Overview

The famous Great Ocean Road is a must for any visitor to Melbourne. This tour is purely private and bespoke, meaning we do not take other groups but yourselves.

Unlike other tours, you get to choose which particular places and how much time you would like to spend there, and we help that happen. We have selected the best attractions, plus Kangaroo and Koala viewing in nature.

The reverse tour starts at the Twelve Apostles and returns via the Great Ocean Road to avoid the crowds from the big buses. This means you will explore the uninterrupted views of most attractions.

The wrong crowd spoils many trips, and we believe that if you are going to enjoy this, make it private. This tour is excellent if you have children, and we can accommodate child seats; advise after you book.

Our first stop, about 1.5 hours from Melbourne, will be a Coffee/Breakfast stop for your convenience and Kangaroos at the end of the day. This store is best started early, the early bird catches the worm

Split Point Lighthouse

The lighthouse was constructed in 1891. For 27 years, three lighthouse keepers worked at this remote location, ensuring the light was operating well and communicating with ships via a number of code systems. The lighthouse still has its original construction with a wonderful staircase and timber fittings. The lantern still operates having had more than three different light sources over its history. The tower was converted to automatic operation in 1919. The keepers' cottages and stables form an intrinsic part of the lighthouse precinct.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
