Optimal reverse itinerary to avoid backlighting and crowds: Head straight to the Twelve Apostles in the morning to beat peak crowds, allowing you to comfortably admire nature's wonders and capture stunning photos!
The Great Ocean Road passes through many unique attractions, and you can select some of them for a one-day trip; if you want to immerse yourself in the wonders of the coast, it is recommended to arrange more time for in-depth exploration.
Reviews: [Mercedes 329 Minibus 249] Melbourne Great Ocean Walk + Twelve Apostles 1-day tour
Guest User2026-01-19
I spent five nights in Melbourne during my trip to Australia, including one day exploring the Great Ocean Road. Friends recommended driving, but there are so many factors to consider when driving abroad. This Great Ocean Road day trip on Ctrip was a much more convenient option. A professional guide drove us around, making the itinerary both compact and comfortable, allowing us to see more and experience more of the wonders within the allotted time. The Twelve Apostles and Apollo Bay were absolutely breathtaking!
The bus was comfortable and smooth, the guide was professional and attentive, and the entire journey was seamless. Apollo Bay's crescent shape was incredibly soothing; the azure waters paired with the lush greenery, enjoying fresh seafood while feeling the sea breeze, was pure bliss. The most stunning sight was undoubtedly the Twelve Apostles, seven limestone pillars rising from the sea. Waves crashing against the rocks create white sprays, and the sunlight turning the rocks golden—a testament to nature's artistry.
Overall, the trip was stress-free with no worries about transportation or tickets, the schedule was well-planned and not rushed, and the value for money was exceptional. This journey was full of surprises and is definitely a must-do experience in Melbourne!
