Arrive at your leisure into Melbourne and  make your way to the accommodation to check in. Meet Sharon, Katrina and the entire team for a welcome dinner where we will get to know each other before our walking adventure starts tomorrow. 

Walking distance 8km-We depart Melbourne CBD at 8 am heading for the spectacular Great Ocean Road and Apollo Bay, the start of the Great Ocean Walk. Enjoy a fresh picnic lunch and get to know your Inspirational Outdoors guide and see if you can spot some Australian fur seals out on the rocks. The walk today is relatively easy with some short sections of beach walking and a few hills. Keep an eye out for koalas near Shelly beach!

The coach will take us to our stunning accommodation at Cape Otway Lightstation.

Blanket Bay to Aire Inlet. Walking distance 5 + 11km

Today the walk starts off at Blanket Bay. Walking on cliff tops and through the coastal forest, we end the first section of our day at Parker Hill. Look out for black wallabies, echidnas, black cockatoos and other wildlife along the way.

From here the bus will take us to Cape Otway Lightstation from where we then walk along the calcified cliff tops to Aire River. Today you may opt to walk all or only parts of the day.

Milanesia Beach to Moonlight Head. Walking distance 11kms

The first highlight today is Milanesia Beach, which is one of those secret beaches not many people get to see. The track then cuts through and alternates between farmland and isolated beach and sea cliffs with a roller coaster of ups and downs to reach Ryan's Den. From here you'll have breathtaking views all the way back to Cape Otway and west to Cape Volney. From Ryan's Den the trail then continues through coastal forests over Cape Volney towards Moonlight Head. It is a challenging (lots of ups and downs), but a very rewarding day. Tonight we have dinner at the Princetown Tavern and spend the night at Clifton Beach Lodge.

Princetown to the 12 Apostles. Walking distance 6kms

The wetlands around Princetown support a wide variety of bird life, where we will cross the Gellibrand River on a trestle bridge to embark on one of our last sections to the 12 Apostles. A pleasant walk through coastal scrub and escarpment will start to reveal stunning views of the looming Apostles. We will end our walk today at Gibson's steps, taking in the eastern Apostles from sea level for a unique perspective. You may also opt to go for a swim if the weather is nice.

After viewing the 12 Apostles and lunch we will make our way back to Melbourne.

When we arrive back in Melbourne we will pack away our well-worn walking clothes and get dressed up for a celebration dinner with our team. This is a great opportunity to reflect on our past few days.

You also have the opportunity to add on a helicopter flight over the 12 Apostles for an additional charge. ​
