About this trip
A small-group road trip along one of Australia's classic coastal routes, taking you from Melbourne to Adelaide over three days with a group of just 8.
You'll trace the Great Ocean Road past surf breaks and limestone cliffs, spend a night on the shipwreck coast, then cut inland through cave country and wine region to finish in Adelaide.
It's a fully guided, easy-paced way to cover a lot of ground and see the highlights without organising the driving or logistics yourself.
What you'll do
- Drive the Great Ocean Road via Bells Beach and Lorne
- Walk through Great Otway National Park and overnight in Apollo Bay
- See the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and London Bridge on the shipwreck coast
- Spot native wildlife at Tower Hill Game Reserve
- Join a cave tour in Naracoorte Caves National Park
- Visit Hahndorf and Mt Lofty summit before arriving in Adelaide
- A fast-moving trip — you change base most nights over the three days
- Easy-paced sightseeing rather than strenuous activity, suited to families and groups
Worth it if you want wildlife spotting and Great Ocean Road scenery without driving yourself. Think twice if you need flexibility or solo travel space.
- Guide Pierre consistently delivers: knowledgeable, personable, spots wildlife you'd miss alone.
- Small group size and comfortable van make the 3-day route genuinely pleasant, not cramped.
- Accommodation and dining are proper standouts; unusual breakfast menus and quality meals included.
- No reviews mention costs, timing, or logistics; assume standard itinerary suits most travellers.
