The Great Ocean Road

Experience 3 of the BEST private tours of the Great Ocean Road with 69 Tours

Private tours of the Great Ocean Road

Whilst most of our tours are focussed on Melbourne, we have designed a number of tours which take our guests outside of the metropolitan area and into the wider regions of Victoria. A very popular region is the Great Ocean Road and our Great Ocean Road private tours explore this region in a number of ways.
Today we are Great Ocean Road specialists, offering three variations of this incredibly popular tour to meet the different needs and budgets of tourists and adventurers. Our original, all-inclusive, Great Ocean Road Discovery Tour continues to be one of our most popular tours. For those who want a little bit more, or a little bit less, we now also offer a 9 Express Tour, as well as the ultimate, Two Day SUPER Tour.

WEATHER ALERT!
Weather conditions need careful consideration when planning a tour on the Great Ocean Road.
Firstly, many lookouts along the Great Ocean Road are exposed to strong winds. This is because these lookouts are on top of cliffs which look out onto the open ocean. Not surprisingly, this exposes visitors to wind, and in some cases, the wind can be very strong and quite cold, making the viewing experience quite uncomfortable. Secondly, there is little shelter at the lookouts resulting in visitors being exposed to weather conditions. If it rains, visitors get wet. If there are cold winds, visitors become cold and uncomfortable. These issues can be avoided by timing the tour so it takes place during warm and calm weather, or, by taking appropriate clothing and accessories, such as a waterproof jacket and an umbrella.
Thirdly, the drive from Melbourne to explore the Great Ocean Road is long. Essentially, it is a whole day outing. If you undertake this trip during a day with bad weather, it’s going to be a long and uncomfortable day. For many visitors, a Great Ocean Road tour will be a once in a lifetime opportunity, so coming back a second time may not be a feasible option. For this reason, if you are considering this tour you want to make sure that the weather is right, so it becomes and enjoyable and memorable experience.
To enjoy your Great Ocean Road tour you definitely want a day without rain. Ideally, the temperature will be between 20 and 35 degrees, not too windy and clear. Be careful not to get sunburnt!!!

Great Ocean Road Virtual Tour

The Great Ocean Road is Victoria’s second most visited tourist region…after Melbourne.

I have designed tours of this region in a way that allows guests to see the best locations in the most efficient manner, while minimising contact with large crowds and maximising interaction with wildlife.

Great Ocean Road Express Tour

If you are severely time limited, this tour is for you. Visit the key attractions of the Great Ocean Road on this low frills, informative, introductory private tour. Your experienced guide will lead you to all the must-see attractions, including, but not limited to, The Grotto, Twelve Apostles and London Bridge.
Since this tour is designed predominantly for cruise visitors who are in Melbourne for less than a day, the start time for this tour is very flexible, with pick-up and drop-off from the cruise terminal at Station Pier included.

Great Ocean Road Discovery Tour

This all-inclusive tour will not only take you to well-known locations such as London Bridge, Lorne and the iconic Twelve Apostles, but also a number of lesser known, less crowded but equally beautiful locations – including a secret location or two!
As with other 69 Tours, we do this one differently. We start later and we end the tour later. We do the trip in an efficient manner so that we don’t waste time on unnecessary driving and we avoid the crowds. Since this is a private tour we take breaks when you want to. Unlike most other tour providers, if we see wildlife, we stop so you can enjoy the experience.
