Built recently to compliment Victoria's famous Great Ocean RoadJohannaCliffViews1 the Great Ocean Walk stretches for 104km from Apollo Bay to near the 12 Apostles east of Port Campbell.

Our walk tackles all the most spectacular sections of the walk with walking sections averaging around 15km per day. This is an inspiring walk which has rapidly gained popularity amongst walkers as one of Australia's best walking trails.

We have chosen sections which showcase all the walk has to offer: picture yourself walking along beautiful stretches of remote beach with the surf from the southern ocean crashing at your feet! Rugged clifftop paths, steep inspiring cliffs, waterfalls which cascade onto the beach, Great Ocean Walkour walk takes in all of these and more. View our galleries to get a better for feel for what this walk has to offer.

Our walk begins at Apollo Bay and finishes at the 12 Apostles, giving you a real sense of achievement when you realise how far you've walked. On Day Two we walk with a local guide and historian who grew up at the Cape Otway Lightstation as son of the lighthouse keeper. He imparts his intimate knowledge and love of the region in an entertaining and thought provoking guided Shipwreck Tour. Our accommodation is basic though comfortable and deluxe upgrades to ensuite cabins are available upon request.

Frank's food is second to none and will prove a real highlight of the tour! As walkers, we know Johanna beach MWP4384how important good quality food is on a walking holiday and with Frank's expertise in the kitchen you can be sure you won't be left wanting morer!
