About this tour
This 3-day road trip pairs two distinct Australian landscapes: the dramatic cliff-lined Great Ocean Road and the quieter mountain ranges of the Grampians. Travel with just 7 fellow passengers in a comfortable minivan, spending day one and a half exploring the coastal drive's winding lookouts and stories of shipwrecks, then heading inland to walk amongst towering peaks and ancient Aboriginal rock art. Stay in villas with views and eat at award-winning restaurants, with all transport, meals (except lunch) and park fees covered.

What to expect
Day one takes you along the coastal route where you'll stop at dramatic viewpoints and learn about vessels wrecked on these shores. The landscape shifts constantly—limestone stacks, hidden coves, windswept beaches. By afternoon, you'll head north into the Grampians, where the pace changes noticeably. Days two and three are spent in these quieter mountains: guided walks reveal rock paintings and Aboriginal sites, whilst the terrain climbs through eucalypt forests to ridgeline vantage points. Your guide carries original shipwreck artefacts and shares local history throughout. Expect moderate walking and plenty of driving; the minivan is air-conditioned but windows open to fresh air.
