About Great Ocean Road Sunset Tour

Perfect for travellers short on time, this scenic journey combines breathtaking coastal views, ancient rainforests, and a touch of local history, all with the comfort of complimentary hotel pickup and drop-off.

Local Legends & Stories

The area is steeped in the dramatic story of the SS Loch Ard, a steamship that wrecked on nearby Mutton Bird Island in 1878, with only two survivors found at the gorge, giving the location its haunting name.
