Why We Love This Unique Experience
Melbourne Experience Gifts: Hike past the 12 Apostles and through ancient rainforests during this amazing day tour to the Great Otway National Park.
Just shy of a three hour drive from Melbourne, this stunning coastal national park is the perfect place to explore on foot. You’ll follow the park’s wooden boardwalk for a short hike, stopping to take in the jaw-dropping view of the famous 12 Apostles limestone stacks rising from the ocean. Prepare for more incredible scenery as you push deeper into the park, meandering along winding paths past ancient rainforest and giant California Redwood trees. Breathe in this magical world where waterfalls cascade down to rock pools and koalas cling to trees, before completing your amazing day exploring the quaint ocean side town of Lorne. Driving the Great Ocean Road is a must for any trip to Victoria, and having someone do the driving means you can sit back and admire the views!
This full day 12 Apostles, Beauchamp Falls, Apollo Bay and Lorne adventure makes for an unforgettable day out, and a unique experience gift for outdoor adventurers.

Experience Overview:
Great Ocean Road And 12 Apostles Hiking TourEXPERIENCE THE 12 APOSTLES & GREAT OTWAY NATIONAL PARK IN OUR SMALL GROUP TOUR.
Our small group (8 guests max) will depart Melbourne and head straight to the famous 12 Apostles before the masses of people arrive. Here we will take a 1km stroll along the boardwalk while appreciating the stunning views of the limestone stacks before continuing onto another spectacular scene, Gibson Steps. We walk down the 70m cliffside pathway to the beach where there is plenty of time to take some incredible photos. Next it’s time for a delicious lunch at our favourite local café before we’ll drive through the magical Great Otway National Park and take a 3km hike through ancient rainforests to the dreamy Beauchamp Falls (where the big bus companies can’t go).
Our next stop we will take a stroll amongst the giants of the forest at the Californian Redwoods before continuing along the iconic Great Ocean Road stopping at Apollo Bay for an optional ice cream. Kennett River is next where you’ll get the chance to spot native koalas, king parrots & kangaroos going about their routines. We will take a quick stop in the beautiful town of Lorne where you can walk along the beach or simply grab an afternoon snack before heading back to Melbourne.

Hike & Seek
We are James & Mette, nature lovers, hikers and seekers.
While hiking through Victoria’s Sealers Cove in Wilson Promontory we came up with the idea of Hike & Seek as a way of combining our love of nature, nutrition, travel and good times with fellow travellers and locals alike.
So we set out on a mission to find the most beautiful and epic hiking destinations all within a short drive from Melbourne. We thought what better way to see all that Victoria has to offer than in a VW Kombi van, the original adventurer. We named her Olivia and restored her for maximum comfort on the road. Since our humble beginnings we have introduced a few newer model VW to the fleet, Biggie & Panda. Both are built for adventure and share the same free-spirited soul of what we set out to offer through Hike & Seek.
Our intimate, small group hiking tours have been designed for other like-minded folk who share the same enthusiasm, curiosity and sense of respect for nature and the outdoors that we have.
