The adventure begins as you meet your guides and fellow travellers in Melbourne. From there, embark on a road trip filled with anticipation. The day's walk takes you through some of the most scenic sections of the Great Ocean Walk. From tranquil eucalypt forests to the majestic cliffs overlooking the sea onto pristine sandy beaches and the iconic Cape Otway Lighthouse, you'll be captivated by the beauty of your surroundings. As you walk, breathe in the fresh ocean air and savour the feeling of being truly immersed in nature. In the afternoon, return to the private eco-lodge nestled in rainforest surrounds. Your host meets you with canapes and champagne before serving a long-table dinner starring Apollo Bay seafood and fresh local produce.

If the tide allows, descend onto Wreck Beach,a hidden gem that forms part of a treacherous coastline rich in maritime history and responsible for some 180 shipwrecks over the years. After lunch, visit the enchanting rainforest trail of Melba Gully with towering Mountain Ash and Beech Myrtle with an understory of tree ferns and a soundscape of flowing waterfalls.
