What our travellers think of their stay

My suggestion

If you're there during winter or spring, you may be able to spot southern right whales that come to breed in the bay.

My suggestion

For thrill seekers, go and surf the waves along the entire coast of Apollo Bay. For the less adventurous, put on your walking boots and hike part of the Great Ocean Walk, in the direction of Shelly Beach.
