The Great Ocean Road is Australia’s iconic coastal highway, stretching over 240 kilometers along Victoria’s rugged southern shoreline. This legendary route offers sweeping ocean vistas, towering cliffs sculpted by millennia of wind and waves, and a succession of natural landmarks that have to be seen to be believed. LuxeVentures & GLT transform this classic road trip into a tailored 12-13 hour luxury experience, perfect for travelers seeking comfort amid adventure. Leaving from Melbourne’s CBD with a professional chauffeur guide at the wheel, you’ll travel in a private Mercedes van equipped with climate control, WiFi, and plush seating—ideal for families or small groups up to seven.
Highlights include stops at Torquay, the surf capital of Australia, where the ocean swells attract world-class surfers; Bells Beach, renowned for its fierce surf breaks featured on the ASP World Tour; and the peaceful Anglesea Golf Course, a surprising haven for resident kangaroos. As the journey unfolds, stretch your legs with a serene walk through Maits Rest, a lush temperate rainforest filled with ancient ferns and towering trees. The 12 Apostles dominate the finale—a cluster of limestone stacks rising sharply from the Southern Ocean, framed by panoramic viewing platforms and crashing surf below.
Loch Ard Gorge, nearby, offers a raw glimpse into the area's shipwreck history with steep cliffs and a narrow inlet that tell both natural and human stories. Along the way, opt for moments in quaint surf towns like Lorne and Apollo Bay, each offering tasty local fare and scenic lookouts such as Teddy’s Lookout or Mariners Lookout.
