Departing Melbourne, your journey begins where the road first meets the coast – Australia’s celebrated surfing mecca and home to the world’s oldest and most prestigious surfing event, The Rip Curl Pro. Spot mobs of lazy kangaroos basking in the morning sun and pass through seaside towns before arriving at Split-Point Lighthouse for morning tea with panoramic views from the cliff-top. Continue along the Great Ocean Road to the seaside hamlet of Kennett River. Get up close to colourful native parrots and observe wild koalas dozing in gumtrees. Lunch will be in the popular coastal village of Apollo Bay before continuing inland through lush verdant gullies and towering ancient forests of the Great Otway National Park. The dramatic coastline of the Shipwreck Coast brings you to the highlight of the day – the rugged splendour of the Twelve Apostles. Stroll cliff-edge boardwalks for the perfect vantage point to see these magnificent limestone stacks rise majestically from the Southern Ocean. Venture on to Loch Ard Gorge – one of the most dramatically beautiful beaches in Australia and discover tales of tragedy and triumph. Conclude your day in spectacular fashion with a private 75-minute helicopter transfer to Melbourne. The flight follows the dramatic coastline before landing in the heart of Melbourne on the Yarra River. A transfer vehicle will be ready to return you to your hotel with time to relax and freshen up before dinner.~~~~ |
