Itinerary

Approximately 3 hours walking

The adventure begins as you meet your guides and fellow travellers in Melbourne. From there, we embark on a road trip filled with anticipation. Our first stop is Apollo Bay, where we pick up fresh crayfish for our evening meal, setting the stage for a culinary adventure like no other. 

The day's walk takes you through some of the most scenic sections of the Great Ocean Walk. From the majestic cliffs overlooking the sea to the pristine sandy beaches and the iconic Cape Otway Lighthouse, you'll be captivated by the beauty of your surroundings. As you walk, breathe in the fresh ocean air and savour the feeling of being truly immersed in nature. 

On the morning of your walk, we meet at Mecure, Southbank (9 Riverside Quay, Southbank VIC 3000). Here, your guide will introduce you to fellow walkers before departing for our drive to Blanket Bay. Be dressed and ready to walk, with your daypack fully packed for the days walk ahead.

Approximately 3.5 hours walking

After a restful night's sleep and a hearty breakfast, we set off on another day of exploration. This time, we meander through native stringybark forest, where the scent of eucalyptus fills the air.   If the tide allows, we descend onto Wreck Beach,a hidden gem that forms part of a treacherous coastline rich in maritime history and responsible for some 180 shipwrecks over the years.. Once the imagination settles, we relax for lunch with a view of the iconic Twelve Apostles - a moment you won't forget. 

Back at our private eco-lodge, you'll have the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate with a soothing foot bath. Sip on bubbles and enjoy canapés before another delicious meal, perfectly complemented by local wines and beers. It's an evening of connection where we share tales of the trails before retiring to comfortable beds for a restful sleep. 

Approximately 3 hours walking

As you savour another wholesome breakfast, the anticipation builds for the final leg of your journey. Today, we head to the Twelve Apostles, a collection of magnificent natural wonders that emerge slowly as the trail rises and falls. You'll know you've reached your destination when you arrive at the exclusive viewing platform reserved for walkers. Take in the breathtaking views and marvel at the sheer beauty of these iconic formations. 

We then move onto a well-deserved lunch in Port Campbell before returning to Melbourne. Your journey along the Great Ocean Road has come full circle, leaving you with memories that will last a lifetime.
