• Melbourne - Pickup is available from Melbourne CBD 3000, Southbank 3006, and Docklands 3008 areas only.
• Colac - Coffee stop - Discover this town’s rich farming history and savor delightful products from a local bakery.
• Twelve Apostles - Experience the rugged beauty of the renowned 12 Apostles, stunning rock formations that majestically rise from the Southern Ocean along Victoria’s dramatic coastline.

Formed by the constant erosion of the mainland’s limestone cliffs starting 10–20 million years ago, the stormy Southern Ocean and fierce winds gradually wore away the softer limestone, creating caves in the cliffs.

These caves eventually turned into arches, and when they collapsed, rock stacks up to 45 meters high were left isolated from the shore.

• Loch Ard Gorge - Loch Ard Gorge is a haven of natural beauty, coastal wilderness, and maritime history. Take time to explore the trails, discovering the blowholes, offshore limestone stacks, and towering cliffs. Visit at dusk to watch the short-tailed shearwaters (muttonbirds) return home. Learn about the Loch Ard shipwreck and the area’s rich maritime history at the nearby Port Campbell Visitor Information Centre.
• The Razorback - Sculpted over thousands of years by the relentless Southern Ocean, the Razorback rises like a jagged spine from the sea — a testament to the raw beauty of Victoria’s Shipwreck Coast. From the viewing platform, your guide will share insights into the region’s geology, erosion processes, and the stories that shaped this rugged coastline.

This stop is perfectly timed within your itinerary, following visits to nearby highlights such as Loch Ard Gorge and the world-famous Twelve Apostles, allowing you to explore beyond the typical viewpoints and avoid the busiest crowds.
