We would like to say what a delightful group of people you have that looked after us. Apollo Bay Taxis were on time every time. They went above and beyond especially when Marions walking boots fell apart and had to be replaced. Thank you Vanessa, Colin and Sue.
Chi Farm (WOW). Magnificent fresh healthy food, and so much of it. I think we both had put on weight by the end of the walk. Thank you Jodie and Shane.
Cafe 153, Waves and Des at Portside Motel thank you all for making us so welcome.
It was obvious to us that they all highly value their relationship with Auswalk, and this made the walk a thoroughly enjoyable experience for us.

Excellent – the 7 day ocean road guided walk was excellent. Our guides Lee & Bec were well organised, enthusiastic & most helpful, nothing was too hard. The walk is a hike & at times challenging however Lee & beck ensured we had plenty of time for rest breaks & we never felt rushed. We had a cracking time with our group of 13 … I always felt safe, felt the guides had everything under control, there was lots of very good quality food, a wide selection, etc we made some good friends and definitely had some fun along the way. Well done Auswalk five stars from me

What an amazing week we had on the Great Ocean Walk. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Our guides, Bec and Lee, were not only super professional but kept us entertained with their delightful sense of humour. And the food? I was a bit worried about my food intolerances before the trip, but I needn’t have been – every meal was absolutely delicious, high quality, and carefully catered to my needs. The walk itself was just beautiful – the views of the coast are breathtaking. I particularly appreciated being able to skip a few stages to take it easy on my pre-existing Achilles tendon problems – this flexibility allowed me to enjoy the whole experience without worry. Thank you Auswalk for creating such wonderful memories.

I have done many guided and self- guided walks in many different parts of the world and this walk is definitely up there with the best of them. The walk itself iwas beautiful but challenging enough to provide a delicious sense of achievement at the end of each day! The accommodation and food, wonderful and plentiful and felt like a luxurious reward for our endeavours. Our guides Katie and Chris are very knowledgeable, experienced and capable and above all down to earth and delightful human beings, both with a great sense of humour. They made everyday special with little treats and surprises such as champagne at London Bridge’ after a long walk. They made my husband’s birthday feel very special at very little notice. We had fabulous weather and a great bunch of walkers which made the whole experience perfect!

This was my first experience of a guided walk and it was certainly a luxury experience. Being collected from central Melbourne and then being driven to the start of each day’s walk, having luxurious accommodation with all meals provided and guides leading the route each day resulted in carefree hiking. As my wife and I are 75 and 80 respectively we expected that we may have to take an early bail out option on some of the harder days but with our supply of trail snacks, lunch and the encouragement of the guides we were able to complete the full distance each day.

We have used Auswalks once before and were so pleased with the walk, accommodation, food and logistics that we then did the Great Ocean Road Walk which is a lot of fun. The guides were all exceptional in their attention to detail, helpfulness, professionalism and great humour. We look forward to many more walks with Auswalks and have already booked the next one starting in a couple of months. Thanks once again for making this such a fun and rewarding experience.

The Great Ocean Walk was sublime in so many ways, the picturesque yet treacherous environment (you can really see how many ships and lives were lost in the past), the variety of landscapes and seascapes – heathlands to farmlands all traversed by foot. The guides, bringing their knowledge of the local history through storytelling added to the meaning of walking the 100ks. I felt transported back in time and yet my feet were firmly on the ground. I highly recommend this walk.

The Great Ocean Walk 7 Days met all my expectations as a well-organised and professionally run guided walk in a wildly beautiful part of Australia – mountain ash forests, coastal heath, thundering surf, ancient cliffs, pristine beaches, wildlife. Thank you Auswalk, and your guides in particular, for a very enjoyable and memorable holiday.

The walk was brilliantly organized so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The 3 guides, Katie, Georgina and Leanne were there ready to help with anything we needed. The choice of accommodation and meals was generally excellent. There was a big choice of trail snacks and morning tea,options too. Couldn’t have asked for 3 nicer people to guide us.
