I had the best time on the Great Ocean Walk! The walk was incredibly beautiful, the accommodation and staff were lovely and very well organised by Stroll!
With its breathtaking coastal scenery, magnificent forests, abundant wildlife, and sheer diversity of landscape, the Great Ocean Walk is one of Australia’s most iconic walks.
Walk the 104km Great Ocean Walk track from end to end as it meanders its way through manna gums with koalas only a few steps away, to traversing massive sea cliffs that have made this location famous.
A local shipwreck historian will give incredible insight into the local shipwreck history. One of the most fascinating stops along the Great Ocean Walk is the geological formations and shipwreck of Loch Ard Gorge.
We move you along the coast staying in excellent accommodation as we go. We take care of every last detail and with 2 expert and very experienced guides looking after you, you can pace yourself and with options to shorten the walk if you prefer.
We provide very comfortable ensuite rooms for the 6 nights of this holiday. We stay 2 nights in Apollo Bay right on the foreshore. The hotel has all the modern conveniences you’d expect and we make sure there’s enough time to explore this very lovely quaint seaside town.
We then move from Apollo Bay to Cape Otway into modern ensuite cabins. The property is expansive, and you are once again free to roam (on select departures the accommodation may be the same as night 2 or 5).
The last two nights are spent at Port Campbell in private rooms with ensuites. Port Campbell is a gorgeous little town and a great place to swim. It is one of the rare places along the coast where there is a break in the cliffs and where you can sit on the beach or swim safely. There are limited single rooms available on this walk so please speak to the office if you need one.
By shifting along the track from accommodation to accommodation we greatly reduce the time spent in a vehicle each day. It is up to a two-hour drive from one end of the track to the other.
We provide healthy and delicious food for breakfast and dinner, including a la carte meals on most nights.
The comprehensive lunches are taken in cafes for four of the mornings and the remainder laid out in the morning by our guides. The local cafes are excellent and the local restaurants we dine in at are all of good quality.
We take great care to ensure that our walkers are always well fed and of course ensure that you remain hydrated throughout the day. Please bring at least 2 water bottles.
The trip starts and finishes in Melbourne. Most walks range from 18-22 km on well-formed tracks with a few short beach sections. Whilst the walking is mainly easy to moderate, there are a few steep hills making it tiring in some places. Those that want to walk the whole track will be able to do so. This trip operates with two professional guides ensuring that you have both a safe and enjoyable walking holiday. Knowledgeable of the region and specific area, they can offer easier and harder walk options along the way. Please contact the office if you need further advice, or if you wish you can speak with one of our guides.
Alcohol or drinks with meals are not included (except tea/coffee and juice with breakfast).
For what to bring please refer to the Gear Advice on our FAQ section.
Our pick up location for this trip is the Mercure Southbank, 9 Riverside Quay, Southbank, Melbourne, with an early departure of 8:30 am (we request you be there by 8.15 am). It would be beneficial to stay near here as it is near everything. There are many options, however, we can also recommend the nearby Quay West Suites, or the DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel Melbourne.
We arrive back in Melbourne on the last day at approximately 4.30 pm.
We only offer this holiday during the very best periods to walk, autumn and spring, when daily temperatures are usually mild. It can sometimes still be quite warm, too hot on occasions but there is usually an opportunity for a refreshing swim. See the Bureau of Meteorology for information about temperatures and rainfall ahead of time to ensure proper clothing.

For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.

You will receive a very detailed information pack and itinerary approximately 6 weeks out from departure outlining all the fine detail and much more.

I had the best time on the Great Ocean Walk! The walk was incredibly beautiful, the accommodation and staff were lovely and very well organised by Stroll!

We were so glad we arranged this walking holiday with STROLL as the attention to detail in the planning, communication, walking note booklets, booking summary and the app were excellent. All we really had to do was walk and enjoy ourselves. It was everything we’d hoped it would be and we look forward to planning more such walks.

I have just spent the best week walking the Great Ocean Walk with Stroll. The scenery was everchanging & spectacular. The walk itself was challenging in parts but for the most pretty easy going. We fluked fantastic weather for the time of year which made for a pleasant walking experience. There was so much food I don’t think I lost any weight despite walking every day. The food & accommodation was excellent – you did not need to spend any money on the trip, apart from drinks, as everything was provided. We are already looking at where our next Stroll trip might be. Thanks Lee & Bec for a fantastic week.
Trish W
The Great Ocean Walk is amazing. Having Stroll organise everything from start to finish without a hiccup makes it a pleasure. The accommodation, food and guides could not be faulted.
Thank you
Terri S
Fantastic, from beginning to end, and all the echidna and koalas on the way

We would like to say what a delightful group of people you have that looked after us. Apollo Bay Taxis were on time every time. They went above and beyond especially when Marions walking boots fell apart and had to be replaced. Thank you Vanessa, Colin and Sue.
Chi Farm (WOW). Magnificent fresh healthy food, and so much of it. I think we both had put on weight by the end of the walk. Thank you Jodie and Shane.
Cafe 153, Waves and Des at Portside Motel thank you all for making us so welcome.
It was obvious to us that they all highly value their relationship with Stroll, and this made the walk a thoroughly enjoyable experience for us.
