What to expect
Get a double-dose of Australian sightseeing with this combined tour that includes one day exploring the Great Ocean Road, and another on Phillip Island to view its wildlife up close! Two Aussie travel essentials, both of these destinations are must-visits, and you'll get to witness both firsthand on a comprehensive itinerary spread out over two days with an overnight stay on the Great Ocean Road.
On the first day, depart from Melbourne early in the morning and head out to explore the many incredible views, scenic lookout points and natural highlights of the Great Ocean Road - including the iconic 12 Apostles rock formations - as your knowledgeable and friendly guides provide insight on all the geographical and historic essentials along the way. You'll see why this rugged stretch of coast is widely regarded as one of the world's most beautiful scenic drives before ending the day in the coastal town of Queenscliff where you'll spend the night.
Day two sees you taking a ferry across Port Phillip Bay to explore the beaches and coves of the Mornington Peninsula. Finish up your Victorian adventure with some unforgettable wildlife encounters at the Koala Reserve and sunset Penguin Parade in Phillip Island. At the conclusion of your tour, you'll be returned to Melbourne at the end of day two.
