Swimming with Dolphins

The swimming tours take place in Torquay between October to April when sightings are more prevalent. The dolphin swim is also popular with travellers staying in Melbourne as it is convieniently located just an hour and a quarter's drive away from the city centre.
Kayaking with Platypus
These unique egg-laying mammals are indigenous to the freshwater lakes of Australia and Tasmania, where they can often be seen in abundance.Located within the Otways National Park, Lake Elizabeth is the best place in the world to see platypuses in the wild. Visitors travelling the Great Ocean Road Australia who long to get close to these enigmatic mammals can choose from two seperate excursions run by Otways Eco Tours.
Between dusk and dawn when the platypuses are at the most playful, guests can take a shorter four hour tour. Your knowledgeable tour guide will regale you with interesting platypus related facts, such as the fact that platypuses carry spurs on their feet that are poisonous to humans. A hearty Australian breakfast and a look at one of the Otways' spectacular waterfalls is also included on this tour. The longer tour takes seven hours and also covers the scenic areas of Lorne and Apollo Bay.
