Tourist trap!
Stay away! We booked an English-guided day tour and ended up sitting in a bus filled to the brim with Mandarin-speaking tourists. The guide tried very hard, but even with him, conversation was difficult. Instead, we were referred to a website with a second-rate audio guide. Anyone who has ever been to the Algarve can easily do without the 12 Apostles. It is the much smaller, boring, and mercilessly overcrowded version of it. A crush! And you constantly have to be on your guard not to get hit by the next selfie stick... We didn't see any koalas (the sighting, by the way, consisted of a 5-minute bus break at a random roadside) and our mention that we saw a koala sitting in the trees about 500m before the stop was ignored (or simply not understood). Kangaroos could be seen. Far, far away. And fenced in. So that needs no further words... Lunch in Apollo Bay was like one of the ten biblical plagues: hundreds of tourists descended on the local cafés and bars at the same time, littered everything, and left the waiters helpless and exhausted. Insane! Dear people - do yourselves a favor and skip this "excursion": the best part of our day was the hours of bus travel - at least you could read in peace there... as long as you were able to tune out the Mandarin from the speakers... If you want to make your way to the Apostles, rent a car for the same (or less) money and head out on your own. This excursion doesn't even deserve a single star. We have traveled a lot - but this.. We have never experienced THAT before..

Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc cost?
+
Prices start at $67 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 Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (1/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc?
+
Around 0 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc 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 From Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Cider & Chocolate tour, Melbourne: Epic Yarra Valley Wine Tour & Lunch - Gin/Beer Upgrade, 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.
What is included in Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc offered in?
+
It is offered in Chinese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Great Ocean scenic Drive | 12 apostles Full Day Tour all fees inc wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
