The Great Ocean Walk - The trail is 104km long stretching from Apollo Bay in the East to the Twelve Apostles in the west and offers day hikes of around 15km. Graded overall as moderate, the track ranges in elevation from sea level to cliffs of nearly 300 metres high. Trail heads allow vehicle access every 15 - 20km, with our emergency 4WD on stand by for remoter access. End to End, we cover the walk in 6 days. With bothfeet, hikers carry only a day pack and are well supported with a guide on the trail and vehicle support nearby.

A typical day with bothfeet actually starts the night before over dinner. Your guide will chat one on one and see how you found the day's walking and fine tune tomorrow as we go. Each trip is different and any alterations to a published itinerary are made in conjunction with the walkers, taking into consideration the weather, the fitness of the group and personal preferences.

around 7.00am - we give a gentle knock on your door to plant the seed of getting up (that is, unless you're already up or have let us know the night before that you don't intend to walk).

between 7.00am and 8.00am - enjoy breakfast and a briefing of the day ahead.

between 8.00am and 8.30am - we set off for the day. Usually there's a short vehicle transfer to the place we start our walking.

between 8.30am and 9.30am - set out on fresh tracks with the day ahead and the trails to ourselves. Most days your guides carry lunch for you and there's no appointments along the way. So, there's no reason to hurry and no where particular you have to be. Want to walk further each day? There's ways to cater for you. Want to hang back a bit and take photos of the flora? No problem. Chat to your guide and they will show you some vantage points. On average we walk between 12 and 15km per day and our emphasis is on discovery, not speed.

All bothfeet guides carry satellite phones and are in touch with the support vehicle throughout the day.

around 4.00pm - miraculously (or not!) your driver knows just where to meet you, whisking you back to the guest house in time for a hot shower, a massage (one included per walk), pre dinner drink and a delicious 3 course meal.

Custom Journeys
