About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, to the real Split Point Lighthouse, Great Otway National Park koalas, and the genuine Twelve Apostles, with an optional helicopter add-on. This is a private tour for your group only. Real stops include Split Point Lighthouse, Great Otway National Park's genuine koalas, and the Twelve Apostles, with a real optional helicopter add-on.

Split Point Lighthouse, one of the first stops on this route through Aireys Inlet, was built in 1891 under its original name, Eagles Nest Point, to guide ships through one of the most dangerous stretches of coastline in Australia — the roughly 800 kilometres between Wilsons Promontory and the South Australian border claimed dozens of vessels through the 19th century. The tower ran on acetylene gas from 1919 and wasn't switched to electric power until 1972. Locally it's also known for a lighter claim to fame: the exterior of the tower doubled as the fictional lighthouse in the Australian children's series Round the Twist, though only the outside was ever used for filming.

Further along the route, Great Otway National Park is home to one of Australia's genuine wild koala conservation success stories. In 1981, 75 koalas were relocated to Cape Otway from French Island as a founding population for the area, and the colony has thrived ever since thanks to abundant manna gum and blue gum, a mild climate, and an absence of natural predators — by the early 2010s, densities in some pockets had actually climbed well above what ecologists consider sustainable. Because the sightings are wild and seasonal rather than guaranteed, your guide tailors the stop based on recent reports rather than a fixed script, which is part of what makes a private, customised itinerary worth having here.

The drive's centrepiece, the Twelve Apostles, is a cluster of limestone stacks carved from the mainland cliffs by thousands of years of Southern Ocean swell. The formation never actually held twelve stacks at once — it was known locally as the Sow and Piglets before being rebranded for tourism in the 1950s, when only around nine remained — and today just seven are still standing after stacks collapsed in 2005 and again in 2009. For travellers who add the optional helicopter flight, seeing the full run of cliffs, sea caves and remaining stacks from the air gives a genuinely different sense of scale than any clifftop lookout can.
