About this tour

You arrive in Adelaide having covered serious ground on foot and by road.

What to expect
Expect a physical journey requiring steady legs. Days mix driving with moderate-to-challenging walks—some steep, some lengthy—through national parks and along coastal paths. Mornings start early; you'll move between locations, stopping to walk sections of the Great Ocean Road and tackle Grampians trails with elevation gain. Nights are basic hostel dorms with shared facilities. Breakfast and dinner are provided; you'll need to source lunch and snacks independently along the way. Weather varies; pack layers and waterproofs. The bus holds 1 suitcase and 1 carry-on per person maximum.
