Take a day trip from Melbourne to experience the natural wonders of the Grampians National Park. A geological playground for hikers, rock climbers and wildlife, the Grampians offer second to none views over the the park and western plains of Victoria and is home to the spectacular Mackenzie Falls. (temporarily closed an alternative will be offered)
We showcase the region known as Gariwerd by the local Indigenous people. A spectacular series of rugged mountain ranges to the west of Melbourne. Home to an abundance of kangaroos, wallabies and other native animals and rich in natural wonders with stunning waterfalls and panoramic mountain views. This Grampians tour includes short walks to some of our favourite spots and includes a visit to the Grampians Visitor Information Centre for an insight into the history of the people, the landscape and the wildlife that make up this region.

With an experienced guide leading you through this incredible scenery, you will come away from tour with a new understanding of the countryside and history of the region.
MacKenzie Falls
o oră Intrarea inclusă
Probably the most famous waterfall in Victoria, we hike down to the base and back to marvel at the sheer amount of water and to feel the fresh spray in the air. The hike is about 250 steps to the base and back and if you prefer an easier flat walk out over the top of the falls this is absolutely fine!
If ever Mackenzie Falls were closed to the public this stop would be substituted for a peaceful hike to Silverband Falls.
The Balconies
o oră Intrarea inclusă
We then enjoy a hike along the shady path through the gumtrees and fascinating rock formations out to The Balconies, here you will see the famous ‘Jaws of Death’ with majestic views and scenery, featured in the Japanese Animation ‘Princess Mononoke’.
