Head to Australia for a spectacular gravel riding tour of the world famous Great Ocean Road region in Victoria this March 12-17, 2024
This all inclusive 6 day tour will see you riding champagne gravel roads through the beautiful Australian wilderness, beside iconic beaches and remote light houses in a fully escorted and guided environment. You’ll pedal through the largely undiscovered heart of the Otways National Park, and you’ll see, feel, taste and marvel at the best this area has to offer.
Daily distances vary between 60km and 110km with the option to ride longer or shorter depending on your fitness, and then relax in boutique 4.5 star accommodation with locally sourced food and wine.
Gravel Tour Highlights
- Stunning landscapes and “natural wonders” at every turn – like the towering mountain ash, The 12 Apostles, the rugged coastline of Johanna, Triplet Falls, Cape Otway lighthouse, the wildflower heath… the list goes on and on.
- QUIET roads. You’ll be hard pressed to find a car on the gravel sections of this trip.
- Close encounters with local wildlife – we’re very likely to see koalas, yellow-tail-black cockatoos, echidnas, wallabys, kangaroos, platypus (and more).
- Ride fast (30km/h+) – OR – slow (<15km/h) – OR – anywhere in-between. We’ll make sure you get the riding experience you’re after (and won’t leave you riding alone!).
- Tailor your daily distance to suit your endurance You can cut any day short and be shuttled to accommodation. Or do “extras” if you’re a sucker for suffering. We’ll support you either way.
- All logistics, safety & mechanical support done for you – just turn up and push the pedals!
- Nourishing & healthy “family-style” meals for breakfast, lunch & dinner (we aim to tickle your tastebuds with local food while fuelling big days in the saddle.)

- Local trip leaders and guides who know the area backwards – these are ‘our’ roads, we ride them daily, and we can’t wait to share them with you.
