.m. - Melbourne Short Stay Apartments7:35 a.m. - Mercure Grand on Swanston (Reception Desk)6:55 a.m. - Mercure Pullman Albert Park7:10 a.m. - Mercure Treasury Gardens7:35 a.m. - Mercure Welcome (Reception Desk)7:10 a.m. - Miami Hotel7:35 a.m. - Novotel Collins6:40 a.m. - Novotel St Kilda7:35 a.m. - Oaks on Market7:25 a.m. - Park Hyatt7:05 a.m. - Pullman on the Park7:15 a.m. - Radisson Flagstaff7:40 a.m. - Rendezvous Hotel7:30 a.m. - Rydges Melbourne7:00 a.m. - Seasons Botanical7:15 a.m. - Sofitel Hotel7:20 a.m. - Stamford Plaza7:05 a.m. - Travel Inn Carlton7:05 a.m. - Travelodge Docklands7:10 a.m. - Vibe Savoy7:20 a.m. - Windsor Hotel7:00 a.m. - YHA Metro (Corner of Howard and Courtney Street)
