Considered one of the best coastal drives in the world, the Great Ocean Road is a must-see for visitors to Victoria. This 244-kilometre-long stretch of road meanders through secret bays, imposing sandstone cliffs, lush rain forests and deserted beaches.

A 2 day private, small group tour with Melbourne Touring Company is a leisurely way to see all this region has to offer. Let the others rush while your group explores awe-inspiring mountain panoramas at a relaxed pace. The tour hugs the coast where natural archways, gorges and grottos abound.
