What the Melbourne to Adelaide Great Ocean Road tour includes

The tour is a one-way transfer that takes three days to do what most people try to compress into one. Day one follows about 180 km of the heritage-listed Great Ocean Road to the 12 Apostles, with time at lookouts, stops in the coastal towns and a walk through rainforest, before the night in Warrnambool. Day two begins at Tower Hill, an extinct volcano with Aboriginal history and native wildlife, then climbs to the Pinnacles for the view across the Grampians and ends in Halls Gap. Day three is spent inside Grampians National Park, with mountain outlooks and waterfalls, before the run across the border and into Adelaide at approximately 7:30pm.

Travel is in an air-conditioned mini-coach in a small group, with an expert driver-guide giving live commentary in English. Admission to all national parks is covered, as are two nights' accommodation in Halls Gap and Warrnambool, breakfast and dinner. Guided bush walking adds up to roughly 6.5 km over the three days, so pack shoes you can walk in rather than sandals.

Food and drinks beyond the meals listed, travel insurance and personal spending money are not included. Bookings are open to children aged 6 to 17 and adults 18 and over.
