Great Ocean Walk - Deluxe

This trip can also be run as a private departure for five or more people, please enquire for prices and available dates.

Speeding along a windy road with the occasional nervous sideways glance isn't the only way of seeing the world's most spectacular coastline. If you were impressed by the Great Ocean Road, wait until you set foot on the Great Ocean Walk!

Imagine three peaceful days wandering through the rugged beauty of the Shipwreck coast, enjoying the region's best produce, and staying in exclusive, award winning accommodation each evening. Expert local guides offer insights into the area's rich history and wildlife, and you get to meet people of like interests while taking in Australia's best coastal scenery.

Beginning at Apollo Bay, this newly opened walk traverses through the rainforests of the Great Otway National Park to the majestic Twelve Apostles. On the way you'll see kangaroos, koalas aplenty and other wildlife, wild deserted beaches, waterfalls plunging gracefully to the Southern Ocean, a historical lighthouse and visible remains of several historic shipwrecks.

Our Great Ocean walk is unique in its inclusion of local experts, imparting their wisdom of the area's history and environment, making your experience complete.You'll join a local Historian who'll walk with you and share his fascinating knowledge of the area's human and natural history from shipwrecks to Bushtucker. Your walking guides are experienced and professional and know how to look after the needs of individuals and the group.

We only operate small groups and have chosen what we consider the best sections of the track to showcase the wonderfully diverse scenery and habitats. We'll show you a walk of real contrasts from the secluded Parker River inlet to wild Station Beach and the magnificent sea cliffs at remote Milanesia. The walk progresses from 'mild' to 'wild' walking as we head further west towards the 12 Apostles where we finish. At times you'll be walking through river estuaries, other times following a path through grass tree forests or a cliff top walk. There are several beach walks including the remote Wreck beach, where tides and times permit! We call in at the end of the trip to the 12 Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and Port Campbell before returning to Melbourne.

Despite the wild surroundings, you won't be "roughing it." The exercise is rewarded with comfort at the end of the day when you return to your deluxe cabin accommodation. Our Deluxe cabins have a full kitchen, lounge/dining room, LCD TV with Austar, separate toilet and bathroom and a balcony to sit out and enjoy the surroundings.

RAW's Great Ocean Walk is achievable regardless of your fitness level. There are pull out points and so there is no pressure to walk the entire way - you only walk as much as you'd like to. You can return to the accommodation should you wish or walk extra distance, and you'll only need to carry a day pack. RAW's Great Ocean Walk is an inspiring journey that immerses you in natural beauty, with a warm bed and great food at the end of each day.

"The Great Ocean Walk was fantastic. One minute you're walking along the shores of raging beaches, then you're walking through the bush, then you're walking amid lush green hills. It is hard to believe Australia can be this diverse in the one place".

Annalee Matthews

"The Great Ocean Walk blew my mind. The magical scenery would have done that alone, but then add in the seamless organisation, the onsite logistics and the enthralling personalities leading the troops and the whole experience becomes truly memorable and unique"
