The Great Ocean Road is a beautiful, scenic region, winding along the western coast of Victoria

Located a few hours by road from Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road offers magnificent views of the Victorian landscape and coastal towns.

One of the highlights and a significant site of the region, is the remnants of the Twelve Apostles – natural limestone pillars freestanding in the Southern Ocean. These fantastic natural features are the result of millions of years of constant erosion from the mainland’s limestone cliffs.

There are plentiful activities to be discovered along the Great Ocean Road, including swimming in the clear, crisp ocean, sea kayaking with the local seals, deep-sea fishing or learning to surf.

The Great Ocean Road is one of the most iconic road trips and is full of quaint seaside towns, fresh seafood and beautiful scenery, there is often not enough time to view it all. To make the day even more special, include a one-way helicopter ride and explore the region by air.
