Should a family take a Great Ocean Road coach tour or hire a private driver?

If you can spare a night, an overnight trip is much less rushed than either day option. Check weather and road alerts close to departure.

A private driver costs more but can set breaks around your family and choose a few priorities. Ask for the full itinerary, vehicle size and return time before paying.

A group coach is usually simpler and cheaper, but read the actual stops and time at the Twelve Apostles. One day involves many hours on the road.
