What you can expect

Adventure is just around the corner on this hiking day tour to The Grampians from Melbourne. Escape the city and enjoy the great outdoors during hikes that will lead you to rock formations, famous escarpments, secret waterfalls and awe inspiring lookouts. Begin the morning with a leisurely 4.2km walk to The Pinnacle. Standing tall over the Grampians, peer below at the breathtaking Halls Gap and forest covered rocky escarpments that lay before your eyes.

A short walk after lunch will take you onto Mackenzie Falls to view one of Victoria's largest cascading waterfalls. The falls will have you mesmerised by the tumbling water plunging into the deep pools below but before you know it will be time to stop in at Halls Gap, the charming tourist village to see the local kangaroo hangout spot and end the day with a visit at the Boroka Lookout. With so much to see and do in The Grampians, why not join this hiking day tour and visit all the best sights of this natural wonder.

This famous jagged cliff face is quite the sight and there will be plenty of time to soak up the views and capture some amazing photos. Once we return, we will stop for a delicious cafe or bakery lunch before the drive up to MacKenzie Falls. Feel free to dip your toes in the icy mountain water to refresh your feet. Our next stop is the picturesque Boroka Lookout where you will be able to experience stunning views of Halls Gap, Lake Bellfield and Mt. William mountain ranges. We return to the delightful local village of Halls Gap where we will reveal one of the local kangaroo’s favourite hangout spots before making the journey back to Melbourne.
