I thoroughly enjoyed hiking the Great Ocean Walk from Apollo Bay to Port Campbell. It was challenging at times with steep inclines & descents under a hot sun but I'm proud to have completed the 104km without any blisters on my feet! The scenery was fantastic! We were lucky to have had great weather every day but one. But even on that rainy day it was mesmerising to watch the rough surf on such a beautiful coastal backdrop. I highly recommend taking the optional helicopter ride on the last day. The views are majestic!

The great ocean walk tour was fantastic all-round. The accommodation and meals were excellent, the track was spectacular and the tour leaders (Geof and Tevvi) were knowledgeable, friendly, encouraging and enthusiastic. I would highly recommend this trip.

I'm from Iceland visiting AUS in 5 tweaks and decided to make this hike because it sounds like it's worth it! And my intuition was right! 😊 It was an amazing trip! Every day hike in the beautiful nature with the ocean on the site... Feeling the breeze on a hot day… our tea/ coffee stops at a beautiful spot. See kangaroos… koalas…birds… was just breathtaking… Nice accommodations… good food…and at least not last our amazing team, our guides Deni& Cami made this even more fantastic…Taking very good care of our group! Thank you! I recommend going on this trip 100%😊

Great walking holiday. The terrain varies along the trail providing a unique perspective of the area. Accommodation and food provided was top-notch. Cammie and Dan were two of the best tour guides you could ever hope to have.
