Great Ocean Road Luxury Tour with LuxeVentures & GLT

Stretching along Victoria’s southern coast, the Great Ocean Road is one of Australia’s most spectacular coastal drives, famous for its rugged cliffs, sweeping ocean vistas, and distinctive rock formations sculpted by relentless waves. LuxeVentures & GLT invites adventurers to experience this iconic route over a meticulously crafted 1.5-day private tour that blends comfort, natural marvels, and intimate encounters with the wild.

This tour begins with a personalized pickup from Melbourne’s CBD, setting the tone for an elite road trip aboard a private Mercedes van equipped with climate control, smart amenities, and plush seating for up to seven passengers. The journey cruises through renowned surf towns like Torquay and Bells Beach, renowned for their powerful breaks and vibrant surf culture. Anglesea offers a unique chance to spot kangaroos grazing near the golf course or indulge in artisan chocolates.

As the road twists along the coast, guests will see Aireys Inlet’s classic lighthouse, the famed Great Ocean Road sign at Eastern View, and the lush rainforest walks at Maits Rest, where towering ancient trees create an otherworldly canopy. The tour stops at Port Campbell National Park to admire the towering limestone stacks of the 12 Apostles and explore historic shipwreck sites like Loch Ard Gorge.

An overnight stay in charming Port Fairy breaks up the journey, allowing travelers to witness a sunrise or sunset in a setting that few day visitors experience. On day two, wildlife watchers can glimpse koalas, kangaroos, and eagles near Tower Hill Reserve and, seasonally, whales from Logans Beach. The tour winds back toward Melbourne with opportunities for waterfall views at Hopetoun Falls and a coffee break in the quaint Otways town.
