OVERVIEW
Trek one of Australia's most stunning sections of coastline on a full week walk of the Great Ocean Rd Track. You will enjoy great accommodation, incredible food & the company of new friends. Each day will present different terrain & spectacular views giving you a full appreciation of what this amazing landscape and ecosystem has to offer. Breathtaking coastal scenery, deserted wild beaches, sheer cliffs, historical lighthouses and shipwrecks, giant mountain ash forests, pristine river estuaries, abundant wildlife, dunes and coastal heathlands all await the adventurous hiker on this exciting 7 day expedition.

The Great Ocean Walk extends from Apollo Bay through the Great Otway National Park, to the famous Twelve Apostles near Port Campbell. Along the way it traverses some of Australia's most amazing coastal scenery, cutting through the Otway National Park where mountains and forest plunge dramatically to meet the Southern Ocean. The trail is rich with wildlife as the Otway National Park is home to over 60 threatened species, so expect to see Wallabies, Koalas, Echnida's and other iconic Australian wildlife on your hikes as well as abundant birdlife.

This walk encompasses the full length of the walking trail so you experience all of the most spectacular and remote sections of the trail, showcasing all the wonderful diversity of scenery and habitats. We have also included a 'rest day' on Day 4 with a shorter, leisurely walk with a local shipwreck historian who will bring the incredible history of this coast alive. We will also be accompanied by an Indigenous guide who join us on a section and present to us on the culture and traditions of the Aboriginal people who occupied this area for thousands of years. Both presentations are fascinating and at the end of the week you'll leave with a much richer understanding of the natural and man made history that makes this area so unique.
