Melbourne · HIKING & TREKKING
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 6 hiking & trekking tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Explore the Grampians from Melbourne with lookouts, waterfalls, kangaroos, Aboriginal culture, and guided walks on a long small-group day.
“It was OK, but I'd like to spend more time in walking and seeing more waterfalls. Also, the bus was very old and with bad stereo system - we could barely hear our guide.”
Hike Wilsons Prom from Melbourne with Big Drift dunes, Mt Oberon views, Squeaky Beach, wildlife, snacks, and a small group of eight.
“Superb. The smaller tour group size worked perfectly as we covered so many locations in a single day. The views were all fantastic and memorable with perfect weather, and wilsons promontory is not too crowded. Our tour guide Shane was super nice and gracious too. Lots and lots of walking and hiking so bring some sturdy boots!”
Hike to the Grampians Pinnacles, MacKenzie Falls, and Boroka Lookout on a small-group day trip from Melbourne with guide and snacks.
“I didn’t know what came over me when I decided to book this 1-day hiking trip, but it was so worth it. The views, the hike, and the fact that it’s a small group made my trip to Melbourne worthwhile.”
Hike Cape Woolamai, spot koalas, explore The Nobbies, and watch Phillip Island penguins return at sunset on a small-group day tour.
“A very full day covering several enjoyable experiences culminating with the amazing Penguin Parade. Shane is an excellent and knowledgable guide.”
Paddle Port Phillip Bay, hike the Mornington coast, soak at Peninsula Hot Springs, enjoy lunch and wine tasting in one day.
“A lovely day. Well paced and very professional with attention to detail. A great way to experience the Mornington Peninsula in a sustainable way and support like minded local businesses. Will be booking all my visitors In future!!!!”
Hike Cape Woolamai, spot koalas and watch Phillip Island penguins come ashore on a small-group day tour from Melbourne.
“The cost of the trip is too high for the overall experience. It’s better to book a more economic tour and purchase upgraded tickets for Penguin Parade. The hike along Wollomai Beach is good but not great. Apart from the highly priced tour you will easily spend over 50$ on food and souvenirs. It’s best to choose a Penguin Parade tour and upgrade your ticket on the Penguin Parade website.”
Pick a coast road, a cellar door or a laneway.
