The Great Ocean Road
We travel along this scenic road
180 minutes here
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.

Excellent Tour and superb guide!
Our tour with Peter was amazing. We got to hit everything we asked him for and more. He was so patient and willing to accommodate anything we asked for and is also just a great person to talk to during the driving portions. He is very knowledgeable about the area and Australia in general and we learned so much from him. The Tour was structured so well that there was never too much time between stops and such beautiful scenery and wildlife to see. I could not recommend this tour higher!

Exceptional day out in Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road!
Peter, our guide, was a true professional and excellent ambassador for this tour company. Friendly, well informed, and warm - really was the highlight of my trip. He even took us to see koalas and kangaroos in locations we saw no other tour groups. A+. Kudos!

Great Ocean Road experience was better than great!
Lovely experience! Peter was a fabulous guide. He managed to get the right mix of informative, helpful and fun while also giving some space to just enjoy things at one’s own pace. The koalas and kangaroos were an unexpected highlight and all the stops, views and background story, history and facts were much appreciated. Thanks Peter!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear your Great Ocean Road experience was "better than great!" Peter will be delighted to know he struck the perfect balance of sharing local knowledge while giving you the freedom to enjoy each stop at your own pace. Spotting wild koalas and kangaroos is always a special bonus, and we're so pleased they became one of the highlights of your day. Thank you for choosing us for your Great Ocean Road adventure. We hope to welcome you back to explore more of Victoria's beautiful destinations in the future!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1057 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 Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 94 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 Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour?
+
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 Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour?
+
Around 33 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private and Customised Great Ocean Road and Luxury Tour 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.
