What to expect
You'll board in Melbourne with barista coffee, then settle into a comfortable coach for the scenic drive. The wildlife park visit lets you observe and handle native animals whilst learning about the conservation work happening there. Lunch is light and seasonal, eaten at the park's cafe with views of the surrounding bush. Mid-tour, you'll stop at two small beach towns where the pace slows—grab fish and chips, browse local shops, or just breathe in the salt air. The grand finale is a glass of something cold overlooking the 12 Apostles as the afternoon light softens the stone.
Good to know
Melbourne hotel pickups and returns are available on request—confirm when booking. Children can travel in prams; infants must sit on an adult's lap. The tour suits all fitness levels, though expect light walking at beach stops and the wildlife park. Bring sunscreen and a light layer; coastal weather changes quickly.
