What to expect
You'll start early from Melbourne and settle into a comfortable rhythm of driving and stopping. The minibus does most of the work; you step out at scenic points to stretch your legs and take photos. Some stops are simple boardwalks with minimal effort, whilst others involve short walks with steps. The guide will point out where animals hang out and share local knowledge. You'll overnight at a hostel in Apollo Bay, sharing a dorm room unless you upgrade. The pace suits all fitness levels, with no gruelling hikes—just enough walking to break up the road time and get you close to the scenery.
Good to know
Pack layers and waterproof jackets; coastal weather changes quickly. Bring walking shoes with grip. Accommodation is dorm-style unless you pay extra to upgrade. Food and drinks are separate costs, so plan your budget accordingly. Solo travellers should confirm availability in advance. The tour runs rain or shine.
