    Gorgeous! Simply stunning. Lucky the weather good and I got to enjoy these magnificent views. Totally worth the long hours of travelling here. There was a helicopter ride available at AUD160. Did not try that out, maybe I might come back and try it out for a different perspective and view in future. Lovely sun set views.

    Port Campbell National Park is located along the famous Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Renowned for its stunning coastal scenery, the park is home to iconic landmarks such as the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and the London Arch. The rugged cliffs, rock formations, and pristine beaches make it a popular destination for nature lovers and tourists.

    Must must see when driving along the Great Ocean Road ๐Ÿ’ž I suggest going towards sunset, even more amazing looking and way less crowded in high season. You basically will be there all by yourself. Take the Gibson Steps down and walk on some of the softest sand you'll ever find. You can grab a helicopter ride as well and see it from a completely different perspective.

    It's really a wonderful piece of paradise indeed. The facilities are clean n the coffee shop just adequate to allow you more than ample time to enjoy the beauty there whilst u grab a bite on the run. So worth the long drive! There are helicopter flights as well that you can nook to enjoy the coast even more.

    Very pretty when the weather is right!!! If you are visiting 12 apostles, then you should definitely stop by here and enjoy the views. Meantime, take some photos. There are wild animals like snakes in the bushes, so be careful. When I visited here did see a lizard of some sort.

    A huge area to walk round steeped in history with lots of walking trails. You can go round the park past the cemetery or take a long walk to thunder cave. Or down the steps to the beach to the cave where a damsal was rescued in an infamous story. Lots of information boards and look out for wildlife crisscrossing the paths. Only wish I had more time. Nature at its finest and the views into the strait between Australia and Tasmania are brilliant.

    What an amazing area of the world. Spectacular views and coastline in every direction, and surprisingly also had some picturesque forests in the area. Extremely busy area during the school holiday period. Good food and good atmosphere in the small towns dotting the coast.

    Forming the first sightseeing stop inย Port Campbell National Park, one of the major attractions on the 250 kilometre coastal road, the Gibson Steps are just minutes away from the world-famousย Twelve Apostlesย site. Until The Grotto, you'll see a lot breath taking attractions, including Loch Ard, Razorback, London Bridge... ,

    Beautiful. Being from Canada I know all about the California Redwoods. I was there in the mid 80's. These are not as big but they are still beautiful.

  • 5/5 Margaret A. 3 months ago on Google โ€ข 94 reviews New
    Being a Victorian, I have visited The Twelve Apostles many many times over the past 60+ years & have always enjoyed the natural beauty of this stunning scenery. It does not matter what the weather is like, it is always a beautiful place to visit.

  • 3/5 Caitlin 7 months ago on Google โ€ข 88 reviews
    Only about 3 - 5 apostles left but still stunning on a good day. The Visitor Centre was closed, the toilets were dirty, and staff seemed to care less. It's definitely only worth a 2 minute stop off while passing through. Beautiful but could be so much better.

  • 5/5 Chinthaka G. 11 months ago on Google
    Another great park in Victoria with lots of beautiful places to visit. 12 apostles is the most amazing attraction here. Other attractions such as Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge, etc are also beautiful and unique. There are many trails and common facilities built on this park and maintained.

    Beautiful place to spend some time with friends and family. No toilet at the spot but in the parking area. Open place without any shades. Never forget to capture photos and videos.

  • 5/5 Jay Roams T. 11 months ago on Google
    Incredible views of the Twelve Apostles in this park right here. There's a nice walk from the car park area to the viewing platform. The toilets are okay and plenty of parking avaliable. There's a small gift shop with souvenirs snacks but no cash accepted (not convenient for tourists). Overall worth the drive down.

  • 5/5 Harrison H. 2 years ago on Google
    Port Campbell is a massive park that encompasses the Twelve Apostles, the London Arch, Loch Ard Gorge, the Gibson Steps and the Grotto. All of these attractions are easily navigable, well organised and worth visiting. These sites are all solid 4 or 5 star attractions, which makes the park itself an easy 5 stars. It's probably one of the coolest places I've been too in Australia.

    Beautiful place. Make sure you stop at the parking lot before the visitor centre and walk down to the beach. Much nicer place for photos than just from the top walks.

    I would say this is one of Victoria spectacular coastal towns. Caugh up with some local surfers pointing out one of the best places to get your feet wet, friendly and great place to relax.

    Driving back along part of the Great Ocean Road, in an endeavour to see the 12 Apostles... but had no idea just how insane the peak viewing season was (as I've never been before)... drove straight past all the popular viewing platforms and found a wonderful place, windy, but still serene...and only 1 other couple there at the same time. Stunning view!! Sorry about the wind in the videos ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜ƒ

  • 5/5 Nantakan S. 6 months ago on Google โ€ข 7 reviews
    We stayed in Studio type room, very nice and clean, have a lot of amenities including hair-dryer and iron. With cooking shared facilities outside. We arrived late and got the key from safe box and it was difficult to find the room by ourselves in the dark, so we advise you to be there early or at least talk to the staff before 6pm. Another thing I love is there will be Wilde rabbits running around at night and morning, so cute!

  • 5/5 jennifer b. 1 year ago on Google
    Great viewing of what is left of 12 apostles. Helicopter tours available, quite pricey. Centre staff not helpful, toilets clean. Watch out for tiger snakes, as the warning signs are plentiful.

    Beautiful place to visit and I have been here a few times over the years, but this time was very busy (avoid during weekends) and some areas were closed due to maintenance.

  • 4/5 Food D. 6 months ago on Google
    This is one of the world's most scenic drives โ€“ and its undoubted highlight is the Twelve Apostles, which tower 45 metres above the Southern Ocean. Itโ€™s a great beautiful place to visit since itโ€™s on the great ocean road. Port Campbell National Park is open to the public all year with free admission. Most of the park consists of natural landmarks that are free to drive up to and enjoy the sights. The park is one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations since it's located along the Great Ocean Road. I visited during my tour to the great ocean road. Wonderful place to stay as well. Victoria's Great Ocean Road is famous for its gorgeous beaches, lush rainforests and world class surf. ... The 12 Apostles. ... The Loch Ard Gorge. ... The London Arch. ... The Grotto.

    What is say about this place? Wordless! About living creatures there is a thin line between life and death for the flora and fauna that is the park shelters - caught between land and sea. Give your time to the Mother Earth

  • 5/5 prasad n. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome breathtaking scenic beauty ! No words to describe the natures wonder. 4300 Acres spread park is about 200 Km from Melbourne. The Park offers the beauty of infinite sheer cliffs, arches, gorges etc. originated naturally. Major tourist attractions are The Twelve Apostles and the London Bridge.

  • 5/5 Ian J. 6 months ago on Google
    Is the main sight to see the 12 Apostles, or the hordes of tourists getting in your way for their selfie moment? Time it wrong (which means any time that the sun is up) and you'll need to (politely) make your way through throngs of persons, all there for their "me' moment. I was sorely tempted to bring two selfie sticks in parody. And wear a dress ๐Ÿ˜‚

  • 5/5 Peiching K. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning view of 12 apostles, there was an upgrade work ongoing at the moment, however the view is undistrupted.

  • 5/5 Kym P. 8 months ago on Google
    Windy, wet but absolutely beautiful! That's a winter visit to the coast in Victoria. Well worth the weekend getaway for the scenery and rugged coastline.

  • 5/5 Kailaash .. 1 year ago on Google
    A must see place in the great Ocean drive, don't know how many years the structures are gonna be the same. They are getting eroded by the strong current of the arctic ocean.

  • 5/5 Christian B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to visit. My partner had never been to Australia before, she's from the Philippines, so I took her on a guided tour of the area. She absolutely loved it and driving that little bit further is always worth it to see totally unspoiled coastline without all the tourists!

  • 5/5 Khush 11 months ago on Google
    Around 3hrs drive from Melbourne CBD, this place is a must visit. We took the Warnambool and Apollo bay route which was along the coastline and very scenic. We went on a rainy day morning to see sunrise. There was no one. It was extremely windy and cold but everything worth the view. Extremely serene. Lot of parking space available. There are a few snakes around - be careful. There are only 7 apostles visible due to erosion.

  • 5/5 Mehnaz F. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sidhesh G. 9 months ago on Google
    Very good views of the twelve apostles. Itโ€™s generally windy here so itโ€™s advisable to wear some warm clothing. Also snakes are sometimes seen on the paths. However the views are fantastic.

  • 5/5 Victoria S. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing, breathtakingly beautiful place. This is a must see on a trip to Melbourne. Take a GoWest Tour they are fantastic. Do all 3 walks even if it's raining. So stunning.
