Private Express Experience - 12 Apostles

About this tour

• Explore Loch Ard Gorge's sheltered cove and historical sites

What to expect

You'll be collected for a direct drive to Port Campbell National Park. Most of the day is spent on foot exploring the rock formations and gorges at a leisurely pace—the landscape does the talking. Your guide provides local knowledge about the area's shipwrecks and geological forces that carved these formations. A break in Port Campbell gives you time to grab lunch at a café of your choice and stretch your legs in the village. The route includes some stairs and uneven surfaces, so reasonable fitness helps, though there's no rush.

Good to know

Lunch is at your own cost; the guide will point out options. Wear layers—coastal weather changes quickly. The vehicle requires stepping up to enter; wheelchair users should confirm accessibility before booking. Complimentary water and tea/coffee breaks keep you comfortable throughout the day.
