About the place

World-famous iconic sights

Your adventure begins in a quaint rural town, perfect for stretching your legs and enjoying a morning coffee (at your own expense). From there, you'll head straight to the world-famous Twelve Apostles, arriving early to savor the majestic limestone formations without the usual crowds.

Breathtaking ocean views and cool rock formations

The adventure continues to the narrow and jagged Razorback, a rock formation created by the wind-blown spray of the surf over the centuries and the secluded Loch Ard Gorge beach where you can listen to your guide tell you the shipwreck history story that gave its name. Head on to the 86-staircase Gibson Steps to see the two jutting rocks, Gog and Magog rising from the ocean.

Australia’s natural wonders at its best 

The adventure takes you into the heart of Great Otway National Park for a short rainforest walk, where you walk through the mossy ferns and giant birch trees before heading on to Kenneth River. Look up to see some koalas hugging the trees and colorful rosellas flying by. End your journey at Lorne, a charming seaside town where you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the Southern Ocean from Teddy’s Lookout.
