3-Day Great Ocean Road and Grampians Tour from Melbourne

3 Reviews

3 days

Overview

This 3-day trip from Melbourne combines two very different parts of Victoria in one itinerary: the changing coastal scenery of the Great Ocean Road and the quieter mountain landscapes of the Grampians. It is run as a micro-group with a maximum of eight guests, so it is more intimate and slower-paced than a big coach tour. Accommodation, national park fees and hotel pickup and drop-off are included, which makes the logistics straightforward. At AUD $2400, this sits firmly in the premium bracket, but it suits travellers who want a small-group format, included stays and a more comfortable way to cover both regions.

Free cancellation

If you cancel at least 6 full day(s) before the scheduled departure time, you will receive a full refund. If you cancel between 2 and 6 day(s) before the scheduled departure time, you will receive a 50% refund. If you cancel within 2 day(s) of the scheduled departure, you will receive a 0% refund.

Why backpackers love it

The big draw here is convenience: transport, accommodation, park fees and Melbourne transfers are sorted, so you can cover a lot without planning each stop yourself. The eight-person group size also means a less crowded, more social setup than a large bus tour. It is not a budget option, but if you are short on time and want to see both the coast and the mountains in one go, it offers an easy, comfortable way to do it.

What to expect

The tour starts in Melbourne and travels along the Great Ocean Road for the first day and a half, with a guide sharing commentary on the route, local history and stories of shipwrecks and explorers, including artefacts from Loch Ard. After the coast, the trip heads north into the Grampians, where the atmosphere shifts to mountain views, walking opportunities and places connected to Aboriginal culture and rock art. Transport is by air-conditioned minivan, and the package includes two nights of accommodation. The trip runs in all weather, so bring clothing that works for changing conditions.
