Your Adventure
The tour kicks off in a quaint rural town ideal for stretching out and grabbing some morning coffee (at your own expense). From there, it's an early start to one of Australia's most famous landmarks: the world-famous Twelve Apostles. Arriving ahead of the crowds lets you fully appreciate its majestic limestone formations.
Stunning Ocean Views & Unique Rock Formations
Your journey continues as you explore Razorback, a striking rock formation sculpted by centuries of wind-blown surf spray and visit Loch Ard Gorge beach. Here, listen to your guide recount the shipwreck tale that inspired its name. Next up is the 86-staircase Gibson Steps where two prominent rocks named Gog and Magog stand tall above the ocean.
Experience Australia’s Natural Wonders
The adventure deepens as you enter Great Otway National Park for a brief rainforest walk amidst lush mossy ferns and towering birch trees. Continue to Kenneth River, where koalas can be spotted clinging to tree branches while colorful rosellas flit by overhead. Your tour concludes in Lorne, a picturesque seaside town offering stunning views of the Southern Ocean from Teddy’s Lookout.
