About this experience
Escape the crowds and experience the spectacular scenery and sunset over the Great Ocean Road on this small group tour.

Along the way you will see pristine beaches, pass through idyllic seaside villages and stop to look for some of Australia’s iconic wildlife like wild koalas and colourful parrots. Discover the Shipwreck Coast, stroll along the historic beaches and see Loch Ard Gorge.

Solo Traveller to Twelve Apostles with Go West
The experience was marvellous from the pick-up area till dropped off. To summarise, the tour was pretty awesome and was amazing but couldn’t be that good without our tour guide Sophia, she’s so positive and highly friendly, she made the experience unforgettable and extra ordinary. The energy she brought to the table was extra special. She got so many stories to tell and the positivity was contagious. The group was fun to be with and I met some new people from different background. I loved how engaging Sophia with the group and even help us out with photo taking especially for a solo traveller like me. The recommendation of the foods and restaurants was genuine. There is no dull moment in our trip except the time when we are heading back to CBD coz everyone were knackered. Highly recommended this trip and the tour guide, she’s had the biggest part why this trip was amazing. I reckon 5 star ⭐️ is not enough to justify the service they did. PS. I loved the free chocolate and Muffins
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! Reading this really made us smile. We're so happy to hear you had such a memorable day on the Great Ocean Road Sunset Tour with Sophia. It’s wonderful to know her positivity, energy and storytelling helped make the experience so special. We also love hearing that you connected with other travellers along the way—that's one of the best parts of small group touring. And as a solo traveller, we're especially glad you felt included and well looked after throughout the day. We're sure Sophia will love reading your kind words. And we're so glad the morning muffins and hot chocolate were a hit too! 😊 Thank you again for choosing Bunyip Tours and for taking the time to share your experience. We really appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back for another adventure the next time you're in Melbourne!

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Sunset Tour from Melbourne: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Sunset Tour from Melbourne cost?
+
Prices start at $101 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Sunset Tour from Melbourne take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.
Is Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Sunset Tour from Melbourne worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 446 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Sunset Tour from Melbourne?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Sunset Tour from Melbourne suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Sunset Tour from Melbourne?
+
Around 156 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Great Ocean Road and 12 Apostles Sunset Tour from Melbourne start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Melbourne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
