Melbourne Great Ocean Road Charter Tour Guide

📌 Charter reverse Great Ocean Road route: Twelve Apostles → Gibson Steps → Apollo Bay → Find wild koalas → Lorne Town Observation Deck → Great Ocean Road Sign → Little Red Riding Hood Lighthouse. The driver was very enthusiastic, responsible, and helped take photos. The two carpooling girls were also very nice. Picked up at 9 am and returned to the city at 8:30 pm. There are many pastures along the way from the city to the Twelve Apostles, with many cattle, sheep, and horses. You can enjoy the scenery along the way. 📌 Twelve Apostles Life is like a wilderness. Finally, I went to the place on the cover of my childhood textbook. There are only 7 of the Twelve Apostles left. I bought a helicopter ticket on the spot. The bay taken from the helicopter was as blue as a wash. But there were a lot of people in line that day, and the time at this attraction was delayed by almost two hours. Thanks to the driver for patiently waiting and helping to take photos. 📌 Gibson Steps Adjacent to the Twelve Apostles, 86 steps lead directly to the beach, where you can take photos of the statues from another angle. 📌 Apollo Bay The scenery from the Twelve Apostles to Apollo Bay is beautiful. I had lunch at Apollo Bay, which offered a seafood platter with classic fish and chips. The price was reasonable, and the portion was large. 📌 Find wild koalas I went to the Koala Cafe, but due to the long wait for the helicopter, the cafe was closed. I didn't find any wild koalas on the original path. After some inquiries, the driver finally found koalas on another road. I also saw an unknown Australian bird that could eat French fries. 📌 Lorne Town It was late that day, so I went to the Lorne Town Observation Deck and took some photos. The atmosphere was great! 📌 Great Ocean Road Sign On the way back to the city, I also checked in at the Great Ocean Road sign. Note: The Twelve Apostles is the farthest from the city, and the rest are closer to the city. 📌 Little Red Riding Hood Lighthouse The official name is Split Point Lighthouse, a landmark on the Great Ocean Road. You can climb the tower from 10 am to 4 pm. But it was already 8:30 pm that day, and I caught the sunset. The sea breeze and sunset were full of freedom, and I took another photo of the bay. Returned to the city at 10:40 pm.
