Check availability →Good to know: Read the itinerary, pickup and finish time rather than the destination name alone. The Great Ocean Road starts about 90 minutes from central Melbourne and the Twelve Apostles are roughly four hours away. Phillip Island is around 90 minutes to two hours by road. City beaches sit on Port Phillip Bay; they are not the surf beaches shown on Great Ocean Road tours.
Good to know
No. Its eastern start near Torquay is about 90 minutes from central Melbourne, while the Twelve Apostles are roughly four hours away. A full tour is a long day.
Allow about 90 minutes to two hours by road, depending on traffic and destination. The Penguin Parade is at sunset, so tours return late.
Yes. Wine and food tours leave Melbourne, which also avoids driving after tastings. Self-driving gives more freedom but needs a designated driver.
Yes, including bay beaches around St Kilda and Brighton. They face Port Phillip Bay and are not the open-ocean surf beaches of the Great Ocean Road.
No. The famous Penguin Parade is on Phillip Island. Melbourne is the departure city for many tours, not the location of the attraction.
It has no Twelve Apostles, ocean-road cliffs or Phillip Island penguin beach within the city. Those are bookable regional trips with substantial road time.
