With its breathtaking coastal scenery, magnificent forests, abundant wildlife and sheer diversity of landscape, the Great Ocean Walk bears the mantle of being one of Australia's most iconic walks.
As you walk you will meander your way through giant mountain ash forest, the tallest flowering plants in the world, and along some of the most remarkable pristine beaches in Australia. Traverse the massive sea cliffs that have made this location famous. There's also ample opportunity to spot wildlife in their natural habitat, from kangaroos and echidnas to koalas and whales.
The breathtaking and deserted coastal landscapes, ancient Gondwana forests of Antarctic beech, shady wooded glades and heathland plateaus are the backdrop to a walk that will inspire, challenge and reward.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Stunning coastal scenery en route to Castle Cove
- High sea cliffs with breathtaking views and coastal forests
- Spotting a koala or three!
- Beautiful Milanesia Beach, only accessible by foot
- The Gables lookout – spectacular views and super for whale watching
- The imposing Twelve Apostles

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.

Excellent – the 7 day ocean road guided walk was excellent. The walk is a hike & at times challenging however we had plenty of time for rest breaks & we never felt rushed. We had a cracking time with our group of 13 … I always felt safe, there was lots of very good quality food, a wide selection, etc we made some good friends and definitely had some fun along the way. Well done Stroll five stars from me.

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. Thank you Stroll 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 and food could not be faulted.
Thank you

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.
