Meet the Twelve Apostles

Posted by Jen as Air Travel, Australia NZ, Destinations, Getaways, Travelogger

Mentioned in the Bible are the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. However, mentioned in Australian itinerary are twelve apostles of a different kind.

The Twelve Apostles of Australia are actually rock formations standing majestically on the coast of the Southern Ocean. They are a sight to behold especially during dusk and dawn when the rocks change colors from dark to yellow, depending on the angle the sun’s rays spread themselves. Couples would definitely enjoy the peace and serenity of this place. However, aside from basking in the scenic and romantic setting of the beach, there are many more activities in Twelve Apostles that are just waiting to be experienced.

A more striking view of the rock formations would be from the air. Camera shots will greatly benefit from this ride. Great Ocean Tour Helicopters, the largest aerial tour operator on the Shipwreck Coast, is the perfect place to go to for such an adventure. Their helipad is located just at the end of the Twelve Apostles Center on the Great Ocean Road. The best thing about this aerial tour (aside from the unrivaled view) is that the pilots actually provide interesting historical details during the trip.

Scenic boat trips are also a good option. These trips provide a different and more close-up perspective of the Twelve Apostles. Couples would absolutely love the sunset boat trips. Scuba diving and snorkeling activities are also permitted in the Twelve Apostles Marine National Park.
