Private journeys. Exceptional places. Genuine local insight.
Discover the Great Ocean Road and Victoria’s Great Southern region beyond the usual tourist trail
Great Southern Luxe Explorer creates private and personalised journeys for guests seeking a deeper connection with the landscapes, wildlife, culture and people of Victoria’s Great Southern region.
Based on the Great Ocean Road, your local guide brings personal knowledge, genuine connections and a different perspective on the places you visit — from celebrated landmarks to the quieter roads and lesser-known places beyond them.
From the dramatic coastline of the Great Ocean Road and the Twelve Apostles, to the ancient forests of the Otways, the living cultural landscape of Budj Bim and the rugged grandeur of the Grampians (Gariwerd), this is a region of extraordinary diversity.
