Our group of 9 friends did the self-guided 6-day Great Ocean Walk from Apollo Bay. We very sensibly used Hike2camp to provide all our needs, carry all our belongings and set up our tents in each overnight camp. We found Hike2camp run a very professional and friendly service. They provided our breakfast for us to cook or organise ourselves and a packed lunch with plenty of snacks for each day’s hiking. When we reached each day’s camp, our tents were set up with our gear in each, and we had our one-pot dinners ready for heating on the supplied gas stoves. Hike2camp take on all of the hard work and logistics, leaving hikers with the simple pleasures of just hiking during the day and enjoying the company of the other hikers at each camp site at night. I highly recommend using Hike2camp, owned and operated by young local people, who we found provided value for money.

A lovely short walk amongst these interesting trees and fern forest despite the rain easily accessible from the parking lot enroute to Apollo bay.

We combined this walk with the canyon walk starting and ending at Allenvale car park and walking via Phantom Falls. The scenery includes wonderful forests, an amazing ferntree gully and :going down the rabbit hole: to enter the canyon

I feel like I need to write this review for those of us who are unfit, since other reviews say how easy this walk is. The return walk is a killer. I cannot count how many times I had to stop and let my heart rate settle before I could move on. I am capable of walking very long distances on flat land but this 2km constant incline absolutely destroyed me. Decide for yourself if you are fit enough, or willing to swallow your pride and stop every 50m to recover. Having said that! The walk was stunning, there are some incredibly tall and impressive trees to stop and admire. The Cascades themselves are lovely and I had the place to myself. The hike doesn't seem as popular as others in the area so you may well have the perfect quiet hike with only you and the birds singing. I think it would be more difficult in wetter months as I could tell the track is prone to being muddy and slippery. Wear appropriate shoes/gumboots and take hiking poles if you're unsteady on your feet. The scenery was worth the effort and I'll definitely be back once I've spent a few hours on the Stairmaster. ????
