Overview

Luxury Private Great Ocean Road Reverse Tour – Avoid the crowds, no rush experience.

Experience the Great Ocean Road in the comfort of your private luxury Mercedes vehicle with a dedicated guide. Unlike group tours, this bespoke journey is designed exclusively for you, with the freedom to choose how long to spend at each stop.

Our carefully planned reverse route begins at the iconic Twelve Apostles, then returns along the coast, avoiding big-bus crowds so you can enjoy uninterrupted views at a relaxed pace. Highlights include the Razorback, stunning lookouts, charming coastal towns, plus opportunities to spot kangaroos and koalas in the wild.

A top-rated guide conducts this tour, with photography assistance. We provide luxury seating, personalised service, and child seats on request. Your day starts with a coffee and breakfast stop before one of Australia’s most breathtaking journeys unfolds.

Private, flexible, and unforgettable – this is the Great Ocean Road done in style.

Split Point Lighthouse

The lighthouse was constructed in 1891. For 27 years, three lighthouse keepers worked at this remote location, ensuring the light was operating well and communicating with ships via a number of code systems. The lighthouse still has its original construction with a wonderful staircase and timber fittings. The lantern still operates having had more than three different light sources over its history. The tower was converted to automatic operation in 1919. The keepers' cottages and stables form an intrinsic part of the lighthouse precinct.
