Geelong is the second largest city in Victoria, Australia, offering a gateway to some of the most scenic road trips in the country, including the Great Ocean Road and the Bellarine Peninsula. While in town, be sure to catch a game of Aussie Rules (AFL) to cheer on the mighty Cats, an atmosphere that can’t be beaten. Or, why not take in the view from above on the largest Ferris wheel in the Southern Hemisphere, the Giant Sky Wheel?
There are three main transportation options from Melbourne Tullamarine Airport to Geelong; taxi or private transfer, a direct bus, and a combined shuttle bus and train journey. The taxi and private transfer options are both the quickest and most convenient options with a journey time of a little over an hour. The direct bus is the quickest and most comfortable of the public transport options and takes around 70 minutes, however, it doesn’t run very frequently so it isn’t the best choice for anyone wanting to get to their destination as quickly as possible. The most affordable but also the longest option is to take the airport SkyBus Express bus to the city centre where you can then connect with a train to Geelong; this combined trip would take around 1 hour and 35 minutes, not including any wait times.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Melbourne at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
