Great Ocean Road

Activities in Great Ocean Road

  1. Glenelg River Cruises

    Cruises depart Nelson daily (except Thursday and Monday) at 1pm for a leisurely 3½-hour cruise to the Princess Margaret Rose Cave, but tickets for the cave tour cost extra. If you travel to the cave on your own, it's about 17km from Nelson, towards the border.

  2. Otway Fly

    Deep in the rainforest north of the Great Ocean Road (take the turn-off towards Lavers Hill), the Otway Fly is a 25m-high elevated tree-top walk. The views of the forest canopy are wonderful and you can go even higher by ascending the spiral staircase to the 47m-high lookout tower. There’s a visitor centre and cafe.
