Great Ocean Walk + Grampians Hiking Adventure

Grampians Sunset - Great Ocean Walk & Grampians 3 Day Private Tour

Great Ocean Walk + Grampians 3 Day Hike & Camp Tour – Jan 2020

With my new favourite family from Durango, Colorado

Trip Report & Photos

This was only the second time I organised this epic 3 day adventure that involves sightseeing along the Great Ocean Road, hiking 35km’s of the Great Ocean Walk from Blanket Bay to Johanna Beach and then spending a day in the Grampians National Park but this itinerary is quickly becoming my favourite to highlight the very best of Victoria to those groups and families from overseas looking for something unique.

Please see pictures from an awesome adventure with a fantastic family from Durango, Colorado.
