OVERVIEW

We’ve condensed the highlights of the Great Ocean Walk to take in all of the best walking on this iconic track. Breathtaking coastal scenery, magnificent forests, abundant wildlife and sheer diversity of landscape, this walk bears the mantle of being one of Australia’s most spectacular walks.

The walk shows off the diversity of the region,  traversing coastal forest with an abundance of native fauna. The trek ends at the Twelve Apostles, but not before taking a walk down Gibson’s Steps, a stunning perspective of the Apostles which not many walkers are lucky enough to experience.

A pair of expert guides will lead the way, providing the flexibility to walk at a pace that suits you and with the option to shorten the walking if you prefer.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Stunning views as you progress along the track at Castle Cove and the Gables, then at the Wreck and Station Beaches
  • Cape Otway lighthouse
  • The sheer enormity of the limestone cliffs and the sea stacks
  • The Gables lookout – spectacular views and super for whale watching
  • Beautiful Milanesia Beach, only accessible by foot

GENERAL INFO

The trip starts and finishes in Melbourne. Most walks range from 17-20 km on well-formed and well-graded tracks with a few short beach sections. Whilst the walking is mainly easy to moderate, there are a few hills making it tiring in some places. However, Auswalk operates with multiple guides offering easier and harder walk options along the way.

There are many good hotels in central Melbourne to choose from that are in close proximity to our pick up location the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), 180 St Kilda Rd, Melbourne. With an early departure of 7:30 am (we request you be there by 7.15 am) it would be beneficial to stay close to here. Hotels we can recommend are DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel Melbourne, 270 Flinders St Melbourne and Travelodge Hotel Melbourne Southbank, 9 Riverside Quay Southbank. We arrive back in Melbourne at around 7.00 pm on the last day dropping off at the Arts Centre Melbourne.

    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 Great Ocean Walk. 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.

  15. Trish W

    13 December, 2024 at 3:27 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.
