Drive a private Mercedes Sprinter from Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road to the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and temperate rainforest. This full-day, 12-hour tour blends iconic coastal views, short walks and wildlife spotting with flexible timing and onboard comforts.
The road unfurls along windswept cliffs and eucalyptus-scented gullies as your private Mercedes Sprinter threads a ribbon of asphalt between surf and forest. Morning light hits the limestone faces of the Twelve Apostles, waves carving under rock pillars that rise like weathered columns from the Southern Ocean. Later the bus pulls into a grove of temperate rainforest where tree ferns shade a mossy boardwalk; gulls wheel, and the guide points out a sleeping koala curled high in a gum.

The road unfurls along windswept cliffs and eucalyptus-scented gullies as your private Mercedes Sprinter threads a ribbon of asphalt between surf and forest. Morning light hits the limestone faces of the Twelve Apostles, waves carving under rock pillars that rise like weathered columns from the Southern Ocean. Later the bus pulls into a grove of temperate rainforest where tree ferns shade a mossy boardwalk; gulls wheel, and the guide points out a sleeping koala curled high in a gum.
This full-day private tour follows the classic Great Ocean Road corridor — highlights include the Twelve Apostles (limestone stacks up to roughly 50 m high), Loch Ard Gorge (site of the 1878 shipwreck that gave it its name), Gibson Steps (a stair descent to a stony beach when tides allow), London Bridge (collapsed in 1990), and a short walk at Maits Rest through Gondwana-era forest. The route threads Victorian coastal history, 20th-century road-building heritage and active coastal erosion geology that continues to reshape the shoreline.
Practical edge: the tour is a 12-hour private drive with multiple short stops and one longer rainforest walk of about 20–60 minutes. Wear grippy shoes for uneven boardwalks and stairs; tides can restrict beach access at Gibson Steps. Bring a windproof layer, sun protection, and a charged camera — USB ports and bottled water are provided onboard. The experience suits travelers wanting accessibility, flexible pacing, and concentrated photo opportunities without the crowds of a large coach tour.
