Twelve Apostles Eco Walk

Your three-hour transfer from Melbourne brings you to your walking lodge in Johanna. Settle in with morning tea and meet your walking guides prior to gearing up for your first trek. Transfer by vehicle and start your walk in Castle Cove. Following the dramatic cliff line, pass through Dinosaur Cove and Rotten Point, and pause in a scenic location for a picnic lunch. Continue through grass-tree forests and melaleucas to Johanna. Finish with a 2km meander along Johanna Beach, a river crossing and a 3km walk back to the lodge, where a foot spa, glass of wine and chef-prepared meal await (Approx.11km) (L,D). Walking lodge

Today’s terrain is wilder and more diverse. You will traverse farmland and amble down country lanes before heading through Manna Gum and stringybark forests to the beautiful Milanesia Beach. Climb up the ridge and continue along the hillside for a rewarding coastal view over Milanesia. A further ascent west leads to a fabulous vista of Cape Otway with panoramic views (Approx.20km, option to walk just morning or afternoon) (B,L,D). Walking lodge

Transfer back to Moonlight Head to commence your walk today. The first part winds through a tunnel of forest that leads to The Gables Lookout. The itinerary for the remainder of the day is dependent on tides, but will include a spectacular picnic spot and an afternoon of stunning coastal views, finishing with a flat gentle walk into Princetown (Approx.17km, with option to walk just morning or afternoon) (B,L,D).

Relax and make the most of your final morning at the lodge. After breakfast you are transferred to the small coastal village of Princetown to begin the last dramatic stage of the walk – an 8km hike to the striking rock formations of the Twelve Apostles, one of Australia’s premier natural attractions. Transfer to the nearby helipad where you are whisked away on an exhilarating 10-minute scenic helicopter flight over the Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and Port Campbell – a fabulous finale! Enjoy lunch at Port Campbell and take the opportunity for a shower before your transfer back to Melbourne. Enjoy two nights at the luxurious Park Hyatt to rest your weary feet (B,L).
