Trip notes
Day 1: Depart Melbourne - Apollo Bay to Shelly Beach
Our adventure begins! We meet our guides and board our private transfer at the National Gallery of Victoria. We’re treated to spectacular scenery along the Great Ocean Road as we make our way to Anglesea. There, we stop for morning tea and a welcome briefing before continuing to Apollo Bay where we’ll enjoy lunch and last-minute preparations for the trek: topping up water bottles and tightening laces.
Our first steps on the trail are through the beach-side suburb of Marengo, where fur seals hang out on rocks in the bay. Leaving the suburb behind, we trek into rural countryside, the open landscape revealing views along the coast looking south-west towards Cape Otway and north-east over the ranges surrounding Apollo Bay. Continuing on, we descend to a beach for a short rest before rejoining the trail as it winds into low rainforest, and then starts to climb into the Great Otway National Park just above Shelly Beach. Here we complete the day’s trek and transfer to our accommodation before sharing our first team dinner, getting to know each other and reflecting on a great first day.
Transfer Time: 3 hours
Trekking Distance: 9 km
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Day 2: Shelly Beach to Parker Inlet
Our trek today is more challenging and leads away from the coast into the towering forests of Mountain Ash. At up to 65m high, these are some of the biggest trees in Australia and walking through the heart of the giant forest is a humbling experience, with hills to keep you working hard as you soak in the soaring tree canopy above. The trail rejoins the oceanside at Blanket Bay, an isolated stretch of coast, then meanders along the cliff tops and through coastal forests to the quiet haven of Parker Inlet. Keep your eyes open for black wallaby, echidna, black cockatoo, rosella and other wildlife along the way. With today’s challenging but rewarding walk complete, we return to our accommodation and enjoy a hearty dinner together.
Trekking Distance: 20.5 km
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 3: Parker Inlet to Aire River
Today’s trek is all about the coast. We start our trek around Parker Inlet, which gives us the option to walk along the water’s edge following rock shelves and beaches around Point Franklin. The trail then heads inland through manna gums to the Cape Otway Lightstation, Australia’s oldest continuously operating lighthouse. Keep an eye out - you are almost sure to see koalas along this section! The trail winds its way through wind sculpted landscapes of sand dunes, coastal scrubland and magnificent calcified cliffs. At the Aire River Lookout, we enjoy views down to the estuary where the Aire River meets the Southern Ocean. The wetlands look quite spectacular from this vantage point. A nice steady downhill walk from the lookout takes us to a picnic area for lunch.
Trekking Distance: 16.5 km
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 4: Aire River to Johanna Beach
From Aire River, the track heads inland for a while, climbing up and around the next headland through tea-tree forests, and then continues along the coastal path with sweeping views of the rugged coastline. Located on a spectacular bend of the Great Ocean Road at Glenaire, Castle Cove is a beautiful beach surrounded by towering cliffs which have high archaeological significance, as dinosaur fossils have been found here. From Castle Cove the track winds its way along the cliff tops, through heathlands and forests, occasionally emerging to give breathtaking and extensive views along the coast. The forest here is an interesting mixture of manna gums, spring wildflowers and magnificent expanses of grass trees. Make sure you keep an eye out above for Peregrine Falcons. Eventually you will emerge onto the broad expanse of Johanna Beach, one of the best in Australia with superb views and enormous crashing surf.
Trekking Distance: 14 km
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 5: Johanna Beach to Moonlight Head
The first part of today’s walk from Johanna Beach to Ryan’s Den is the wildest and most challenging section of the entire track. From Johanna Beach the track rises through rolling hills and farmland as it cuts inland before returning to the coast and one of the walk’s highlights, Milanesia Beach which receives few visitors and is all the more special for it. We then rollercoaster our way up to Ryan’s Den, our picturesque lunch stop for today with breathtaking views all the way back to Cape Otway and west to Cape Volney. After soaking in the scenery – arguably the most picturesque of the whole track—we continue through coastal forests to Moonlight Head. We check into our accommodation in Port Campbell for the last two nights.
Trekking Distance: 19 km
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 6: Moonlight Head to Princetown
After Moonlight Head the track leads us to The Gables Lookout, perched on one of the highest sea cliffs in mainland Australia. Continuing along the track through a grove of casuarina trees Wreck Beach will come into view, where at low tide you can descend and see the anchors of two of the many shipwrecks that lie submerged along this coast. From Devils Kitchen we follow a new section of track that hugs the wild coastal cliffs towards Princetown where our day’s walking concludes. Tonight we enjoy one last team dinner (at own cost), happy to rest our feet and celebrate a successful adventure so far.
Trekking Distance: 17 km
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Day 7: Princetown to Twelve Apostles - return to Melbourne
It’s the last day of our adventure, and we’ve saved one of the most iconic sights in Australia for today. We set out today near Princetown, home to a wide variety of birdlife in the surrounding wetlands. We reconnect with the Great Ocean Walk on the home stretch into Port Campbell National Park and the world-famous Twelve Apostles. Soon, the famous landmarks come into view with the last kilometre of the Great Ocean Walk taking us through to the Twelve Apostles Visitor Centre. You’ve done it! With the Apostles welcoming us, we celebrate the end of an incredible adventure. We head back into Port Campbell where we can purchase some lunch and collect our bags. It’s then time to transfer back to Melbourne, arriving at approximately 5:30 pm.
Transfer Time: 3 hours
Trekking Distance: 8.5 km
Meals: Breakfast
Note: As this adventure begins early on Day 1, you will need to arrive in Melbourne the day before the trek starts. Accommodation is NOT included on this night. Please do not book your flight home to depart before 7:30 pm on the last day.

Fitness and training
How do I train for this adventure?
We will provide you with basic information on how to prepare for your adventure when you register. We recommend that you consult your GP and a personal trainer to develop a training plan that will prepare you for the challenge.
It is sensible to start training as early as possible before you go on your trek. As part of your training, we recommend making use of your weekends to complete a full day hike and if possible, an overnight hike. You should aim to walk in hilly terrain for 4-5 hours and get up to do it again the following day comfortably. Conventional exercise routines which build strength, fitness and stamina, such as aerobics and light weight training can be beneficial, particularly if your fitness level is less than ideal.

Each room is based on twin share. In the two bedroom cabins, there is a double bed in one room and a twin bunk in the second room along with a shared bathroom and lounge area. You will be sleeping on the bottom bunk only. In the three bedroom cabins there is a double bed in one room, two single beds in the second room and a bunk in the third room. You will be sharing your cabin with other team members.
For the final two nights you'll be staying in Port Campbell in motel-style accommodation with twin or double bedding configurations.
Will I be sharing accommodation?
Yes, you will be sharing your cabin for the first four nights with other guests. You may be in a two or three bedroom cabin. Each has separate bedrooms, a bathroom and lounge area.
With twin share arrangements, if you are travelling solo, you will be paired in a room with a teammate of the same gender.
For the final two nights if you book twin share you will share your room with another guest. If you have booked a single supplement you will have your own room.
I’m travelling with a friend, can we stay together?
Absolutely! If you’re travelling with a friend, please make note of this and we will pair you in a room together. You will be in a two or three bedroom cabin, sharing the cabin with other guests on the adventure for the first four nights and then just with your travelling companion on the final two nights.
