- Great Ocean Road - Begin the Great Ocean Road Tour
- Loch Ard Gorge - This is the site of Australia’s most renowned shipwreck, the Loch Ard, which sank here in 1878.
- The Razorback - The most striking limestone formation in the area, offering breathtaking views!
- Twelve Apostles - Initially called the “Sow and Piglets,” this rock formation was renamed by early settlers after the disciples of Jesus Christ. Interestingly, there are not actually twelve “Apostles,” and it’s uncertain if there ever were. These are the tallest limestone stacks globally and undoubtedly Victoria’s most iconic attraction.
-
Apollo Bay - Lunch Stop.
Apollo Bay, known as ‘Paradise by the Sea,’ was named after a sloop called the Apollo that sought refuge in the bay’s calm waters during a fierce storm in 1845. The town’s history is deeply connected to the fishing and timber industries, with a small fishing fleet still operating today. - Kennett River - A prime location to spot “Wild” Koalas.
- Split Point Lighthouse - A must-see landmark, the Split Point Lighthouse stands as a magnificent sentinel on the Shipwreck Coast. Explore maritime history and marvel at this wild and perilous coastline where hundreds of ships have met their fate.

Tony was a great tour guide - Fantastic scenery, very well organised. We visited several siges including the 12 Apostles. Lots of breaks for refreshments and toilet stops. Tony was informative and drove safely.

A pleasant journey - This trip was very pleasant, the director who met this time was William, who cared about us all during the process and tried to help with any questions. One of the excursions was to see wild bears, and William helped us find nearby bears on the side of the road, so it was a very touching experience to observe wild animals so close. Overall time control of the trip is also very appropriate and have fun.

Kangaroos, koalas and stunning views - Only had a short time to explore the Melbourne region.
Well run trip, Ray knows his stuff and has some good tips to get the most of the stops.
Coach is not new and shiny, but does the job and both the aircon and heating work!
It is a long trip, and the ocean road is very bendy.
We got see koalas and kangaroos!

Worth recommending to everyone, you can rest fully on the bus, there are many beautiful views along the road - Willian was a very dedicated tour guide today。 Although the collection time is missed, but the tour guide has the last place to wait for us to collect the past, the travel agency is also willing to pay us the taxi fee, is a responsible travel agent, and the itinerary is rich

Good experience - There is ample time at each stop and you can use all the time or go back to the bus to rest. Jack, the guide and bus driver made sure that everyone was back at every stop before leaving. I was impressed that there was a grace period during the pick up too. Recommended to layer up as it is very windy and cold, preferably with a jacket with a hood and/or hat, even gloves if you get cold easily. There is a stop for the toilet and breakfast before the attractions. Jack did a good job of commentary (English and Chinese) with some dry humour while driving a big bus which was not easy. Bring snacks as lunch was late.

Mixed Results - The driver and the tour guide is the same person. This means that since they need to focus on the road, they are unable to give as much context about the areas etc. He also waited for us in the bus. This is fine if you just want someone to drive you without context, however I was under the impression that I was going to be given a full detailed tour.
Additionally (and I assume this is the exception and not the rule) our bus did break down in the middle of nowhere and we were delayed by ~2.5 hours (our arrival time back in the CBD was 10.40PM when we were meant to return back by 7-8PM) as we needed to wait for a new bus.
Once the new bus driver arrived, Leon (our original tour guide/driver) was able to focus on being a tour guide only and he was very good. He also took us to see kangaroos and a koala which was very exciting and a highlight. The sights on the tour were extremely beautiful, and I highly recommend Great Ocean Road in general.
Due to the bus breaking down, I requested a 50% refund and was granted it.
That said, if I could go again, I would probably go with a smaller tour bus, as you spend less time waiting for people (at rest stops, etc). This is a big bus (holds 51 people) so there is a LOT of time spent waiting.
