Route – Torquay to Apollo Bay. Distance – 95 kilometres. Driving Time – 1 hour, 45 minutes. Today, drive the most dramatic section of the Great Ocean Road, from Torquay to Apollo Bay. The total driving time today is less than 2 hours, giving you plenty of time to visit several of the attractions along the way.
