WHAT TO DO FROM MELBOURNE
Melbourne is only the start. Some of Victoria’s best experiences are within easy reach of the city, making it a great base for day trips and short adventures.
Drive the Great Ocean Road and see the Twelve Apostles, head to Phillip Island for its famous penguins, explore Victoria’s coastline and wildlife, or stay closer to the city for Melbourne’s food, culture and nightlife.
Where to Stay
For backpackers and budget travellers, Melbourne offers an incredible range of accommodation — from lively hostels with social vibes to affordable boutique hotels. Staying here means you’re never far from the action — whether it’s a music festival, a late-night food crawl, or a casual meetup with fellow travellers.
GREAT OCEAN ROAD OR PHILLIP ISLAND?
Short on time? The Great Ocean Road is the classic choice for dramatic coastline, beaches and the Twelve Apostles. Phillip Island is better if wildlife and the Penguin Parade are higher on your list.
Got time for both? Even better. Send TRU your dates and we can help you work out what fits your East Coast itinerary.
Eat, Drink, Connect
Melbourne is famous for its coffee, food, laneways and nightlife. Explore hidden bars, local markets and neighbourhoods such as Fitzroy and St Kilda, or simply grab a coffee and see where the city takes you

HOW MUCH DO MELBOURNE TOURS COST?
Melbourne tour prices vary depending on the destination, trip length and what’s included. Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island day trips can vary considerably between operators, even when the itinerary looks similar.
Before booking, compare the total price, inclusions, pickup locations and trip length — not just the headline price. Already found a tour online? TRU Check it and we’ll see if we can beat the price or offer better value.
IS THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD WORTH IT?
Yes — if you’re travelling Australia’s East Coast, the Great Ocean Road is one of Victoria’s standout trips. Expect dramatic coastline, beaches, rainforest and the Twelve Apostles. A day tour works well if you’re short on time, while longer trips give you more time to explore.
