Conquer the Tracks

With hundreds of tracks and trails for walking and cycling, there's an experience here for everyone - from family friendly strolls through nature to soul-stirring multi-day hikes and thrilling mountain bike expeditions. Lace up your runners, ring your bike bell, or pack your camping essentials.

Great Ocean Walk – 104kms of Pure Inspiration 

Embark on the journey of a lifetime along Victoria’s iconic Great Ocean Walk. Far from the busy roads and crowds, this trail follows the rugged coastline from Apollo Bay to the legendary 12 Apostles, immersing you in breathtaking landscapes. 

With the expansive Southern Ocean on one side and ancient rainforests on the other, you’ll traverse soaring clifftops, secluded bush trails, fern-filled groves, wild rocky shores, and untouched beaches. Each step reveals contrasting habitats, abundant wildlife, and panoramic beauty. 

Take on the full 7-8 day trek for a complete adventure, or break it into a shorter, scenic day hike. Camp under starlit skies in remote campsites or relax in off-trail accommodations with shuttle service or opt for a guided experience.
