Overview
Imagine, exploring temperate rainforest just near the coast!
The hills are glistening with streams and waterfalls as you walk through giant Mountain Ash, Eucalypts and ancient tree ferns. This stunning area is home to many birds which flit and twitter through the undergrowth around you. You might spot a koala, a kookaburra or perhaps a Satin Bower-bird.
With Surf Coast Walks, enter an ancient canyon where your imagination runs riot. How long have Australians been coming here? The air is redolent with the scents of the Australian forest, accentuated by the moisture all around.
This walk is truly special and can be custom-designed to suit your fitness. For a pleasant walk medium grade hikes are offered on flatter terrain and for the experienced walker seeking a challenge hard grade walking are offered. Your choice!
This walk includes overnight accommodate in a quality B&B in Lorne, all gourmet meals, a massage and glass of wine, transport and of course the expert guide. Or choose the day rate and organise your own accommodation.
