The ultimate discovery of Victoria’s breathtaking coastlines — there’s one famous attraction after another on this coastal, peninsula and island tour. Journey inland directly to the Port Campbell National Park & be amazed by the iconic rock formations found along this part of the coast. Wonder at the stunning 12 Apostles & descend the Gibson Steps where you will be dwarfed by the towering cliffs and the enormous offshore stacks. Hear the tragic story of the shipwrecked Loch Ard at the spectacular Loch Ard Gorge, before continuing on through the lush Otway Ranges to explore the cool temperate rainforest & see some of Australia’s tallest eucalypts. Journey along the Mornington Peninsula, playground of the rich and famous in Victoria, before arriving at Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park. Take this opportunity to get up close and person with some of Australia's most famous animals and even hand-feed Kangaroos! End your discovery of Victoria's top attractions with a visit to the world-famous Penguin Parade. Watch as these adorable little creatures waddle ashore after a hard days fishing and settle in for the night.
