Tours and itineraries – Great Ocean Road

Touring the Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road is one of the world’s most scenic coastal drives. The road extends from Torquay in the east to Nelson in the west with the stretch between Lorne and Apollo Bay being the most picturesque. Huge cliffs, towering rock stacks, raging surf, tranquil bays, beautiful beaches, lush forests and fun filled resort towns are all part of the experience.

There are plenty of touring ‘add-ons’ to expand the Great Ocean Road experience whether travelling further inland to the Grampians National Park and the Goldfields, across Victoria’s western border to south east South Australia or around Port Phillip Bay in the east taking in the Bellarine and Mornington peninsulas. Call into Visitor Information Centres along the way for maps, official Visitor Guides and local advice.
