ITINERARY

WHAT’S INCLUDED

  • All inclusive pack free Great Ocean Walk walking holiday (all luggage transfers)
  • Two engaging, knowledgeable and experienced guides
  • Six nights comfortable ensuite accommodation
  • Move along the track from accommodation to accommodation to limit time in a vehicle, creating more time to relax and enjoy the region
  • Daily meals including cooked breakfasts, walkers lunches, two-course dinners and track snacks
  • Tour of lighthouse and national park admission
  • Stroll comprehensive walking notes

ACCOMMODATION & DINING

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.

GENERAL INFO

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.

PICK UP LOCATION AND DROP OFF LOCATION AND TIME

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).

    The Great Ocean Walk has been on my list of Australia walks for a while and I am so glad I have completed it. It was great to be able to walk and then return to a nice accommodation and meal at night rather than camping out. The weather with great not too hot or rainy. I am grateful to have been able to take some lovely photos and short videos of the landscape and wildlife especially the koalas.

    The Great Ocean Walk is fabulous. Scenery was amazing, accommodation brilliant and the Stroll App made navigating simple . The large map gave a good overview and others in our group liked the book for all the info in it of things to look at. The food at both places we stayed was fabulous.

    This is a fabulous walk – such a beautiful coastline and with enough challenges to ensure we felt it was a great achievement when we finished!

    Our recent trip was excellent across the board, from the accommodations to the meals and the guides. Each motel had its own appeal: Lochard boasted spacious rooms, Bimbi Park offered koala spotting from the cabins, and Sandpiper Motel provided a quiet, comfortable stay. All featured comfy beds and hot showers. The flexible meal ordering system was a definite highlight, with Waves in Port Campbell being a particular standout for delicious options. We especially enjoyed creating our own fresh salads with wraps or bread for lunch at Bimbi Park. Our guides were superbly organised, helpful, and informative. Lee, in particular, made the experience even better with his wit and local expertise. We also loved being able to support local businesses, and the thoughtful touches like memorable breaks, the surprise afternoon tea at the end of each day’s walk, and delicious treats throughout truly enhanced our trip. It was a highly recommended experience!

    This is my second walk with Stroll and I have thoroughly enjoyed each walk. It was very professionally organised from booking the walk to actually completing the walk. The accommodation each stay was excellent, the food in restaurants for breakfast and dinner was delicious and the packed lunches were perfect for a walk.
    The scroggan (walking snacks) the guides Katie and Georgie prepared for us each morning was plentiful and catered to all tastes

    The variety of trail surfaces, vegetation types and scenery was better than expected. A big shout out to Katie, Georgie and Naomi who were great: friendly, cheerful, relaxed and very helpful with minor details. Their knowledge of the track was excellent and we enjoyed many informative and sometimes funny stories. Naomi was also easy to relate to and was always on the lookout for ways to be helpful to walkers. She was also great at spotting koalas!

    The Great Ocean Walk is a fantastic way to see this part of Australia. The track is well laid out, and the views of the ocean along the way are amazing. Stroll did a great job organizing this and communicated well with us during the whole booking process.

    I urge anyone who enjoys walking with stunning scenery to do this walk. With medium fitness anyone can do it.
    Strolls attention to detail was immaculate.
    The accommodation picked for us was wonderful and the food amazing. We were never hungry but always excited to see what was on the menu.
    The transfer companies used to transfer us each day were always prompt and really helpful adjusting pickup times.
    The information supplied regarding each day’s itinerary was well delivered and easy to follow.
    Amazing 7 days. Could not fault anything!!!
    Thank you

    I thought the organisation of the walk, all the associated arrangements, accommodation, and transfers, were excellent Your information pack was exemplary and the App was also invaluable and easy to use. As an overseas customer, based in the UK, I found your organisation easy to deal with and you provided a high level of customer care. I would thoroughly recommend Stroll.

    We couldn’t fault any of the experience provided by STROLL, Once we found the path in Apollo Bay, the path was clearly marked all the way , which was perfect for self-guiding. Accommodation was first class, transfers worked perfectly (and we appreciated that the transferer actually put our beer in the fridge so it was cold when we arrived). Meals were outstanding in every case.

  31. Andrea P

    15 January, 2025 at 1:24 AM

    What an amazing week we had on the Great Ocean Walk. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. And the food? I was a bit worried about my food intolerances before the trip, but I needn’t have been – every meal was absolutely delicious, high quality, and carefully catered to my needs. The walk itself was just beautiful – the views of the coast are breathtaking. I particularly appreciated being able to skip a few stages to take it easy on my pre-existing Achilles tendon problems – this flexibility allowed me to enjoy the whole experience without worry. Thank you Stroll for creating such wonderful memories.

  32. David N

    6 January, 2025 at 3:42 AM

    The trip was fantastic , transfers were always on time , col and Venessa made these transfers one of the highlights of the trip , accommodation was good and food was brilliant at chi farm , a seamless trip with a magnificent walk , we saw all the wildlife including koala , echidna , wallaby , kangaroo , deer , fox, black cockatoos , various other birds and yes brown , tiger and black snake ( and they left us alone)

    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.

  36. Trish W

    13 December, 2024 at 3:00 AM

    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.

    The scroggan (walking snacks) the guides Katie and Georgie prepared for us each morning was plentiful and catered to all tastes

    The variety of trail surfaces, vegetation types and scenery was better than expected. A big shout out to Katie, Georgie and Naomi who were great: friendly, cheerful, relaxed and very helpful with minor details. Their knowledge of the track was excellent and we enjoyed many informative and sometimes funny stories. Naomi was also easy to relate to and was always on the lookout for ways to be helpful to walkers. She was also great at spotting koalas!

    The guides were very helpful as usual and the handover from one to another seemed to work well. I was very appreciative of Katie and Georgie’s help with my heel issues, leech and heat issues. They were kind, professional and good hearted. It was a good group with lots of fun

    The Great Ocean Walk is fabulous. It was not an easy bar the first day (only 8km). Scenery was amazing, accommodation brilliant and the Stroll App made navigating simple . The food at both places we stayed was fabulous. Overall a fantastic Stroll adventure.

    The Great Ocean Walk is a fantastic way to see this part of Australia. The track is well laid out, and the views of the ocean along the way are amazing. Stroll did a great job organizing this and communicated well with us during the whole booking process.

    I urge anyone who enjoys walking with stunning scenery to do this walk. With medium fitness anyone can do it.
    Strolls attention to detail was immaculate.
    The accommodation picked for us was wonderful and the food amazing. We were never hungry but always excited to see what was on the menu.
    The transfer companies used to transfer us each day were always prompt and really helpful adjusting pickup times.
    The information supplied regarding each day’s itinerary was well delivered and easy to follow.
    Amazing 7 days. Could not fault anything!!!
    Thank you

    The Great Ocean Walk was described well in the information and paralled what was described.
    The views were breathtaking and the variety of scenery was perfect!
    The paths and walkways were varied.
    The options for shorter/longer walks were appropriate and enabled all of the group to join in to match their abilities and interests.

    I thought the organisation of the walk, all the associated arrangements, accommodation, and transfers, were excellent Your information pack was exemplary and the App was also invaluable and easy to use. As an overseas customer, based in the UK, I found your organisation easy to deal with and you provided a high level of customer care. I would thoroughly recommend Stroll.

    We couldn’t fault any of the experience provided by STROLL, Once we found the path in Apollo Bay, the path was clearly marked all the way , which was perfect for self-guiding. Accommodation was first class, transfers worked perfectly (and we appreciated that the transferer actually put our beer in the fridge so it was cold when we arrived). Meals were outstanding in every case.

    What an amazing week we had on the Great Ocean Walk. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. And the food? I was a bit worried about my food intolerances before the trip, but I needn’t have been – every meal was absolutely delicious, high quality, and carefully catered to my needs. The walk itself was just beautiful – the views of the coast are breathtaking. I particularly appreciated being able to skip a few stages to take it easy on my pre-existing Achilles tendon problems – this flexibility allowed me to enjoy the whole experience without worry. Thank you Stroll for creating such wonderful memories.

    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.

    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

    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.
