Great Ocean Walk

Reviewed By 970bevw - Cairns, Australia

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.

Apollo Bay Aviation

At Apollo Bay Aviation we pride ourselves on offering an UNMATCHED experience and one that will leave you awestruck. Your host, Vic Bongiorno (company owner, chief pilot and long time resident of Apollo Bay) and his staff at Apollo Bay Aviation would like to invite you to fly with us and experience a once in a lifetime flight. From your seat in our Robinson R44 Helicopter or Cessna aeroplanes (the scenic aircraft of choice) you get to take full advantage of each aircraft’s UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWS and the best possible photo opportunities of this marvellous coast line. Our flight offerings include short flights around Apollo Bay, to flights to the 12 Apostles and Bay of Islands, or even across Bass Strait to King Island or the wilderness of Tasmania. Take the very popular 45 minute 12 Apostles tour and SEE this isolated coastline in its entirety, where for the most parts it is inaccessible by road. LISTEN to our expert commentary provided by your pilot and LEARN all about the history and features of the Shipwreck Coast. We will pass Cape Otway Lighthouse, Dinosaur Cove & Moonlight Head on our way to the Apostles, and then you can take in the fantastic sights of the magnificent limestone cliffs and rock structures, Loch Ard Gorge and the Blow Hole. Extend the tour to 60 minutes and we will also show you Port Campbell, The Arch, London Bridge and the beautiful Bay of Islands on top of the already great sights of the 12 Apostles tour. Due to the popularity of our flights and to get you in the air as quick as possible, bookings are highly recommended. Check out our website or call us for current flight prices, terms and conditions, availability and bookings.

Great Ocean Road

Reviewed By RobandMaryJean

This a bucket-list type of trip - but don't just visit the Twelve Apostles. See Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge (now an arch), The Arch, the Bay of Martyrs, the Bay of Islands and Childers Cove - as well as Bells Beach, Lorne and other stops on the way to Port Campbell. Also, add in visits to the Grampians and Ballarrat if you can.

Very helpful staff unlike our hosts at Dolphin apartments. Our hire car hit a wallaby on our way to the apostles so we had no car for 3 days and the information centre provided us with the taxi number and information on how we could get back to melbourne.
