• Melbourne - The day begins early, departing from Melbourne promptly at 7:35 am. Guests are encouraged to have breakfast before the tour, as a long drive awaits.
• Beaufort - The adventure starts in the relaxed town of Beaufort, ideal for a morning stretch and a snack. Then, it’s straight into the excitement as we head to Grampians National Park!
• Halls Gap Visitor Information Centre - Upon reaching the stunning National Park, we visit the Halls Gap Visitor Centre, where you can explore and witness the creation stories that form the lore of this diverse landscape. Wander around the cultural centre to spot wallabies, emus, and possibly even echidnas in the bush. Gain a deeper appreciation of Gariwerd’s significance for the Indigenous people.
• Grampians National Park - In a single day, experience the highlights of this awe-inspiring National Park from Melbourne.

Feel as if you’ve traveled back in time as you admire the Ancient Landscape with its rugged mountain ranges and magnificent sandstone ridges. With a knowledgeable guide leading you through this remarkable scenery, you’ll leave the tour with a new understanding of the region’s countryside and history.

• MacKenzie Falls - Arguably the most renowned waterfall in Victoria, we hike down to the base and back to admire the impressive water flow and feel the refreshing spray in the air. The hike involves about 250 steps to the base and back, and if you prefer a gentler flat walk over the top of the falls, that’s perfectly fine!

If MacKenzie Falls is ever closed to the public, this stop will be replaced with a serene hike to Silverband Falls.
