From here, the tour travels through the Otway Ranges to the Shipwreck Coast and the iconic rock formations of the Port Campbell National Park.
The first stop is Loch Ard Gorge, where your guide will recount the dramatic tale of the 1878 shipwreck of the Loch Ard. Despite ongoing construction closures near the Upper Lookout, you'll explore other fascinating viewpoints and rock formations like the Razorback, Dumpling Pots, and the Island Archway.
As the sun begins to set, head to the Twelve Apostles, where you'll witness the stunning transformation of the landscape in the evening light. The changing colours of the sky provide a magnificent backdrop to these iconic rock formations.
