12 Apostles and Great Ocean Road Walk

Overview

This wonderful 3 Day trip gives you the highlights of the Great Ocean Road on foot. Starting at Blanket Bay (the local's favourite picnic spot), we end three days later at the 12 Apostles, looking back east along this stunning jagged coastline. In between are spectacular cliff tops, secluded beaches and paths that cut a swathe through the coastal heath like goat trails. If you are time poor, like your creature comforts or are new to walking holidays, then this 3 Day/2 Night gem of a trip is for you.

Grading

3 Day Great Ocean Walk Grading: Easy to Moderate, with one tricky section

Our 3 Day Great Ocean Walk is the most accessible way to include some hiking in your holiday.  Our support vehicle and staff are always close at hand, the sections of the trail we do are mostly graded as easy to moderate, and you carry only a day pack so you're not weighed down with toiletries and alike to stop and enjoy the view.
We do include one section of the trail graded as 'Hard' between Milanesia to Moonlight Head.  Why?  Because it's the most spectacular, delivering rewarding views and a true feeling of remoteness. 
How do we make it accessible to everyone?  On our 3 Day Walk we cut the distance covered in a day right down to 11km, dropping you off at the last access point and picking you up again at the bottom of the Moonlight Head Road.  Carrying only a day pack is key, and you don't even carry lunch on this day - our guides do. 

And our guides make sure that your pace is the right pace from the faster to the slowest walker.
