Australia’s Twelve Apostles will require advance bookings and fees starting late 2026 to manage crowds and protect the site.

Starting in late 2026, visitors to Australia’s Twelve Apostles will need to pay an entry fee and book visits in advance for the first time, as part of a $126 million visitor centre project. The move, announced by the Victorian government, aims to manage crowds, ensure parking availability, and improve the visitor experience. Locals and members of the Eastern Maar Indigenous community will be exempt. The exact fee amount has not yet been set.
