Great Ocean Road Reverse Itinerary PREMIUM Tour - Max 12 Guests

13 hoursFree Cancellation

Discover Australia's Great Ocean Road—where coastal views and lush rainforests meet—on this full-day adventure from Melbourne. Heading out from the urban landscape of the city, keep your eyes peeled for koalas, walk through rainforests, and visit local landmarks like the Memorial Arch. A local guide is on-hand to fill you in on the area's history—something many travelers miss out on. Once you've refueled with lunch (own expense) in the beautiful town of Apollo Bay, marvel at the Twelve Apostles (a set of giant limestone stacks), and explore other panoramic views, including the dramatic Loch Ard Gorge.

Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Tour

13 hoursFree Cancellation

The Great Ocean Road's main stops draw crowds by midday, so timing your visit to the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge around the buses takes local know-how. Ride it in reverse in a small group instead, reaching the headline sights ahead of the crowds with more time at each. Hotel pickup from Melbourne's CBD and Southbank sorts the start, so you spend the day looking rather than driving.

A long day but it’s well...

A long day but it’s well worth it. The tour did as described and we got see both the beauty of shore along Great Ocean Road and wild animals. Spotting for wild koalas was a great highlight of the tour along a glimpse of a kangaroo. Our driver was so helpful and funny at times. The stopover at a chocolate factory was a plus and you need try their ice cream - avoid buying 2 scoops, 1 scoop is more than plenty for their serving. Highly recommended!

Best Great Roads Tour!

Absolutely amazing day. Our guide Marty was superb!! He was incredibly kind and helped not only keep us moving along with our activities for the day, but he made sure we knew what to anticipate with clear instructions. The day is in fact long, but you get many opportunities for beautiful walks in various different climates with many bathroom breaks. The scenery is stunning. Reverse itinerary is really the way to go. I give my highest recommendation for this tour and tour company. Lunch stop was also fantastic. Thank you

Full day of fun storytelling and adventures!

We had as really great experience with our tour guide, Sam. He was doing a great job bringing up the energy of the group, sharing fun stories and anecdotes about what we saw and even though several things didn't go according to plan, he made calls in real time and juggled the order of activities so we still got to experience everything. Highly recommend this tour to anyone exploring Cairns!

Good experience

It was very well organized and Crew worked amazingly. The ocean was not rough at that time but lots of people were sea sick. Great advice for everyone to buy seasick medicine the team offers on board. The reef was spectacular and everyone was looked after. Meal was good. Great chance to get the underwater photo as the crew took pictures. Love the experience.

K'gari (Fraser Island) All Inclusive Day Tour

Sian_W, Aug 2026

K'gari Tour

The advert states travelling on a 4 WD bus and not to attend if you have a bad back. Just for information the ride was very fun and bumpy. My husband always ignores this but found it a bit painful at times. Be cautious if you choose to ignore the advice. We had a fantastic day, the tour guide/driver was full of knowledge about the island. We also drove along the beach. Eli creek was awesome. Lake Mckenzie was beautiful.

Kuranda Scenic Railway Day Trip from Cairns

Sunyoung_K, July 2026

It was a wonderful trip...

It was a wonderful trip to take with my family. We chose to take the train first and then the railway, but since it was quite crowded on the way back, I think it would be more enjoyable to take the railway up and the train back down to better manage your time. Nevertheless, it was a satisfying trip overall.
