Thrill seekers look no further than Treetops Adventure in Yeodene. Feel the adrenaline pumping through your veins as you soar through the messmate trees of the Otways.
Towering atop the 90-metre cliffs of Cape Otway stands one of the most significant lighthouses in all of Australia. Feel the wind on your face as you step out onto the balcony and don’t forget to keep an eye out for passing whales!
Budj Bim Cultural Landscape is the first ever UNESCO world heritage listing for a cultural site that was sought by the traditional owners.
Budj Bim Cultural Landscape is home to the Gunditjmara people and is known for the lava canals, lakes and land that allowed the Gunditjmara people to create aquaculture systems for trapping eels and fish to create a sustainable food source, on which they have lived and traded for many centuries.
Marvel at the iconic 12 Apostles from a new perspective with a scenic flight from 12 Apostles Helicopters. A truly breathtaking and bucket-list worthy activity not to be missed.
Zipline, roller coast, climb, explore or wander through this supercharged adventure park. Adrenaline junkies will feel right at home discovering Australia’s most extreme zipline.
Quite literally discover the wild side of the Great Ocean Road at Wildlife Wonders. Immerse yourself in a guided tour through the wildlife sanctuary experiencing some unique Greatopian highlights.

Is mountain biking more your vibe? Look no further than Forrest MTB Hire. Forrest is considered one of Australia’s top mountain biking destinations with trails catering to beginners as well as the more dedicated dirt diehards.
Active adventure for the luxury lover? How does a multi-day passage from Castle Cove to the 12 Apostles with overnight stays in eco-lodges complete with rainforest showers, comfy beds and foot spas sound? Perfect. We thought so too.
Coast through the 12 Apostles Hinterland on a brand new e-bike from Ride With Us. The Camperdown to Timboon rail trail is a must and if you book a Gourmet Rail Trail Ride with a produce hamper or a backpack of snacks you can make a day out of it.
