Great Ocean Road Trip in a Van

Start your day at 7am outside local Melbourne cafe, Cento Mani (don't forget to grab a coffee if you need a caffeine injection)!

Hop on board your 7-seater van and meet your travel mates - other like-minded independent travellers who like you want to experience Great Ocean Road a little differently.

As you make your way down the coast, you'll learn about the history of area. Once you arrive to the coast, you'll stop for a coffee at a cafe that is a favourite of the locals (you'll be the only tour group in attendance).

As the ocean comes into view, you'll have plenty of opportunities to pull over for a photo. See something that captures your interest? Just let your driver know, your wish is our command.

Some stops we'll make sure to stop at on every tour:

• "Great Ocean Road" telegraph pole sign
• Apollo Bay
• Lorne (views the surfing school)
• Wildlife spotting (most guests see koalas, kangaroos, parakeets and more)
• 12 Apostles
• Loch Ard Gorge beach

With a small group size, we're able to get back home far earlier than big bus tours. We'll drop you back at Cento Mani at around 6pm.
