Your journey along the scenic Great Ocean Road traverses World Heritage listed rainforest, and skirts untouched coastal coves. Stop at the Mediterranean-inspired, quaint seaside villages.

Emus and koalas... these are just a couple of the animals you’ll likely see as you drive through Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve - housed in a dormant volcanic crater. This pocket of paradise was once wasteland, transformed by volunteers. Then, cross the South Australia border to Mt. Gambier, home to the crater-filling Blue Lake. Your next stop is the celebrated wine-making region of Coonawarra, where you’ll join a Local Specialist for a tasting at a local winery. Indulge in the full-bodied, fruity flavours in the region’s signature Cabernet Sauvignon wines produced on its ’terra rossa’ soil and learn how the region played a leading role in Australia’s wine industry since the 1890s. Continue your journey to the Naracoorte Caves, a World Heritage site, where you’ll be taken on a guided tour with a Local Specialist through Alexandra Cave, its crown jewel which was discovered in 1908.

This afternoon, board your ferry at Cape Jervis and cross to Kangaroo Island, where pristine beaches and abundant wildlife wait to be discovered.
