Group-guided

OVERVIEW

We've condensed the highlights of the Great Ocean Walk to take in all of the best walking on this iconic track. Breathtaking coastal scenery, magnificent forests, abundant wildlife and sheer diversity of landscape, this walk bears the mantle of being one of Australia's most spectacular walks.

The walk shows off the diversity of the region,  traversing coastal forest with an abundance of native fauna. The trek ends at the Twelve Apostles, but not before taking a walk down Gibson's Steps, a stunning perspective of the Apostles which not many walkers are lucky enough to experience.

A pair of expert guides will lead the way, providing the flexibility to walk at a pace that suits you and with the option to shorten the walking if you prefer.

Highlights

  • Stunning views as you progress along the track at Castle Cove and the Gables, then at the Wreck and Station Beaches
  • Cape Otway lighthouse
  • The sheer enormity of the limestone cliffs and the sea stacks
  • The Gables lookout – spectacular views and super for whale watching
  • Beautiful Milanesia Beach, only accessible by foot

FITNESS GUIDE

It’s well worth investing some time and effort preparing for your walking holiday. The graph shows the average daily distance, elevation and terrain difficulty for your hike. The dotted line indicates the average across all our walks, which will give you a feel for how challenging your walk is compared to all – and the recommended type, and amount, of preparation needed.  Of course, you can adapt this according to your existing fitness levels and lifestyle.

The graph and the information below can be used in conjunction with the fitness guide to help you prepare for your walking adventure. Across all walks, average daily distance is 16.8km, average daily elevation is 448m, average terrain difficulty is 5/10.

ngraph

DISTANCE - ~AVERAGE

Distance training should be a consideration in your overall training program, so take every opportunity you can to walk. As you progress, incorporate longer walks into your training plan.

Schedule one or two long walks each week, gradually increasing the distance until you can comfortably cover 16km in a single day. Also include walks on consecutive days to help your body adapt to the demands of walking for multiple days in a row.

Ensure you can comfortably walk the average distance per day displayed in the graph, at least one month before you undertake your hike.

ELEVATION - ABOVE AVERAGE

Elevation training is a major consideration in your overall training program. You must include walks with serious hill climbs.

If you do not have access to hills, it is essential to replicate the elevation level you will be undertaking in any way possible such as on a treadmill or stair climber. Walking up and down stairs at work, at a local oval with a grandstand, or up and down small hills is incredibly useful. Also, prioritising resistance weight training will help you develop overall muscle strength.  Elevation is often where walkers encounter problems, opposed to distance, as it uses an entirely different set of muscles to everyday flat walking.

If high altitude is a factor, incorporate sessions at a higher altitude to acclimatise your body to reduced oxygen levels if you are able to. Ensure you can comfortably walk the average elevation per day displayed in the graph, at least one month before you undertake your hike.

TERRAIN

MOUNTAINOUS / UNDULATING TERRAIN

As terrain associated with mountain climbs is often somewhat uneven and rocky, balancing and core exercises are vital.

Try to also include some form of elevation in more than 50% of your walking and prioritise resistance training, whilst incorporating stairs anytime you can. Walking up mountains or hills, up and down stairs at work, or up and down at a local oval with a grandstand is incredibly useful. Elevation is often where walkers encounter problems not distance, as it uses an entirely different set of muscles to everyday flat walking. Concentrate on doing lots of squats and lunges to build your glute muscles.

UNEVEN TERRAIN

Preparation for hiking on uneven terrain demands a blend of physical and mental readiness.

Begin with balance-enhancing exercises, such as one-legged stands and stability ball workouts, laying a groundwork for stability and coordination. Strengthening the lower body is especially important, achieved through the incorporation of squats, lunges, and step-ups. Gradually increase the complexity of the terrain on which you walk, moving from gravel paths to rocky trails. Cultivate mindfulness during your practice, directing focused attention to both your immediate surroundings and precise foot placement.

The importance of suitable footwear cannot be overstated; prioritise options that offer robust support and reliable grip to navigate varying terrains with confidence. Build endurance through consistent hikes, progressively increasing distance and difficulty.

GENERAL INFO

The trip starts and finishes in Melbourne. Most walks range from 17-20 km on well-formed and well-graded tracks with a few short beach sections. Whilst the walking is mainly easy to moderate, there are a few hills making it tiring in some places. However, Auswalk operates with multiple guides offering easier and harder walk options along the way.

Our pick up location for this trip is the Mercure Southbank, 9 Riverside Quay in Southbank with an early departure of 7.30am (we request you be there by 7.15am). It would be beneficial to stay close by.

We arrive back in Melbourne at around 8.30 pm on the last day dropping off at the Mercure Southbank.

For what to bring please refer to Gear Advice on our FAQ section.

WEATHER

This trip is suitable at any time in the year, but we depart at the very best time being autumn and spring. See the Bureau of Meteorology’s information about temperatures and rainfall ahead of time to ensure proper clothing.

    An absolutely first class guided tour of a beautiful scenic walk from Sunday – Saturday along this amazing walk. Nature is represented on this walk in so many ways. Long empty beaches with estuaries to cross, surging waves to dab a toe in, clifftop heathlands, rainforests, forests and views from Apollo By to Port Campbell to leave you sighing…
    We saw lots of koalas, Eastern grey kangaroos, swamp wallabies, red necked wallabies, seabirds of all kinds, a shy echnida, a couple of snakes keeping out of our way and so much more. The two guides were extremely experienced, professional and informative. We heard of the history of the making of the Great Ocean Road, the shipwrecks, The Lighthouse at Cape Otway stories, and many more. Flora and fauna and the long history of the rock formations along the way. All questions were answered perfectly and we all learnt a tremendous about about southern Victoria. The guides helped enormously with any feet issues, gear ware and organised the best food for our lunches in the bush! I would 100% recommend Auswalks for this walk, and any of their other walks(the walkers in th group had done several Auswalk walks and all agreed they were the best, with lots of variety of destinations.)

    We had a fabulous walking holiday. The Aus walk guide book was thorough and easy to follow. It maximised our opportunities to experience beautiful features of the coastline and environment. Backup support from the office was prompt and efficient, ensuring our needs were effectively met in a timely manner. Georgie and John, our transfer drivers were also fabulous, they were flexible in accommodating our requests to personalise our start and finish times, they were a valuable source of information and considerate and caring when the weather became challenging. They went out of their way to make our experience a positive one. Our accommodation at The Great Ocean Walk Retreat was lovely, clean and comfortable. Overall, we could not have asked for better service. I highly recommend AusWalks and will look forward to booking another holiday with them again in the future.

    Overall the organisation was superb and greatly contributed to my enjoyment of this walk. I’d like to thank the team for all the work involved – especially with all the additional challenges of the pandemic – it was great and we will definitely be doing another walk with your company. Testimonial: The Great Ocean Walk is a great walk with stunning scenery, made even better by the excellent organisation by Auswalk who made the trip seamless from end to end. This is definitely the way to do a walk like this – with your luggage transported to lovely accommodation – and all meals supplied and of such excellent quality. Staying at Cape Otway for 2 nights was a definite highlight. What a fabulous spot and thanks for the amazing food hamper supplied for the 2 nights there. More food than we could eat but great to have so much to choose from.

    An absolutely first class guided tour of a beautiful scenic walk from Sunday – Saturday along this amazing walk. Nature is represented on this walk in so many ways. Long empty beaches with estuaries to cross, surging waves to dab a toe in, clifftop heathlands, rainforests, forests and views from Apollo By to Port Campbell to leave you sighing…
    We saw lots of koalas, Eastern grey kangaroos, swamp wallabies, red necked wallabies, seabirds of all kinds, a shy echnida, a couple of snakes keeping out of our way and so much more. The two guides were extremely experienced, professional and informative. We heard of the history of the making of the Great Ocean Road, the shipwrecks, The Lighthouse at Cape Otway stories, and many more. Flora and fauna and the long history of the rock formations along the way. All questions were answered perfectly and we all learnt a tremendous about about southern Victoria. The guides helped enormously with any feet issues, gear ware and organised the best food for our lunches in the bush! I would 100% recommend Auswalks for this walk, and any of their other walks(the walkers in th group had done several Auswalk walks and all agreed they were the best, with lots of variety of destinations.)

    We had a fabulous walking holiday. The Aus walk guide book was thorough and easy to follow. It maximised our opportunities to experience beautiful features of the coastline and environment. Backup support from the office was prompt and efficient, ensuring our needs were effectively met in a timely manner. Georgie and John, our transfer drivers were also fabulous, they were flexible in accommodating our requests to personalise our start and finish times, they were a valuable source of information and considerate and caring when the weather became challenging. They went out of their way to make our experience a positive one. Our accommodation at The Great Ocean Walk Retreat was lovely, clean and comfortable. Overall, we could not have asked for better service. I highly recommend AusWalks and will look forward to booking another holiday with them again in the future.

    Overall the organisation was superb and greatly contributed to my enjoyment of this walk. I’d like to thank the team for all the work involved – especially with all the additional challenges of the pandemic – it was great and we will definitely be doing another walk with your company. Testimonial: The Great Ocean Walk is a great walk with stunning scenery, made even better by the excellent organisation by Auswalk who made the trip seamless from end to end. This is definitely the way to do a walk like this – with your luggage transported to lovely accommodation – and all meals supplied and of such excellent quality. Staying at Cape Otway for 2 nights was a definite highlight. What a fabulous spot and thanks for the amazing food hamper supplied for the 2 nights there. More food than we could eat but great to have so much to choose from.
