This is the shortlist we would send a friend: the 7 hiking & trekking tours worth booking, each with its price, its traveller verdict, and the one thing to know before you commit.
Small-group Grampians day trip from Melbourne with kangaroos, hikes to Boroka and Balconies, and rock art at Brambuk.
“Very good tour but please note that it's not quite a hiking excursion.”
Hike Wilsons Prom in a small group with two scenic walks, Squeaky Beach, snacks, park fees, and wildlife chances from Melbourne.
“Pick up on time with all traveler's on time this make it a lot easy with small groups.The driver was good and explained things on way .The 3 destinations were good and had a good day.”
Small-group Grampians hiking day from Melbourne with two trails, Pinnacles views, Mackenzie Falls, included park entry and snacks.
“It was a great way to get out of the city without renting a car and to experience the Grampians which we otherwise wouldn't have. It is a long drive (3 hours each way) which is the only negative. Otherwise, the guide (Curtis) was friendly and easy going and the hikes were dramatically pretty.”
Trade Melbourne streets for Arthur’s Seat views, Bushrangers Bay hike, Cape Schanck boardwalk, and Peninsula Hot Springs baths—small group day.
“A wonderful way to seek out beautiful places when you are wanting to explore further than Melbourne CBD. An extremely pleasant hike to Bush Rangers Bay perfectly rounded off by a welcome and delightful dip in the thermal pools at MorningtRead more”
Small-group Phillip Island hike to Cape Woolamai, koalas and The Nobbies, ending at the Penguin Parade at sunset with snacks and entry included.
“Penguin parade was especially cool, but nice to see all the other animals as well. Nice hike and Shane was very knowledgeable and good fun.”
SUP on Port Phillip Bay, a coastal hike and picnic, Peninsula Hot Springs, then winery wine tasting on the Mornington Peninsula.
“Nic is a wonderful guide. Yet laid-back. He gave us space to have conversation as well as quiet. He took us to off the beaten path places where we could quietly enjoy nature while we kept moving in order to keep to our schedule.”
Small-group Phillip Island day with a Cape Woolamai hike, koalas at Cowes, The Nobbies coastline, and a sunset Penguin Parade waddle.
“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.”
