Great Ocean Road Sunset Tour
What your day looks like
Depart Melbourne later in the morning and journey along the world-famous Great Ocean Road, enjoying a more relaxed start to your day and fewer crowds at key locations. This experience is designed to feel unhurried, immersive, and perfectly timed. With a maximum of 24 guests, travel in comfort alongside an expert local guide who brings the region to life through stories and local insight. Begin with a stop in the seaside town of Anglesea, where you can unwind by the beach and enjoy the relaxed coastal atmosphere. Continue to the iconic Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch, marking the official start of this historic route. As the journey unfolds, the pace softens as you head into the forested landscapes of the Otway region. Around Kennett River, keep an eye out for local wildlife while your guide shares insights into the surrounding environment. Further along the coast, the scenery becomes more dramatic as you arrive at Loch Ard Gorge. Here, your guide will share the story behind one of the most famous shipwrecks along this coastline, set against towering cliffs and a hidden beach. As the day winds down, you’ll arrive at the iconic Twelve Apostles just in time for sunset. Watching the golden light fall across these remarkable rock formations is a truly special moment and the perfect way to end the journey. After sunset, begin the return to Melbourne, arriving later in the evening with a full day of unforgettable coastal moments behind you. During the day, short stops will be made for lunch and dinner, giving you time to purchase food along the way. Timings and locations may vary depending on the season.
