Explore the 12 Apostles and Great Ocean Road without the crowds on this Great Ocean Road Reverse Tour!
Bored of the same old tours? Us too. That’s why we flipped the script—literally.
Welcome to the Great Ocean Road Reverse Tour—a wild twist on Australia’s most iconic road trip. We skip the tourist traffic, ditch the crowds, and head straight to the good stuff. First stop? The Twelve Apostles, before the selfie-stick army arrives. Stretch out, breathe it in, and get that epic photo without a hundred strangers in the background. But wait, it gets better. We’re talking Loch Ard Gorge’s jaw-dropping cliffs, Razorback Lookout’s wow-factor views, and Mutton Bird Island doing its dramatic ocean thing. Oh, and did we mention a rainforest walk in the magical Melba Gully? Think ancient trees, cool vibes, and zero phone signal, just nature doing its thing.
All this while you ride in style—plush seats, Wi-Fi, USB ports, and extra legroom, for extra comfort. We cruise the legendary Great Ocean Road in reverse through charming towns like Lorne and Apollo Bay, spotting wild koalas along the way. And yes, we stop at the famous Memorial Arch so you can snap that “heck yeah, I did this” shot. By the time you roll back into Melbourne, you’ll have stories, photos, and probably a few new friends. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a full-blown adventure with better timing, bigger laughs, and a whole lot less chaos. Ready to ride the road backwards and blow your mind? Let’s go.
