Animal Encounter Southbank

Experience the Great Ocean Road like a local as you enjoy delicious food, wildlife encounters, and spectacular sightseeing opportunities; all led by your engaging, local guide, and with the comfort of your Premium Seating ticket on board.
Departing from Melbourne, your adventure begins with a visit to the must-have photo op at the Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway before embarking on one of the most spectacular coastal drives in the world, with glistening waters, golden beaches, and stunning horizons. Explore the idyllic village of Lorne, then drive through the towering trees of the Otway Rainforest. Get up close with kangaroos, emus, and other Australian animals at the Great Ocean Road Wildlife Park, and enjoy an organically sourced meal. Marvel at the majesty of the Shipwreck Coast, including Loch Ard Gorge, and witness the mighty 12 Apostles as the sun sets.
During the Summer months, travellers will have the chance to get their own dinner from the coastal township of Port Campbell prior to heading to the 12 Apostles. Throughout the Winter, we will make a stop in Colac, a quaint farming township, on the way back to Melbourne.
