About Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island Penguins 2 Day Tour
Experience the best of Victoria on this comprehensive two-day tour that combines the dramatic Great Ocean Road and the adorable Phillip Island penguins. Travel from Melbourne to witness iconic coastal scenery, ancient shipwreck history, and wildlife encounters all in one unforgettable package with an overnight stay included.
Local Legends & Stories
The Great Ocean Road was built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932 as a memorial to their wartime service. The 12 Apostles owe their name to a biblical reference and a nearby grazing station, and the area is steeped in tales of shipwrecks from the treacherous Shipwreck Coast.

Relax on pristine surf beaches like Bells Beach and check out the historic Surf Life Saving Club
Hidden Gems

The small coastal town of Port Campbell has a charming local bakery worth a detour for fresh pastries
