This list compares Great Ocean Road day tours, from big coaches to small groups that drive the route in reverse. Reverse-direction tours reach the Twelve Apostles late in the day, after the coach crowds have gone, and it changes everything. Brace yourself either way; it’s roughly 12 hours out of Melbourne and back.
Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Great Ocean Road with our small-group ecotour. Discover stunning landscapes and wildlife on this unforgettable adventure from Melbourne!
